Second Blog Prompt

Hey EOF class! I hope you are all well. Here is your second blog prompt. Keep in mind a few things:
#1- you must write a minimum of 5-6 sentences.
#2--you must post your response to the prompt on your own blog page!
#3--think for a few minutes before you respond. After writing your response, re-read it before you post it just to be sure it makes sense.


Here is the Prompt. It is a two-part question; answer both parts of the prompt:


Part I:
On page 7, the first chapter starts out with a quote.
"When it is dark enough, you can see the stars"-- Persian Proverb.
What do you think this proverb means?
Consider how it might relate to the content in the chapter.


Part II:
Consider the title of the chapter, "Failure."
On the final page of the chapter, page 16, it says: "It was his body that had failed, he decided, not his spirit, and every body had its limits. He for the first time in his life, had found the absolute limit of his."

What does failure mean to you in your life? How does failure come into play in this chapter?
