Chopin’s life that sounds similar to my life was when I come to realize serious matters. For example, my twin brother Andrew has a heart condition. A couple of years ago, we had to do Christmas early because my brother had to have surgery. On the first day, we took my brother to the hospital and the whole time I was on my phone. My brother had to spend the night, and we went to our hotel. The next day, I saw my brother in his hospital clothes, but all I was thinking was that I could get my belly button pierced while I was there. Then, later on that day, I was fussing at my mom because my brother was getting on my nerves. Then she said “Alyssa! Shut up, your brother could die!”. I never thought about my brother and the situation he was in. What my mom was said was negative, but it was the truth. Chopin’s writing is based on reality, and maybe when her father died that helped her come to reality. This situation made me start thinking realistically and take it more serious.
