Quentin is a loner who avoids physical activity and is considered to be some kind of genius. He becomes a rocket boy after Sonny asks him for advice about building rockets. Quentin and Sonny do the first crude rocket sketches and theorize how to build them. Quentin has a scientific and bookish orientation to their experience.
