    As Jason Taylor attempts to navigate the choppy sea that is adolescence, he often struggles to find his place among his peers. Just as young kids like Jason are trying to explore who they are, the cruel social hierarchy created by other students forces Jason, and other young boys, to try to fit into a rigid, outdated mold of stereotypical masculinity that causes Jason distress and conflict in his everyday life. The social expectations of being a boy cripple Jason’s self-esteem and force him to shun parts of himself that others deem unacceptable, like his love of poetry. Most of the conflict that Jason encounters throughout the novel could be avoided if he didn’t feel pressure to fulfill gender stereotypes. Throughout the glimpse at Jason’s life that we get to see, he is always hyper-aware of how his actions…

    Persuasive Essay On Medea

    Ancient Greek society highly valued the idea of its citizens meeting the expectations of their social and moral responsibility in terms of the principle of sophrosyne, that is finding balance between reason and passion. However, Euripides in exploring the rationalisations of Jason and Medea, in his tragedy Medea, challenges the commonly held value of seeking balance. Jason breaks his oaths and leaves Medea for fortune and prestige, while Medea sets on the quest to exact her retribution on Jason. Ultimately, however, Medea is Euripides iconoclastic attack on the Greek social system, suggesting to the audience that maybe the real criminal is the androcentric Greek society, where woman and the second class are unjustly subjugated. Leaving Medea for Glauce, in pursuit of wealth and prestige, Jason remains naïve to the fact that he has become a criminal.…
