Dear Mr. Korman, 

 

Your book Restart is fascinating. It’s so interesting how Chase Ambrose starts as a bully and loses his memory. It gave me such a laugh how Shoshanna poured frozen yogurt on Chase's head. And I love the nickname Alpha Rat. I got so inspired that I wrote a poem.

 

When Memory Goes! 

By: Zohair 

Who am I?

At least i’m still here

How am I alive?

But with quiet tears. 

 

Did I fall into a coma?

I think I have memory loss.

I’m getting claustrophobia.

Cause I feel like my head is being tossed.

 

Maybe I just need to rest.

I may have amnesia.

This memory thing is definitely a threat.

Do I even like pizza?

 

Was I a good person?

I am confused.

I think we need a nurse in.

I guess we'll see, but at least I'm not badly bruised.

 

I have a new life now.

But was my old one better?

Uh i’ll never know, wow (read in a sarcastic way)

I just got a letter.

Soon my memory’s should come back to me! 

 

Let us remember: Don’t let the suffering of amnesia make us forget who we truly are.

 

Inspired by Gordan Korman’s Restart.

 

Hope you like it.

I like it very much, Zohair! You have quite a knack for expressing yourself. And, actually, it poses another question, and that is:

Who was always the real Chase Ambrose, the new boy or the old one?

Thanks for this!                                                                                                -----Gordon Korman-----
