    that of ignorance. In war it can mean life or death‚ and in everyday life if you ignore the problem or person long enough it can destroy your life or the life of someone very close to you or that you are trying to protect. This is an idea that both Tim O’Brian and Carl Deuker explore in their books‚ The Things They Carried and Gym Candy‚ respectively.

    Vision Quest It was the morning of my vision quest‚ everyone has been anticipating this except for me. When I walked out of my tepee I felt my hair rise sharply as the cold gust of wind-swept dust off the land. Then everyone blurted out in excitement‚ their faces had the same expression‚ eyes squinted‚ almost blind with joy‚ their smiles encompassed their faces.

    Ignorance In Oedipus Rex

It can open unlimited doors leading to endless possibilities. Education teaches skills and builds character to help the average
