Montgomery once said‚ “we pay a price for everything we get or take in this world.” Every decision and everything we take‚ in the hopes of bettering our lives‚ will come with a price a pay.

Clarke once stated “the bravest of individuals is the one who obeys his or her conscience.” In other words‚ anyone who follows their heart‚ or does what they believe is right are the bravest people.

    One may think it is unfair to try so hard to accomplish a goal‚ and in the end it seems that all their hard work and everything they lost paid off for nothing. David Mamet once said “…it is the human lot to try and fail...” I agree with this quotation because it cannot be truer in my own life‚ as well as the tragedy Antigone by Sophocles in which two tragic heroes Creon and Antigone have to endure the pain of trying and failing.  To the naked eye it may seem although Creon and Antigone are the complete

    saying that if you stay yourself after all the peer pressure that surrounds you‚ it is a big accomplishment. He is saying to not go with the flow‚ but to stand out as you. I agree with this critical lens. The novel Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson and the graphic novel Maus by Art Spiegelman illustrate the critical lens. Speak is about how the main character‚ Melinda‚ is trying to find her identity and trying to be herself. The book Maus is about the Holocaust‚ which was caused by one group of people extremely

    Crucible Critical Lens An anonymous source once stated‚ “When fighting the Dragon‚ be fearful of becoming the Dragon itself”.
