In my section of the book, The First Stone, there are these two characters that seem sort of alike in a way because they both lost someone so important to them and yet different because one takes all of his anger out and another rarely shows her anger. The setting of my most memorable moment happens on a highway at night where Reef was on top of a highway and Leeza was driving away. Reef was running away from someone and Leeza was driving home. At first Leeza thought it was someone who was waving to her from the overpass, but unfortunately it wasn’t. Reef had thrown a stone that had hit Leeza’s windshield. That moment was the most memorable moment in my part because that’s what the reason for the book to continue was. It depicted what Reef would do, and where Leeza would end up. This moment was the most thrilling in my part and it was the only moment with both of them in it.
I liked how the author kept going back and forth with the two characters, Leeza and Reef. Especially right before Reef threw the stone. The story went from Leeza on the highway to Reef running away, then to Leeza still on the highway to Reef on the overpass, etc.
This moment also relates to real life because every day there are people who make silly mistakes and do things that can really change someone’s life such as drinking and driving, and in this case, throwing a stone onto a busy highway. Those people don’t know how it affects the other person’s life. Our school has a group about that sort of stuff, OSAID. I remember one story from OSAID about a pregnant lady; she was texting while driving and a car came out of nowhere and killed her and her baby. Your life could be gone within seconds, but luckily for Leeza she wasn’t killed.
