Answer 1

Answer:

author explains how she learnt about life's uncertainty and how things can change easily.

Explanation:

In the "Early Dismissal" by Robin Wasserman, the author explains how she learnt about life's uncertainty and how things change easily at a very young age. She tells about how her innocence had blindfolded her about people's commitment and friendship.

Being a shy and passive person, the author says that she always treasured that one best friend she had during childhood. The author compares herself with Anne from 'Anne of the Green Cables', a fictional character who treasures bonds, friendships and partnerships wholeheartedly.

So when she finds out that her best friend doesn't regard her the same way like she does, her whole fascination and imagination of 'kindred spirits' shatters and gets broken. She then compares this experience of how grown-ups deal with life and how things can change anytime.

However, in the end, the author adds that she still believes in the idea of forever. Giving the readers a sense of how she is still innocent deep down inside.
