The clouds coated the whole sky and created this cotton candy-like effect. The autumn air was crisp and there was a slight breeze from the north.

everyone goes through experiences‚ good or bad‚ that shape the person they become. Other than these experiences‚ a deciding factor on how a person is shaped is the society or community they are in. A soldier going through war experiences with his platoon will most definitely come out differently than a student experiencing high school with his friends. But ultimately‚ which one has more of an impact when it comes to shaping an individual’s identity? In Karen Armstrong’s “Homo religiosus‚” Tim O’Brien’s
