At the beginning of the novel, Johnny is very much a boy. He is arrogant, childish, and only thinks of himself. By the end of the novel he has become a man. Therefore, this week’s question has to do with adulthood: At what point does a person become a man (or a woman)? In some traditions there is a particular age when you are considered “grown-up”: in the Jewish tradition that age is 13. In the U.S., you are legally an adult when you turn 18. What do you think the measure of an adult should be? How do you know when you’ve crossed into adulthood?

When being an adult you should have a job, and at least have your driving permit. Being an adult is a responsibility, you should be about 15 or 16 years old.

I Think one is adult when they are responsible and act like a adult. If you if you have your life under control and you're not always depending on somebody else.

In some traditions you become an adult at 13. But I think you become an adult when you act like it, but really 15 or 16 you become an adult, because that's when you get a job.

Getting a job would be the start of becoming a man or a woman. I think that when you turn 18 you really become a grown up since you move out.

I think you act like an adult when you learn to hold certain responsibilites and when you act like it. And when you can admit things you have done.

Some say if you go on the cranium shaker, others say the first time you play Risk. But I say when people turn 21 because that's when you can drink and there is a bunch of other stuff but this is the year when people become adults.

I think that you really become an adult when you know firmly who you are in life. Being an adult requires a person to know where they are going and what they want to do as an anchor during hard times. A true sign of someone who is mature is when they are self- intelligent and aware of both their strengths and imperfections. The exact age really depends on who that person is, and sometimes it can take awhile to find your way. If someone knows who they are, it will show in their words and actions. Comments are closed.
