The prompt,"That there are no random acts. That we are all connected," to me, means that every decision and action you make or do somehow affects someone's life. It can be a big or little affect. It can be good or bad. The affect can also be life-changing. Every life is connected by the decisions of the people in those lives.
A connection is shown by Eddie in the book when he chased the baseball into the street and the Blue Man killed himself trying to avoid him. The Blue Man's decision, even though it was a natural reaction, saved Eddie's life. His decision showed the connection. His action had a good effect for Eddie but the bad effect was towards himself. The prompt teaches us to carefully choose our actions and decisions after we realize the consequences. Even in split-second moments we should think about who would be affected by our decision, and how would it affect them.
