I Am Malala
By, Malala Yousafzai

Quote: "I could see a future that could be cut down." (p.18)

Growing up in a community where women had less overall value than men, and where girls don't need an education, Malala wished for a change. She could see not only her future, but the future of other women being limited to the job of a housewife, because without an education, there were no jobs available. I feel like this would make a great quote. Malala had a more pressing issue. Today a "cut down future" so to speak, could be something as simple as a missed opportunity that could affect you for the better later on, or quitting what you love. Even dropping out of school! However it is figurative too. Figuratively a "cut down future" is stopping something that you are good at. Something not as serious, or making one big mistake. I feel like this term makes more sense explained literally than figuratively, however; with all these meanings, comes a good quote.

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.
