The two lines in the poem that indicate its theme in

The life of tennagers like Albert, Emily, Michael and Gunter, was one of the tipical life of a teenager where they had the chance to live a simple life and a very active one. They used to help in many house work and to respect more the decisions of their parents. They had their time to play but many of the things they did had to do with playing innocent and sometimes were accompanied with antics and naughtiness. Todays teenagers are more independent from their house chores and their parents. Remember that before world war, many of the teenagers were enroled in activities related to that war so they received better discipline that those from this epoch. The similarities can be a few, some of them could be sumarized in the fact that teenagers, even independent, were not used to go from home until they were grown ups or adults
Answer:
Rody is responsible for his acts.
Explanation:
Rody is responsible for his acts. He knows the consequences of drinking, but he does it anyway. He might do it due to a lack of self-control or because he considers that the benefits are more than the consequences. We can see that he is capable of thinking, making decisions, and aware of the outcomes that it could bring, so the responsibility of making the right decisions like drinking another beverage or not drinking at all are on him.
In this case, as he decides to drink liquor, which leads to drinking it in excess and misbehave, we can see that he was not responsible for his decisions.
