Five survive, by Holly Jackson, is about 6 friends who are taking a road trip for spring break and on their road trip they got lost, they took a turn and ended up in a dead end forest road. While they were trying to turn around they popped one tire, which they figured out and fixed easily. Once they got back in the RV that they were driving for spring break, turned around, and all four tires went out. This means they were stranded and they had no cell service. They went out to check it out, and the gas tank was also leaking, someone had shot at the RV.
Simon scoffed. ‘Sure, just a misunderstanding. There’s a sniper out there with a high-powered rifle and a laser sight who’s decided to use us as target practice. But yeah, just a misunderstanding.’ He’d changed his tone. (p.70)
In this quotation Simon (one of the 6 friends) is responding to one of his friends who says that maybe this person thought they were someone else and they didn’t mean to shoot at them. In this quotation he is being very sassy towards his friend and saying sarcastically that what his friend said was very wrong.
