Quote:  "That sounds like a pretty good 'why.' Nobody wants to go down in history as the worst ever at something."

I think that this is a good quote because it is true, no one wants to go down as the worst at something ever. I think this is memorable because in the book the worst player in history (at the time) kills a new pitcher that is having even a worse game than he had. So in detail the older worse pitcher kills the young pitcher so that the older one will not be the worse anymore and the younger pitcher will be the worse instead. So this concludes that he had a pretty good reason to kill the pitcher from his viewpoint. If I was the older pitcher I would have accepted that I was the worse ever and coached the pitcher recover from his bad start, because if he had coached him than he would have been more remembered as a good coach than a bad player. If he had helped the young pitcher recover from the bad start the older pitcher could have helped him a lot because he knew how bad it felt to be the worse.

Laila Vazifdar “Orange sparks stream through a gap in the door as the car slams into the side of the shat with a terrible scraping, grinding sound." p.128 The quote is important because it describes the first part of the 9/11 attacks and what someone who was inside the building would have experienced. The quote describes a scene where the elevator is falling for an unknown cause which we later find out is terrorist attacks. The sentence has significant detail as the scene can really be pictured here.

Jason Lemos “I almost say, ‘ Not really.’ But that wouldn’t be true. I could easily be buried under a mudslide of pain right now, and I’m not. I can’t regret that. What I can’t regret is the way I got so free and clear.” pg. 173 This was said in by the main protagonist, Chase Ambrose, in the book Restart, written by Gordon Korman. This quote was him talking about how he got out of trouble. There was trouble in the band room and he accidentally bashed a kid in the head with a fire extinguisher in the midst of a fight. So Chase got out of trouble and regretted that. That’s why I think it’s memorable. In the book, Restart , by Gordon Korman, the main character loses all of his memory after falling off of his roof.Then, Chase becomes a whole different person. This quote talks about how Chase got out of trouble from accidentally bashing a kids on their head with a fire extinguisher. And it bothers him that he got no punishment. I

Christopher Caswell "There's only one me." Chase Ambrose pg. 223 I like this quote because it shows Chase taking credit for the actions of his past self.Chase used to be a bully, trouble maker, and a criminal. But since his fall off his roof, he's changed. He's a nicer person, and he feels guilty about what he did in the past. But he takes responsibility for it. That's why I like this quote. At this Moment in the book he's admitting to the character Mr. Solway that he stole his medal of honor. He also didn't drag his two former friends down with him, even though they tried their best to keep him from returning it.
