Coming of AGE
When I hear "coming of age" I think of how someone became of age by completing a task or learning a lesson that will influence your opinion or how you think about something forever. Coming of age is a change or more mature way of thinking of things. Like when Leo from Stargirl changes his opinion of Stargirl when he gets to know her. At first they think she is a weird girl who likes to dance and act out. But really she is a nice, and friendly girl who doesn't judge people. Leo in the story finds out more about her and becomes friends with her.
I think that a realistic task to become of age is like a survival lesson like Hatchet. It can also be something like standing up to a bully or being friends with the new student at school. It can also be the role model for the younger students or being nice to your piers. It is fun to be involved in school but you dont need to act out and get attention to do so. I think coming of age is also treating people fair and making sure that they understand everything that they are suposed to. Coming of age might not be a individual task either. It could also be teamwork like for example, the military. Also it would be mature to find a task and do it yourself instead of expecting others to do it for you or doing it without being told. My brother is an example of coming of age because he has been imature for a while but he is doing helpful things that I have not even thought of doing. I am no golden person either, apparently I help out a lot also.
