It takes over the average teenager's mind, so they choose to conform to the popular trends and fashion; therefore, they lose sight of what should mean the most, being themselves. How can we be our self without being called weird, stupid, freak and etc. When it comes to the topic of conformity most of us will readily agree that we want to be different instead of being who isn’t you. Many of us would give up our uniqueness, extraordinary distinctiveness, just to fit in a group.…

    Humans are fundamentally different than any other existing organism, not only because of the obvious diversity in physical form, but also because of the uniqueness humans have from each other. Our important features are our foundation as who we are as individuals, and the assortment of personalities set us apart from one another. As Neil Gaiman, author of the novel Anansi Boys, inspires us by writing, “Each person who ever was or is or will be has a song. It isn't a song that anybody else wrote. It has its own melody, it has its own words” (164).…

    Often in science fiction the debate of what is possible arises to stretch the imagination beyond the usual bounds. In Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go, clones pull at the limits of the readers’ mind, not only with their successful human existence but also with their multi-dimensional thoughts and emotions. Addressed in “More Human than Human” written by Chung Chin-Yi, clones, although created artificial, have their own original and unique emotion. He even states, “…it is the clones who are capable of emotional depths and compassion as well as love while it is the humans who commit atrocities and are inhumane,” (Chin-Yi, 1). Chin-Yi claims the clones do in fact have souls, and are more human than the humans although they are mere copies.…

    In the novel Mirror Image, the story is about a young girl named Alice, that gets a brain transplant, and shows the change in her life of herself and her family, including her twin sister, Jenny. A very important quote in the novel indicates that people change throughout life experiences, and change in personality. This has to be excepted in life. The quote “ ...but who is to say that your whole personality is in your head?” can be related by text to text, text to self, or text to world. I believe that with this quotation, it relates the most to text to world.…

    Romeo and Jerry Everyone likes to believe that we are all our own individual people but Maya Angelou put it best when she says, “I note the obvious differences / between each sort and type, / but we are more alike, my friends / than we are unalike,” (Angelou “Human Family”). There are so many people out there it is hard to believe not one of us is like the other. This is also reflected in many characters in our literature. Take a look at the two works “Through the Tunnel” by Doris Lessing and The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare.…

    No one is ‘perfect’. Perfection is a word we misuse to describe those who we think are above us in terms of power, beauty and much more. We often criticize those around us and ourselves due to our infinite imperfections while we should be focusing on other aspects of life. In Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short story “The Birthmark”, the primary focus is on human perfection as the protagonist tries to restructure the face of his wife, but it ultimately leads to her demise. This story is a mirror of life since it depicts that humans are flawed beings by our appearance or the way we are obsessed with finding flaws in others, and we should embrace others and our flaws.…

    We do not even know these people are different, just by sight alone. To know they must share their experiences, thoughts, and feeling with us, and those cannot be shared under a microscope on an autopsy table. We are the same, but different on the inside; and some people are treated on the basis of being different. The narrator states “I opened him up he wasn’t the same inside. And when I put him back together I couldn’t get him running again” (Bloch 2).…
