Compare And Contrast Essay On Akram

Improved Essays

Akram doesn't care if he does anything bad because he knows that my parents will believe anything he says and he will just blame it on me. He gets whatever he wants even if we can't afford it, he gets his own room while I have to share with my older brother, Barak, and he acts like he's my dad. Baraks room smells like mold and sweat, he has a pile of socks that looks like it's alive, and I always hear his music playing through his earbuds.

    All our lives we’ve been taught to follow the rules, but what happens when we don’t? In Greek mythology Icarus dares to face the sun and as a result fails to follow the rules of flying. Examples of the Icarus tales are Ovid’s “Metamorphoses” and the short story “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut. These authors tell the story of boys who pushed the limit which resulted in their deaths.
