Question

Blade not working (Laravel), why is nothing shown?
1.show.blade.php
#extends('book.show')
#section('comment')
Yuup!
#endsection
2.book/show.blade.php
<ul class="cols">
<li>
#yield('comment')
</li>
</ul>

Answer 1

Nothing was wrong with the displayed code. The problem was in your routes. Here is a snippet from your routes:
Route::get('book/{book}', function () {
$comment = 'Hello';
return view('comment.show', ['comment' => $comment]);
});
Route::resource('book', 'BookController');
Route::resource('book') creates the exact same URI as 'book/{book}' so it overrides the first one. In other words, your closure is never triggered. You have several options.
Don't use Route::resource. I like to be explicit with my routes.
Put your Route::get('book/{book} after the Route::resource. This would work too.
Remove Route::get('book/{book}') and just add your code inside your BookController classes show method.
Any of these 3 options will work. I suggest option #3 if you like using Route::resource. Otherwise, I would work with option #1. Option #2 and overriding other routes and such isn't a very nice way of going about things in my opinion.

Answer 2

According to your code in pastebin.
Change return view('comment.show', ['comment' => $comment]); to return view('book.show', ['comment' => $comment]);
EDIT
Another problem is you end your section with #endsection. It will be #stop.
Your code should look like this:
#extends('book.show')
#section('comment')
Yuup!
#stop
