Maturity can be realized by some people after a significant event has taken place in their life. These events lead to a greater understanding of maturity and ultimately becoming more mature. There are examples of this in the novel “Hey Nostradamus” and in the movie “Step Brothers.”
In the novel “Hey Nostradamus” written by Douglas Coupland, the main character Jason is forced to go through a high school massacre carried out by three gun men. His fiancée Cheryl whom he married earlier in Las Vegas, is one of the victims in the shootings. Jason however is lucky and did not get shot, instead he lead and uprising against the gunmen throwing a rock at a shooter and killing him. The maturity obtained by Jason through this horrible event would stick with him for the rest of his life. His bravery and leadership saved many students lives.
Secondly in the movie “Step Brothers” two full grown men are forced to move in with each other after their parents start dating each other and get married. Both the unemployed men are forced to find jobs within a week or get kicked out of the house. They both fail to find jobs and the tension grows in the house causing both the parents to divorce. Both the families go their separate ways and one of the sons Dale starts to work for his brother’s helicopter company. Dale is still upset about the family breaking up so he takes initiative to organize a company event that he hopes reunites the family. The event works and the parents get back together. The event of the two men’s families moving in together ultimately cause a series of events that would make the men finally become mature individuals.
