Difference of Opinion
Differences of opinions can cause many conflicts, and to a certain extent, can be a cause of war. When two people who believe in something so strongly, and what they believe in conflicts with one another, the outcome can be blown way out of proportion. In “Texas vs. Johnson,” “What, of a Goldfish, Would you Wish?,” and My So-Called Enemy, the main conflict throughout the literary pieces is just a difference of opinion. “Texas vs. Johnson” has a difference of opinion, that is brought all the way to the supreme court. In “What of a Goldfish Would you Wish” a man is driven to live by himself because he is so against this other culture. In My So Called Enemy the girls are forced to stay together, and they are always arguing and hate each other due to their difference of religion. All three of these stories have the theme of conflict caused by the difference n or lack of acceptance of cultural backgrounds.

She wants so badly to ignore the difference of their cultures, but she can’t. In one scene, one of the girls was arguing that it wasn’t her that planted a bomb in their hometown. Just because she is in that culture does not mean she has the same views as the people planting bombs, and starting riots. These girls try so hard to let the past stay in the past, but despite their efforts they are unable to, no matter how many trust exercises, or deep talks they
