What does this quote from 'A Separate Peace' mean 'You headed back through the mud you were drenched anybody could see it was time to come in out of the rain'?

Read the passage over and over to yourself. Break down each line and try to get an understand of what it means. When I read over it, I think that it simply means this: Headed back through the mud= went back into the dirty hard times You were drenched= you were covered and had enough Anybody could see it was time to come out of the rain= metephorically this means that everyone saw that it was NOW... to part away from your troubles (the rain). That's what I got from the passage... and I hope it helps. The book is great and even though at times you don't understand things- keep reading. It's an amazing book :]

The quote suggests that the speaker is advising someone to stop persisting in a difficult or harmful situation, symbolized by being out in the rain and mud. It conveys the idea that it's obvious things are not going well and it's time to seek shelter or find a solution.

The pirates and him are headed for the playoffs Is this a correct sentence?
No. The proper form of the pronoun is "he", as in the separate sentences. This is clearer when the third-person pronoun is placed first, as it properly should be. Separately : The Pirates are headed for the playoffs. He is headed for the playoffs. Joined : He and the Pirates are headed for the playoffs. * You can normally determine the proper form by reading the sentence aloud. Most speakers learned the proper form through simple repetition, and are only confused by the written form.
