The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight
By, Jennifer E. Smith

Quote: “There’s always a gap between the burn and the sting of it, the pain and the realization."

As one who has felt the meaning of this quote, I believe that it is true. There will always be disappointments in life, and there will always be heartbreaking moments. At funerals when you’re there to say your last goodbyes and you realize, they are really gone and the memories you made with that individual are now only memories and you cannot make any more of them together or talk to them, it's a burden on the shoulders to weigh you down and hurt. The hardest part is loosing them, but the easiest will be remembering them and the happy times you had together. Same with divorces, when your parents spilt so does the family nights, cooking together, daytime outings. All that stuff won’t happen, your mom and dad no longer live in the same house and it’s weird not knowing whose house your going to for the holidays and then when the two find others that make them happy, you then realize at that point there is no chance of them getting back together. Those are terrible situations to be part of, even if its as simple as not making a team or not getting an award, some people take those chances to work harder and try even harder the next time and some might just give up because they feel as if they will never be better and can never make a team.

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.
