Answer:

Parasocial relationship.

Explanation:

This term was invented by Donald Horton and Richard Wohl in 1956. Parasocial relationships are one-sided relationships, where one person extends emotional energy, interest and time, and the other party is completely unaware of the other’s existence.

Parasocial relationships are most common with celebrities or television stars (such as, in this case, the actress of Shireen Baratheon).

We can see that Samantha is experimenting this parasocial relationship given that she won't go out to see the TV show and felt devastated when the character she likes died, causing her insomnia for a month.

How does the phrase “like a lamb to the slaughter” apply to August Pullman?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Oh, I loved the book Wonder!

“Like a lamb to the slaughter” refers to Auggie having been home-schooled by his parents in an effort to protect him from the taunts and bullying that comes with having a terrible facial deformity. But Auggie's Mum decides it's time for him to taste the real world. But his Dad refers to the sentence « Like a lamb to the slaughter ». Meaning they’ll be putting August in danger, or in a dangerous and different environment.

In other words: “Like a lamb to the slaughter” refers to Auggie having been home-schooled by his parents in an effort to protect him from the taunts and bullying that comes with having a terrible facial deformity.

Explanation:

I hope you like the book as much as me!
