To live outside of the norm you need to do a ton of self reflection or what I did was fantasies to be someone else like frankie. I have realized in “Famous writes I have know,” that living outside of the norm you enjoy life even more than being stuck in a nine to five job. It is just way more enjoyable and satisfying to live a life of not caring about anything. and I tell you when I read this book I realized that you just need to stop caring about fitting into society's little box. That is truly the only way to enjoy the life that you were given. That is the only way you will ever live a stress less life and love more. I say live outside of the norm and your life will change. Before I read this book all I knew was to find a career and start

    Normtic Compare Contrast

    There are many benefits when it comes to intermittent compression devices particularly the one named Normatec. One specific benefit that is always mentioned is that this device is extremely portable. An athlete can take this device anywhere that he or she desires because of the rechargeable batteries. This is a phenomenal tool to have for an athletic trainer and a massage therapist because many of them will not have the chance to get their hands on every athlete for a massage due to the timing issues. This will also allow athletes to receive that massage type feel within the comfort of their own home and being able to spend more time with their families instead of spending so much time in the athletic training room.…

    Fahrenheit 451 Individuality Quotes

    A plethorabig percentage of people in the world follow the road most traveled and do not deviate from that path. They try so hard to “fit in,” and be like everybody else. For example, when a brand of shoe is trending, like Nike, everyone buys Nike shoes so they are “accepted” in the public eye. Another example is when people take pictures of their food and post it on social media for “likes.” These examples of uniformity happen everyday in our society, and eventually people start to look, act, think, and talk alike.…

    Stand Out In Finding Forrester

    Dr. Seuss once said, “Why fit in when you were born to stand out?” Many people seem to know this quote, or have at least heard of it. Most of them even agree wholeheartedly with it. Why is it then, that we still feel the need to fit in? When watching Finding Forrester, the theme of struggling to fit in and the reality of how hard it can be when you stand out, become the most apparent to me.…

    Cuckoo's Nest Conformity

    Society demands the conformity of its members, so that no one person is different than any other… at least in the novel, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” by Ken Kesey. This novel presents the main antagonist as the Big Nurse, or Nurse Ratched, who runs the mental asylum as tight as she ran her old position in the army. However, one reader questions how much of a villain Nurse Ratched really is by proposing, “Nurse Ratched is not the true villain of the novel. She is instead a symbol of society’s desire to subjugate individuals to conformity”. The narrator of the book, Chief Bromden, refers to society as the Combine that processes people until all sense of individuality is gone.…

    Ralph Waldo's View On Self Identity

    We just need the time and patience to discover our self-identity. We need to recall the boldness of youth and conquer the resistance against ourselves. To be brave enough to stray away form the norm is to be misunderstood by the bell curve of society. The vast majority may find it strange and distasteful but it is only because the vast majority is too timid to tear away from the support. One may feel apprehensive and uncomfortable to move along an unconventional path, just like how Waldo must not certainly feel most at ease in a sweater at the beach.…

    Becoming An Outsider

    As a child I always had trouble fitting in. I was never the popular girl due to the fact that I’m really quiet.

I felt isolated within my own community. So most of most of my adolescence and teenager years have been spent with me being an outsider.…

    How Society's Expectations That Changed My Life

    When I was a child all I ever needed to be was a child. For instance, everything I did, everything I said and the way I dressed did not seem to change the way society thought of me.

But as I got older, I felt my life changing, the eyes of everyday civilians watching me like a hawk, always surrounding me and judging the choices I made.…
