SAT Essay-

"It is often interesting, in retrospect, to consider the trifling causes that lead to great events. A chance encounter, a thoughtless remark- and the torturous chain reaction of coincidence is set in motion, leading with devious inevitability to some resounding climax."
-Patricia Moyes, Down Among the Dead Men
