What I hope to discover after reading is why Daniel is such a sensitive person. In the text Daniel says “I think he’s about to cry, which makes no sense at all. He offers to buy me new headphones. Even if I let him, new ones couldn’t replace these.”

A question I would ask Sasha is why is it for hard for her to love.

That Daniel has a strong connection to natshia and natshia connections is not that strong yet. A moment that evokes a reaction His parents want him to do all theses things but he is not interested in doing them and I fell my parents do the same sometimes.

A moment I can personally relate to is when the girls headphones broke. I know what it feels like getting something u love broken or stolen.

The quote I liked best was “And you’re okay with believing life has no meaning? What choice do I have? This is what life is.” I liked this because many people think of negatives and learn to accept them because they think there’s no positive.

Feelings: “A moment that surprised me was when she started thinking about Daniel because I felt like she alway thought of him as just another person but her her questioning and thinking about him makes me think she might think he’s something more.”

Thoughts: “When I read about the attorney in love with his secretary and he was married I wonder how can you pronounce your love to one person but fall in love with someone else. The way Natasha thinks about love and soulmates makes me think more about it then the opposite of how I thought before.”

Thoughts-When I read this it makes me think Daniel is a people pleaser because he offered to by Natasha new head phones and this shows he cares about what people think of him

Connection- I can make a connection between Natasha and her dad because from the beginning we never knew the true reason why Natasha had resentment towards her father and now we understand why she does

A moment that makes me pause and think is how Daniel thinks Natasha and him are a match but both of them are different.

Reading response 2 : A moment l could see a connection is

When Daniel and Natasha were at the cafe

Reading response 3: what l hope to discover is why Daniel's brother got kicked out of Harvard and why his parents put a lot of pressure on him and Daniel

After reading about the interaction between Natasha and Daniel I think that eventually Natasha will start to like him

“We are having a moment I don’t want to be having”

Reading about Daniel it reminds me of his interview because when he went out to eat with Natasha he was in his suit. She questioned why he was wearing that and he said it was because he was going to an interview for something he wants to do.

A connection would be that both Natasha and Daniel are curious about each other and how differently they think.

Thoughts

When reading Natasha P.O.V on love I wonder

If this negative feeling is based on her thinking more scientifically or due to how she’s seen her parents “show love”.

Connection

A moment I can personally relate to is the aftermath of Natasha’s headphones breaking because

Like her there are things that I can never seem to get rid of because of their sentimental value to me like a old painting I did years ago it looks terrible but it represents my starting point what I can compare to my new or older paintings to see how I improved.

Quote

A quote I like best is “Human beings are not reasonable creatures. instead of being ruled by logic we are ruled by emotions”pg 56

I like this quote best because me as a person I don’t like conflict most arguments are based on conflict thinking logically would help put an end to most conflicts at least I believe so.

FEELINGS: reading about Natasha and how her and her dad used to be close but then grew apart makes me sad because me and my dad have a similar relationship and it reminds me of our relationship so it makes me sad

DIALOGUE: I would ask Sasha why she finds it hard to love but that also she’s not in the wrong for thinking/feeling that way

A connection I can make with the story is that sometimes you can’t do anything to change the past, you don’t know what going to happen to you, but just have to accept it and move on.

“Otherwise they would have to admit that is just a random series of good and bad things that happen until the day you die.”

Life is just a challenge and it always going to bring you down, but you can’t just give up.

“After all, my parents would never approve. Not only is she not Korean, she is black. There’s not future here.”

I can make a connection through this to our world today, people just judge other people by their appearances, and don’t know about their personality.

Thoughts: a moment that takes me in pause and that is because her dad may not have been there for her when she was younger

2. Quote " human beings aren't reasonable creatures instead of being ruled by logic we are ruled by emotions" this shows that us that as people we don't use logic but more we use our emotions.

3. A thought I had after reading about the love factor I'm still curious to know what Natasha will do because it's so obvious that they both like each other but she just doesn't wanna tell him

My favorite quote is the part when Natasha was talking to the operator I like the feeling of how the girl just told her everything just for her to ask Natasha to repeat the issue again I can see how it would anger some people or add suspense. A part that made me confused, I was confused on why Natasha just kept ranting on about scientific love for like. 5 straight chapters and whys she’s so serious about it

Dialogue: When Natasha thinks about love she thinks nothing last forever this proves Natasha doesn’t believe in love

The quote I liked best was “you don’t want my life” Natasha this was a new characteristic for Natasha, does she not like herself?
