Accidentally pocketing a friends pencil or even picking up a dollar that was found on the floor could result in the feeling of “Did I do the right thing?” Sometimes, simple things can cause the emotion, but other times, novels and movies depict that people don’t always live such uneventful lives, and they take it in their own hands to make sure that they do something that they’ll never forget. In I Can Stand Him No Longer, a poem by Raphael Dumas, the theme of guilt is portrayed with figurative language and description.

    Fairy tales are a work of fiction and children are fully aware of that. Taking the fairy tales away from the pre-school and kindergarten students would be wrong because it takes away their chance of developing creative minds and becoming creative thinkers. Children have grown up on these stories for age and should continue to grow up on them because the stories teach children life lessons. (Orde) Fairytales can teach children lessons like manors, helping people, and being courageous in a fun and exciting way with princesses, dragons, and other magical creatures. Grimm’s fairy tales can seem inappropriate to adults for children to read but to the children it’s just another story about princesses, princes, and magical creatures.…

However, people below the chain of authority, especially the youth, struggle the most in attempt to triumph over these types of situations. Although conformity often helps society function correctly, there becomes a problem when a person’s identity becomes too infatuated within a higher authority that they disregard their own personal morals. So why in a society principled in independence and freewill do people eagerly toss morals aside in order to conform to a superior? It seems as if even though the face of morality does not disappear, individuals still willingly set their beliefs aside in order to please an authority figure.…
