The Last Song

The book that i'm reading is The Last Song. Right now, I am at the part where Ronnie and her brother Jonah, arrived at their father's house and are getting ready to go the the carnival. My essential question is "How do others decisions impact others?" In the book, Ronnie and Jonah's parents' decision made the biggest impact on them. For one, their decision to make them stay with their father the whole summer made Ronnie act out the way she did. It made her be very rude and rebel against everything her father said, or wanted to do. For example, "All right. how about this? I'm not going to play the piano for you." She said this because she knows that her father wants her to play the piano because she has such a talent for it. But when her father left she vowed she would never touch anther piano again.
