I think astra was a kindred spirit with oma,  and now astra doesn’t know what to do because oma is gone, so she asked her friends but, they don’t actually know how astra feels.
she also seems to need a lot of advice, and maybe she should make some of her own decisions and that’s why she feels like she doesn’t fit in because she isn’t doing what SHE wants to do, only what other people want her to do, so I think if she made her own decisions, others on the ship would really like her.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Astra has low self-esteem. She doesn’t view herself as someone of worth. She thinks she is a burden because she is her own person. The people of the ship see that she is unique and special. But nut as a burden or someone not of worth. She’s just a little different than the rest and that is OK. The ship doesn’t see her as a burden or someone not if worth. She is just unique and that is what Astra needs to learn. If she is to help save the ship or not she needs to view herself like her Oma saw her.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the relationship between Oma and Astra is very strong because Astra often thinks about things that Oma used to tell her. Also, Astra even wants to time travel so that she can see Oma again. Astra loves her grandmother and has so many memories with her.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Astra sees herself as a person who just loves to read and really wants her Oma back. I think that she also think that she is problematic. Others see as a really shy person who wants to just be alone and read

# data[].attributes.body
I can infer that Astra  and Oma’s relationship was really special. Oma was Astra’s grandmother and her comfort system. I can tell that astra felt that oma was really the only one who understood her. My evidence for this are the little snippets of conversation between astra and oma. They are always special and it always shows oma giving astra advice or comforting her. For example: “she stroked my head like I was one of her plants” this shows love, and now that oma is gone astra feels like she has no comfort or love.Astra could not think of a world without her Oma.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Astra sees herself as kind of worthless. She thinks she does not fit in, and she has really low self esteem. Others, however, think of  Astra as a really smart person, who is hyper-intelligent. Despite others opinions about her, Astra is still a insecure person who has low self-esteem.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Astra and Oma’s relationship is strong because the only time Astra didn’t want to read was when she was with Oma. Now that Oma is gone the only thing she wants to do is to stay by herself and read. She also wants to find a way to travel back in time and see Oma again.

# data[].attributes.body
I think astra sees herself with a low sense of Steam and does not realize all Of the good things there are in her.  She does not think she’s enough or she sees herself as a lonely girl when she can be much more.

# data[].attributes.body
Astra and Oma’s relationship is really special because they have a really strong connection. In the story, Astra was thinking of a life without Oma and she couldn’t imagine a life without Oma and she would really miss Oma. And Astra feels like Oma is the only one who really understands her and loves her more than anyone else.

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t think Astra really thinks very highly of herself so this pulls her down and makes her just want to sit in bed and read.
On the ship she is special. She is smart and is worthy. Could she save the ship. Rio even told her that he thinks that she is the smartest person on the ship.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Astra and Oma had a very strong relationship with each other. They shared som same beliefs.

# data[].attributes.body
I think their relationship is really strong because she thinks about her Oma all the time. Astra doesn’t know what to do without Oma. Astra felt good around Oma because Oma likes Astra for who she is and she doesn’t want her to be someone she is not.

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t think Astra thinks very good about herself she locks her in her room and reads all day it also seems like she doesn’t have lots of friends.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Astra has very low sense of steam and she feels different than everyone else and thinks she will just mess up and she doesn’t know what to do. She doesn’t think that she is good. She thinks she’s kind of worthless.

# data[].attributes.body
Astra and Oma’s relationship was really deep and special and it meant a lot to Astra.

# data[].attributes.body
It seems like Astra and Oma had a very strong relationship. I think this is because they understand each other and because they only have each other. Astra is very hard to understand, but Oma understood her. I think Astra is an only child. Oma was her best friend.

# data[].attributes.body
Astra feels lost now that Oma is gone. Astra kind of lost her sense of self-worth when her grandmother died. Without Oma’s faith in her, Astra grew insecure.

# data[].attributes.body
The relationship between astra and Oma is amazing. It is inseparable.. it is unbeatable and very close

# data[].attributes.body
I think Astra thinks of her self like she’s worthless. And doesn’t belong on the ship. But what other people see is different. They see a smart and hardworking. But even when people tell her this she still has a different opinion about her self.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the relationship between Astra and Oma is really strong. Astra talks about Oma all the time and relates her to her hero. I think this is because they understand each other. No one really understands Astra on the ship. So when Oma does it’s a pretty big relationship.

# data[].attributes.body
Astra has very low self Confidence, and sees herself as worthless. And try’s not to socialize a lot and locks herself in her room and read for most of the time

If I had the ability to send a message to myself at a younger age, I would say that no matter what people tell you, always trust your own instincts and don’t be afraid to stray from the crowd. I would also tell myself to not argue with my siblings and never give up, even if it’s really hard not to.

I can infer that Astra and Oma’s
relationship  was a really special one. Astra and Oma really loved each other, and Astra was really sad when Oma died. Oma was also a teacher and mentor for Astra-she helped Astra realize who she really was, and that she didn’t have to be like anyone else. Oma and Astra had a really special bond.

# data[].attributes.body
Because her eyes and the sky keep on getting repeated

# data[].attributes.body
Because it relates to her eyes the scarf the earrings, her eyes. THE FLOWERS because it represents the relationship between her and Oma.

# data[].attributes.body
I would tell myself to be myself and be happy with who I am and just be positive about everything.

One theme I noticed was that you shouldn’t always follow your instincts, sometimes you should follow your heart too. Because Astra’s instincts were telling her not to destroy the ag module, but something in her heart was telling her to destroy it, and her heart was right.

# data[].attributes.body
In life you should trust your instincts.  Trusting your instincts will get you a very far way and you will usually be right.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that one lesson Astra learned is this: listen to your instincts and your heart. Another theme could be this: Don’t be afraid to stand out. Both of these themes relate to Astra because in the beginning of the story, Astra did not really listen to her gut, and was uncertain about following her instincts. She was also insecure about herself as a person, and didn’t like who she was. But, by the end, Astra learned to follow her instincts and love who she was based on the action and choices she had done!

It was hard for her to make the decision too burn all the plants.

# data[].attributes.body
A life lesson that Astra learned was do what you think is best because she did what her gut told her to do and she saved her life and everyone else’s on the ship.

# data[].attributes.body
I would tell myself to not be a goalie... it will be boring and you will hate it. You can grow with your skills

# data[].attributes.body
A life lesson that Astra learned is trust your instincts. Evidence for this is when Rio said that nothing is wrong with the ag module, but she still decided to destroy the whole ag module.

# data[].attributes.body
A theme that comes out in the message is that you should always trust your instincts. This is true because Astra got a message to destroy the ag module. Everyone else didn’t thing that she should, but see did anyway and saved the whole ship because there was a parasite in one of the plants that would kill all the others plants if it was planted in Ruben 23 b.

# data[].attributes.body
A life lesson I found is don doubt yourself.... Astra doubted herself and though she wasn’t the smartest on the ship.. but she was the smartest. She killed a terrible parasite that would kill all the plants and her family and friends

# data[].attributes.body
I think a important lesson is that you should always trust your gut and don’t listen to others if you know what’s right.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the theme is always trust your instincts while this is hard to do it is usually the right way to go

# data[].attributes.body
If I could send myself a message I would want my older self to give me one peice of advice that could help me a lot in life and could get me very far way.

# data[].attributes.body
If I could send my baby self a message I would tell myself to not let other kids boss me around or tell me rude things but t9 do what I want to do, and always be kind to everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
One theme that I thought really shined throughout this story was; in life you have to be true to yourself, and go with your heart, dont let others influence your decisions if you know it’s the right one. Astra was contemplating whether or not she should actually destroy it because rio told her not to. However destroying it turned out to be the best decision.

If o could tell my former self any thing it would be don’t take anything for granted. Enjoy what you have not what you want.

If I could message myself I would tell myself something important a big mistake that I made and how to get around that

# data[].attributes.body
If I had the ability to tell my past self something, it would be this: don’t stress out to much over little things, or don’t make a mountain out of a molehill. This is a great thing for me to tell myself, because I stress out to much about grades and homework.

# data[].attributes.body
I would tell myself about the Coronavirus and to warn everyone about it. Tell everyone to stay home and to buy hand sanitizer. 😷😷😷

# data[].attributes.body
Once when I was little, Me and my sister were playing outside with our favorite toy, but a little girl snatched it from us and stole it! So I would go back and tell me and my sister not to take our favorite toy outside.

Some themes are truth is never simple, but always right and always listen to yourself, even if you doubt yourself.

# data[].attributes.body
Tell everyone to stay home from the start of March to when the global pandemic ends. Trust me, there is going to be a global pandemic.

# data[].attributes.body
A theme conveyed in “The Message” is to be yourself and always trust your instincts and don’t always go with the crowd.

# data[].attributes.body
If I could go back to the past I would tell myself that it is ok to be different and be unique. I wish that I learned this message earlier in life and feel I would benefit from myself telling it to myself if that makes sense. I would also tell myself to not stress to much and just live. I want to tell myself that I need to spend more time with my family off screens and value it.

# data[].attributes.body
Last summer, I went to the British Museum and I didn’t really pay attention or enjoy the artifacts. I would tell myself the importance of everything there and to enjoy the artifacts, not just the gift shop.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that one important lesson is that even though what you wish you were capable to do seems impossible in the moment you have to look deep into the symbols, and believe.
Also another lesson is decisions are never going to be easy but at some point you have to choose a side, one is good and one is bad, it’s your choice what to choose

# data[].attributes.body
I would go into the past and tell myself always practice soccer.
