I expect that all of my texts will share similar approaches as characters deal with emotion after loss.

Popular people, especially adolescents, are likeable, admired or caring (Lightfoot, Cole & Cole, 2013, 481). They are often the ones that others look up to or want to be like. These types of leaders do not coerce others to follow them, but inspire their peers to join them in particular behaviors.

This is just one philosophical point made by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. in his book “ Slaughterhouse-5”.
