a) Paragraph of Text-to-Text/Self/World Connection

While reading this story, I thought of my own experience with my brother when I was 13 years old. We were discussing about who should watch TV first and ended up to fight with each other. Because he hit me first, I got really mad and told my mom that he is not behaving well and should get punished. Hearing my complain, my mom in turn shouted at me that because I am the oldest in the family, I should not behave like a child. My mom's action even made my anger to rise up and I went to my room and didn't come out for a while. After 2 hours later, my brother knocked on my door and asked me how to upload his homework in the class website. Because he was too young to know the way to use Wiki, he was so scared and wanted me to help him. In addition, it was the first year when he transferred from Korean school to KIS ( International school). He was crying, bambing on my door, saying that he should upload it by 10:pm. Even though I felt bad and wanted him to help, I ignored his wish which ended up giving my brother a bad grade. While reading the part where Okonkwo feels guilty and regrets about his precious person's death, Ikemefuna, I learned that I should be nice to my belongings and people who are precious to me.
