come out and tell the public they’re gay. Most responses to this turned out to be good and that shows what kind of a society we are today. Above I have listed the key repitions and oppositions and ranked them in the way I thought they were most important. My rankings show me that today in this world as people come out it is not as big as a problem because today we are more of an accepting society. Based off my rankings I have noticed a theme about how coming out gay as a public figure can go…

The Valentine Road documentary shows the constant struggle of the LGBTQ community and their everyday lives. The harassment, torture and struggle dealing with being openly gay or lesbian.

Unfortunately, we do not live in a utopia and we live in an imperfect world, where not everyone accepts who they are. With today’s society telling people what is and is not acceptable, it is obvious why people seem lost. J.D. Salinger’s, The Catcher In The Rye, is a developing story written in Holden Caulfield, a protagonist, point of view. In the novel Holden emerges lost…
