the exact same interests, and talk about the same topics. In 1984, by George Orwell, and A Long Way Gone, by Ishmael Beah, the stories are set in two seemingly very different societies but the protagonists, Winston Smith and Ishmael Beah, live very similar lives in reality. At first, one would not believe this, based off of just a summary…

money! Society needs people like me. People that are worth more than you think, people you will look at and say “wow see that guy right there? Yup that’s money”.

with nature. Henry David Thoreau focused on Live Simply a theme that is still present in society today through the song lyrics “ We Never Change” by Coldplay, as well as through the action of Leonardo Dicaprio. Henry David Thoreau wrote about Live Simply in Walden. One quote from Walden is “Still we live meanly, like ants; though the fable tells us that we were long ago changed into men; like pygmies we fight with cranes (373). This quote means we fight with people like kids. Another quote…

do bad things in their own ways. I would say that I would not be classified as a Greaser or a Soc. In my opinion, the Greasers and the Socs are not very different; they both commit crimes, they are both loyal to their friends, and they both start fights. The Greaser’s and the Soc’s are both criminals and they both commit crimes in different ways. An example of the Soc’s being criminals is that they jump the greasers for no reason other than the fact that they have the power to do it. As…
