"Get back to work," his boss yelled at him. But the girl's blue eyes wouldn't leave him alone. (a little later) Like the face of this western girl, drawn from his memory. Using his pastel chalk, he touched the eyes with blue-not the right blue, he would need oil paints for that-and put just a hint of red in her lips, smudging the chalk with a wetted finger.
I think it keeps happening over and over because he might really like the girl/love the girl. He may think she is beautiful and he uses his art to represent his feelings.

Peter pounded on the door again. "Something's wrong. I don't know what, but Surf Cat's real scared.: (a little later) Meow, Meow, Meow. God that cat had big lungs.
I think the character <Surf Cat> is acting that way because he is really scared of something and he doesn't like it at all.

"With her longer arms and legs, she sometimes had to pull Peter along. Her heart pounded so hard she became afraid it would literally burst. Sweat poured off her. How high were they? Were they safe?" It make's me wonder about how much she loves her family, like she would do anything just to save her family.

"I know one thing now, Bapa. I don't want to work for other people. I want to be my own boss, have people work for me."
I think the life lesson is that he doesn't want to have orders and it effects the character because he will try and be his own boss and not get orders.

"The nightmare again. The water rushed in from nowhere, from everywhere, Swallowing him in an instant." I think this memory is important because it might be something that Ruslan might never forget.

"Sarah's mother poked her head up from the hatch. Her hair was a complete mess, but her bleary eyes were clearing quickly. What's all the commotion? The boat shuddered with another jolt. Across the bay, the top half of a steep cliff broke away and tumbled in a cloud of dust. Boulders rolled off a ridge and plowed into the lower jungle. I'll e a Richter, Sarah's father said in awe. It's an earthquake, a big one. I think we'd better get out of here." I think it will change things because they were just doing their thing when, BAM!! A big earthquake happens, and instead of continuing to do what they were doing, they have to try and get safe. I think Sarah found that out first of her family.

"Mom, he sobbed Mom. I want mom. The image of her mother dead in the fishing net came into Sarah's mind."
I think the memory is important because she would remember it for a long time but it will always remember her that they were lucky to survive.

"I'm not a rebel, Ruslan said. I'm a good citizen, ask anybody. Don't worry, we will (a little later) Ruslan made a wincing face I have to go to the bathroom diarrhea. out there (a little later) Above him, he heard the sound of alarm." I think the character is doing that because he might be scared of him not going to be able to see his dad.

# data[].attributes.body
"You shouldn't let her have the coke. Coddling her when she's like this doesn't help," "Then we'll give her cat food for lunch." "Steve, that's not funny." This might change things because she might not be able to be calm while her dad is trying to talk to her because she will be hyper from the coke.

# data[].attributes.body
"Where's mom and dad?" "Mom's dead. She was caught in a fishing net." "Dead?" "It was a tsunami, you know. Tidal wave." "I don't believe you." "I just buried her, Peter." "Where?" "On the beach where I found her." "Show me." "I'm not teasing you, okay? this is not something I would of scooped sand." I think it keeps happening because it might be something he might not believe so he keeps asking why its happening.

"Sarah licked her lips dry. What was she going to do now?" It makes me wonder how her brother and her are going to get through.

# data[].attributes.body
"The wires didn't work. He picked another one. Through the windshield he could see a dozen men starting to search the hill, working their way down. Finally, on his third try, the engine turned over." I think this keeps happening because I bet he really wants to get out of there and find Sarah

# data[].attributes.body
"She shook the lighter and pulled the trigger again and again and again." I think she is trying to do it so much because she wants to go home.

# data[].attributes.body
"Sarah searched the crowd and spotted Ruslan on the side, watching her, the notebook curled in his hand. She ran over to him. She wanted to give him a hug..." I think she isn't giving him a hug because she doesn't want to be embarrassed in front of all the cameras

# data[].attributes.body
"Sarah became conscious of her dirty teeth." I think the character is doing this instead of trying to survive because it really annoyed her.

# data[].attributes.body
"He fell onto his back on the bed, thinking. How different would is life be now if his mother hadn't been killed? How different would he be as a person if he'd had a mother as well as a father?" This question makes me wonder how much not having a mother effects him.

# data[].attributes.body
"Mom, he sobbed Mom, i want Mom. The image of her mother dead in a fishing net came to Sarah's mind." This memory makes me wonder how much will this effect her in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
"Sarah became anxious, You'll help us find that doctor, wont you? She asked them I mean, what is he doesn't speak English?" This Question make's me wonder about is he doesn't speak English and Ruslan is not there to help, what would they do?

# data[].attributes.body
"Again he waited for her to recognize him-after all, how many employees in meulaboh spoke English." This memory makes me wonder about how much he really likes Sarah, will he give anything for her. That's how I think why its important

# data[].attributes.body
"What had happened to her mother and father?" This question makes me wonder how much will this effect Sarah in the future without a mom that Ruslan never had.

# data[].attributes.body
"Where's the hospital?" She shouted at Ruslan." This question makes me wonder about how sick Peter really is.

# data[].attributes.body
"What did his father say? A mans duty is first to god, and then to family, and then to those who ask for help." I think the life lesson is that to do what you promised what to do first, and then go to family next and then friends.

# data[].attributes.body
"She imaged a father running around franticly looking for his missing son. Have you seen him, have you, where is he, he must be alive, I know he's alive, I must find him!" I think this memory is important because I think that's what Ruslan's father is doing right now.

# data[].attributes.body
"A private in charge of the corpse-gathering detail told Ruslan to find a rag to cover his mouth and plastic bags to put on his hands." I think the life lesson is that you need to be able to rest and heal before you can do anything challenging or in the middle rest is the most important and I think this will effect the character because he will use it to heal and rest before he tries to go fine his dad.

# data[].attributes.body
"Ruslan realized that in his squatting position he looked like something tasty and easy to swallow." This might change things because he might get up fast and show the snake that the snake's mind that he is easy to eat is wrong, because he is much bigger than the snake.

# data[].attributes.body
"She remembered that night. She knew more to the story than Peter. Mr. Chouri was an immigrant. There were ugly rumors about him that made her parents angry." I think this memory might be important because she might find him in the future and remember that story and she will tell it to her if she forgot it.

# data[].attributes.body
"Who are you, Do you have and ID?" This memory makes me wonder about he she thinks about them, if she thinks they are trying to kidnap her.

# data[].attributes.body
"God how deep was the swamp? What if it swallowed them up? Should she get Peter on the roof of the cab?" This question makes me wonder about if she will try and save her life, or go for the boys while a little less on herself.

"Ruslan wasn't watching. He spotted a notebook and a pen in a side pouch and was sketching his father's face again. Then she remembered: Surf Cat. They'd left Surf Cat behind." I think this memory is important because i wonder if Sarah, Peter, and Ruslan will try and find Surf Cat or try and go to a place that is safer.

# data[].attributes.body
"Broke it in college. In an boxing match." I think this memory is important because she will remember that memory even if her dad was dead, just like how she will remember her mother.
