Four categories of cues causing people to fall into a habitual reaction (what might be thought of as a "zombie" response mode) time
how you feel
reaction (either to other people or to something that just happened)
location

Four categories of cues causing people to fall into a habitual reaction (what might be thought of as a "zombie" response mode) are:

- a time of day

- reactions to other people

- an emotional state or how you feel

- an immediately preceding action, that is something that just happened

- a location

Explanation:

The cues are triggers causing people to fall into a habitual reaction, in other words, they are the “stimuli that launch brain into a pre-programmed "zombie mode", also known as  a "habit". The brain simply follows this specific cue, which could be in any of these cue´s classification: an specific time or hour of a day, specific reactions to other people in regards, an emotional state or the way you feel, an immediately preceding action, that is something that just happened, or an specific location. A cue of these kind acts as a powerful reminder, and gets you engaged in a determined unconscious behavior or response that can vary in length.

The cues are considered as the chunking elements that help connect the neural pattern with the automation of a frecuently practiced activity, what we call a "habit" or zombie mode".

Although habits or zombie mode is an energy saver for us, sometimes the cues prompted negative responses that lead people to negative or painful results, in that case, it will be necessary to overcome them or harness your zombie, overriding parts of them and develop a few new ones, changing your reaction to a cue, once you aknowledge what category it falls into, which sometimes is not that obvious.

1. this would be first person. it would be like "i walked home from school today" they are the narrator of the story and is a character as well.

2. first person because they used the word "i" in the quote.

3. i'm really not sure about this one i'm really sorry i never read it so i wouldn't know how to answer it. 

4. it would be character vs. society because everyone he meets there is always a conflict of some sort because he's stuck in his daydream.

5. it would be sadness at the loss of youth because the title itself tells us it's about age so it couldn't be about regret. and the tone just sounds sad, not angry. 

i hope this !
