    Unwind ISP Response Journal 1

    In Neal Shusterman’s “Unwind”, three thirteen-year-old children are in a life-or-death situation to escape the ill will of being unwound and to survive until their eighteenth birthday. To set forth with the journey through the three youths’ experiences, the opening chapter acts as an introduction to the concept of being unwound and to the one of the main characters, Conner. Right of the bat, after reading the first few pages, one can interpret that to be unwound is not something one usually would wish or enjoy. Although, after reading through a series of events, the book had caught my interest, the initial chapter didn’t quite fulfill its “duty” of pulling in my attention until I neared the end of it.…

    Ellen Hopkins Identical: Should It Be Banned To Young High School Students?

    Yet this comes to how just how cruel life can be. After finishing this book, I couldn’t stop thinking about it for days. I’m not going to spoil anything, but the dramatic turn of events is empowering. Anyone, upperclassman in high school and older, who has been through traumatic experiences with rape, self harm, or drug overdose should read this book because they could compare their experiences to what the character have gone through. Yet at the same time, it’s crucial to ban it for younger adolescents because I don’t believe they would be mature enough to handle this type of…

    Abortion In Ernest Hemingway's Hills Like White Elephants

    Becoming a parent is something most people see in their future, however it often comes at the wrong time for some people. In Ernest Hemingway’s, “Hills Like White Elephants”, we see a couple’s conversation as it leads up to the decision they are making on whether or not to have an abortion. With the white elephants representing a metaphor for the unborn child, we are able to see the struggle of a couple trying to make a decision on whether to keep the child or not, through which it is apparent that the two of them as a couple don’t communicate properly and the girl does not normally know how to make her own decisions.…

These four cautionary short stories illustrate the future horror of scientific evolution for mankind.…

    Hills Like White Elephants Essay

    It is a very interesting piece of literature because the story is vague enough to create a heated debate whether she had an abortion or not in the end. We can make up the future of their relationships in our imaginations and how she might be going to live. It enabled us to figure out what the story were based on, and it showed us a very realistic feature of our very own world we live in and how some people are irresponsible and so self-centered.…

    Violating Social Norms In Society Today

    Apart of me believes that as a society, we value social norms to the fullest in regards to what behaviors and or actions are considered acceptable; however it been proven that violating social norms in the past have help with the progression of society today. Change did not occur without having people who were opposed to certain traditions. For example, the civil right movements, women suffrage, interracial marriages, and now Sexual Education programs. Sex is an unspoken, uncomfortable topic because society symbolizes virginity. Virginity is a social construction seen as sacred, when in fact it is just a form of oppression and the ability to control women and their bodies. In todays age, teens already know what sex is all about but its completely…

    Non Conformity Ruins Society

    Whether they like it or not, everyone conforms to society in one shape or another. Acceptance keeps its number one spot as the most sot after goal. Most reach tolerance by piers first starting out in school as a young child and as they get older, many change in their mental state. They like new music, clothes and everything that makes an individual. However there, like on a pedestal for everyone to stair at, is the high standard of how to be, look like and act first introduced by Plato. That very par crushes human minds and molds them like robots; a cookie cutter life that is unreal. What happens when someone or a whole town breaks that mold? People become scared of the unfamiliar and that drives them away. Sherwood Anderson wrote about his experiences with non conformity in his novel Winesburg, Ohio published in 1995. Anderson grew up in Ohio being the third of seven Children. As a teenager, he had to leave school to support his family. He soon realized that he had a gift for story telling which he thought came from his father. With his brother, Anderson attended Wittenberg Academy where he discovered his true passion for writing. Most of his life, Anderson knew how it felt to be an outsider in a rapidly growing community. Being a writer was not an ordinary job of the early Twentieth Century. In Winesburg, Ohio, the story revolves around the people and the individual story instead of a greater plot. This was strange to see in novels but Anderson was not an ordinary person. He suffered, “a mental breakdown resulting in temporary amnesia” (“Sherwood Anderson”). That caused him to write even more about unusual events, people, and places. Not many people enjoyed his thinking outside the box and since he did not conform to what society told him to, it was hard for him to establish himself. Each character in Winesburg, Ohio relates to Anderson’s life and people around him. Every person in the town does not conform to society and that leads…

    The Role Of Ignorance And Isolation In Our Society

    The knowledge, ignorance and isolation portrayed within the society of Eyam, replicates a civilization highly defined by tradition and routine. Individuals are accustomed to the life provided for them within their self-reliant town, where they each play their own role and serve a specific purpose, leaving them with “no occasion to travel father them the market town seven miles distant”. Consequently, this normalization of isolation and ignorance to the world beyond the boundaries of Eyam, causes the towns people lack experience and further to wonder “how things stood in the outside world.” Ignorance is likewise shown towards the value of knowledge, which stems from the towns focus on religion, and subsequently the despise towards witchcraft.…

    Fear Of Conformity Essay

    Most teenagers experience peer pressure - conformity to thoughts, actions, and appearance of others. Due to the desire to fit in and be accepted, teenagers are vulnerable to the pressure to change. Isolation from others frightens people into conformity. Individuals are alike in all different ways even if it is not noticeable. How does such fear of isolation lead to conformity? A piece of clothing may not be one's style, but everyone else owns it so one would feel obligated to acquire a piece. Loneliness is painful so to avoid it, conformity to others may be the easiest way. Personally, I am not one to conform to others because I have learned my lesson. My experience with conformity leaves a bitter trail in my memories. So bitter that I hated…
