The document discusses the song "Only the Young" by Brandon Flowers and compares it to themes in the novel "Connection" by Noboru. Specifically, the song lyrics about how "Only the young can break away" are connected to a quote in the novel about how adults cannot accomplish what the youth can and how the youth are the only ones who can remove the "seal of impossibility". The document also lists some literary devices used in "Connection" such as foreshadowing and tone.
