Answer:
Children need to know when to obey their parents, guardians, and elders until they know right from wrong. However, obedience becomes dangerous when it is blind, or when the child forgets to think for himself/herself. Conformity is when a child follows rules and regulations, but obedience is when they are told exactly what to do.
They have more access to information to confirm or deny facts than they did in the past.
A: The book “the fault in our stars” made me look introspectively, and connect the character’s lives to my own. The character’s struggles with mortality and living life to the fullest made me reflect on my life and wonder if I am truly appreciating it and experiencing all life has to offer. I also made the connection between the author’s inability to answer Hazel’s questions about the book, and how there were no answers for the problems in Hazel’s life. She was frustrated that there was seemingly no reasoning behind the author’s writing, just like there was no reason she had cancer, or that she was in this situation. Her anger towards the author symbolized a deeper anger that she would never truly “have answers” and that her life would never truly be fulfilled because she was going to die at such a young age.
I didn’t exactly know if you meant meaningful connections within the story or meaningful connections to your person life but I hope this helped!
