"How strange and changeful is life! How small a thing is needed to make or ruin us!” 

Whats the biggest lesson we learn as human beings, and reading this passage? What do humans do a lot of?

MY ANSWER: The  biggest lesson here is do not take life and what it gives you for granted. Humans become too focused on materialistic objects and take their well lived life for granted. Understand, that any small hinderance in ones life can mess it all up, and set a life well-lived from before, a now life in dread due to the amount of mistakes one has made for taking for granted many things in life that shouldn't be

B. She realizes that every person is different, and each guy had different personalities that did not match well with her.

C. Both of these

C. Both of these

Love doesn't always come to someone right away. There are a lot of people out there, and one must Live through these complicated times to figure out who they are, and they also must realize that each person is different. Each person will have their own personality. It's just a matter of finding someone who shares a lot of common interests with you.

Interpret how this quote has to do with living and learning with regards to The Outsiders

"You don't just stop living because you lose someone... You don't quit."

Just as Darry said to Ponyboy, you cannot stop living due to a tragedy that happens. One must mourn and move on, from that casualty as hard as it may seem. Furthermore, one must take it as life itself, and a life well lived by another human who has passed on to the eternal god.

True or False:
The Necklace mainly focuses on how some people put more attention towards materialistic objects, and yet loose focus on life and what they have in present.

True. 

In the end, we learn that the main character has learned that she now has witnessed a tragedy in her life, and has to accept the harsh reality of her life now to come since she has focused materialistic objects rather than what should mean most to her in life (Her husband, and her love she should have for HIM).

The following quote from The Outsiders has to do with what aspect of living or learning? Why?

"You still have a lot of time to make yourself be what you want. There's still a lot of good in the world." SE Hinton.

Briefly Interpret this quote with regards to how it can relate to being human is to live and learn.

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

"Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be."

I will accept answers within range to mine depending on correctness, and amount of accuracy.

MY answer: Suffering, or taking mistakes in life may be harder than an actual teaching of something like a mistake that was made since one must live through these mistakes and face the consequence, and have GREATER expectations to their next endeavors in life.

Half credit may be possible for this question depending on circumstances.
