The Sun is Also a Star Chapter 78: Natasha Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • Natasha accurately assesses that Daniel isn't thinking about her and how she must be feeling right now. 
  • She tells him if he thinks it's so easy to tell the truth, he should just tell his parents he doesn't want to be a doctor. 
  • She thinks he's looking for somebody to save him, and she quotes a poem by Warsan Shire about why people shouldn't try to "make a home out of human beings" (196-197). 
  • NOTE: This poem, ironically, is titled "For Women Who Are Difficult To Love." 
  • She tells Daniel to save himself.
