The Sun is Also a Star Chapter 36: Daniel Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • Natasha asks Daniel why he's wearing a suit, and they talk about his Yale interview. He doesn't really want to go to Yale, but his parents want him to. 
  • They're first-generation Korean immigrants, so he does what they say. He doesn't really know what he wants. 
  • This admission doesn't go over well with Natasha, who (of course) has done her research and knows she wants to be a data scientist. 
  • She's not passionate about it, but she knows it would fit her personality. 
  • Daniel says your whole life is a long time to do something you don't really care about, and Natasha counters that it's an even longer time to chase unrealistic dreams. 
  • Daniel says she sounds like his father and gives a passionate speech about the amazing things humans have achieved. He sees no reason to settle. 
  • They look at each other and he feels certain they're meant to be. He thinks Natasha's going to hold his hand but she keeps walking.
