Gregory Rosenthal Mrs. Roether English 9H 19 March 2013 Being ?Different? At some point or time in your life, you have most likely been told that it is okay to be different, encouraged to ?stick out from the crowd.? But is that really what you are doing as an individual? You may not wear the exact same brand of shoes, or clothes, but the style and the way you act is the same. You are one of a billion other people, a working class drone. To be truly different in my eyes, you and your views must be outrageously apart from the rest of society, an extremist if you will.
