Quote #10

"It's not the same as killing the dead ones, daddy." "It never should be, son. It never should be." (760-761)

This chapter ends with a huge ethical mess. Shane was about to kill Rick (maybe) so Carl killed Shane. Is his action justified because he is protecting his dad? It's sad that a seven-year-old now knows what it's like to kill things, both human and non-human.
