2. Advice I would give to a five-year-old growing up in today's society most likely would be that it's pretty difficult to fit in and that people may not like the fact that you may be different from others, and some people don't like that. I would advise them to live life to the fullest, they may not know what that even means yet, but they'll learn. School for a five-year-old is not the greatest place to be but atleast every one's nice. That changes. in a few years no one will be nice except for the friends you've managed to scrape up in the past few years. not everyone likes each other anymore, and girls have cooties, and boys are gross. But that all ends too. Life is great, and even thought you get advice, and remember it, that doesn't always mean you'll follow it.
3. Pieces of literature that have lasted so long may have done so by being so touching, or the first ones like them. Or maybe they just wanted to save one and see if people generations from now would still want to read what they thought was good literature when they grow up or are growing up. reading old tales and novels about things we haven't experienced

Number One Set
1. A writer's reading is crucial to his or her writing because no matter what you try to write about, another peice you read may give you inspiration into creating another work. It may also reach out to the reader like a peice he was thinking about wtiting, and has withheld his peice because he thinks no one would be interested in reading a peice of that topic. Now he has learned that works like that have been published, and people do read them. Books may also create another world for a writer to enter that is not their own, and that they can indulge into it while thinking of their own works.
2. A concern of mine is the lack of responsibility of teens wo think their life is all made out for them and nothing can go wrong. Like the kids that have gotten flagged for their facebook's. It's indescribably pathetic that kids can think their invincible and nothing bad can ever happen to them.
It's a sad feeling knowing my peers are out their doing random things, dangerous things to make themselves feel worthwhile. Once you make a mistake that could change your life, you realize what can go wrong, and from then on you want to fix it. The problem is that kids now a days think they can do anything without consequence. That's not true. Every action has a reaction. There's conflict in everything you do and say.
3. Honestly. No art has inspired me or meant anything to me. It's always something relevant that makes me think or do something a certain way. Art doesn't inspire, I don't think. Life inspires art. Some may disagree with me, but no one can change how i think about it. I don't think that it's necessarily the work of art that inspires you, but the thought and the emotion the other person put into it, and the feelings they've expressed while doing so.
