Think about a moment when your understanding of your family changed as you got older. How did that shift impact your perspective, and how does that connect to Chris’s realization about his parents in Chapter 11?

 As I've gotten older I realized that my parents main concern is for my safety. When I was younger I used to think they where out to get me because they where very intrusive into my life. As I've gotten older this fact has not changed but over this period of time I now understand why they do this. For these reasons I can sympathize with Chris's yearning for freedom.  Today we did some paper assignments to go with our reading of chapter 11. These papers will deepen my understanding of chapter and its meaning.
