PLS HELP ME??? Choose a quote from Freak The Mighty chapter 15 that you think is important. Why is it important?

In the story "a very old man with enormous wings", why does the young girl get changed into a spider?

"as one of our outstanding historical figures once said, ‘when a great democracy is destroyed, it will not be because of enemies from without but rather because of enemies from within.’" (paragraph 7) how does this quote reveal mccarthy’s point of view and advance the purpose of his speech?

Ineed simplifying this thesis and making it easier to understand for the reader (more concise) "no matter how religious one may be, one’s faith tends to change under unexpected and challenging circumstances."
