Roelof, I don't think CRC cards or the GRASP patterns or anything like that addresses your immediate needs. Based on other questions of yours it seems to me that your problem is not *organising* the responsibilities in an OO program, but decomposing a problem into responsibilities in the first place. I think this is perhaps the most important part of programming, and the hardest to learn, not least because very few of us are good at teaching it. We're not very good at teaching it in mathematics either. I do not think your issues are anything to do with Pharo, Smalltalk, OOP, or programming as such.
One symptom of the general problem that I've noticed is that I see code as a very fluid sort of thing where pieces can be moved around and recombined, while many people think of code as something solid and rather brittle.
I was thinking of writing up a short description of what I was thinking for a RosettaCode example anyway. Would that help?
Thank you, Richard. I appreciate your offering this. I am not a teacher, so your help is truly appreciated!

Hello,
I like Pharo a lot but I hit a wall very often. With complex problems I do not see how to solve things in small steps.
Is there somewhere who is willing to mentor me in how I can overcome that problem.
