What is initially attracting you to this quote / these quotes? Try to really think and explain yourself.

- This quote attracted me because

- This quote attracted me because of how it only took one person to change someones life,
this quote reminded me of change and how just one person could just change the way
you’ve done things, and change everything you do, but what makes me think is, is that a
good thing or a bad thing.

What do you notice about how the author is using language? What makes the language interesting?
What techniques are being used, and how are they affecting you?

The way the author tells the story indirectly makes the story more interesting because it
makes you carefully read the story so you can better understand. The authors in both stories,
create intriguing and complex characters, evokes strong emotions which pushes me more to
understanding the moral of the story.
What part of you is being triggered by this moment/these moments? Is it something from your past?
Is it a relationship in your life? Is it a strong belief or conviction? If so, where does that
belief/conviction come from? Is the moment(s) attracting you? Repelling you? Something else?

This quote makes me think about change in general and how one person could just change your life,
sometimes it could be interpreted negatively or positively. This reminds of how people want to
change their physical appearances because they think they aren’t pretty or they aren’t as good as
the other people. People have mostly changed through social Media and how people want to
change their lifestyle and make look like someone’s ‘perfect’ lifestyle

going to make them care? Why should they care at all?
