Who uses thier word precicly?


My Opinion


Although sameness and equality may sound very similar, their meanings are actually quite different. Sameness implies that every one looks, acts, feels, and responds the same way. However equality implies that people are respected and treated equally.
When comparing both books (Animal Farm and The Giver) and their authors (Lois Lowry, and George Orwell), I would have to say Lois Lowry used his words more carefully. You see, in the book The Giver equality exists, which is why Lois Lowry used that word. He used that word because in the book people don’t feel or necessarily respond the same way, though they are treated the same way. But in the book Animal Farm, Gorge Orwell used the word sameness. And this word wasn’t used correctly. This is because every one in the book didn’t all look the same, but were meant to treated equally. Therefore I would have to say that Lois L
owry picks his words much more carefully than Gorge Orwell.

Being an Adult


In the world we live in today, you are considered an adult by the time you’re around the age of eighteen. To become an adult, means that you are old enough to fend for yourself, work, and maybe even raise a family. The great thing is you can ALWAYS be a useful part of the community. Even if you are 90. This is because you can still do kind things, like make a donation, or start a health care center. However, our life seems so long compared to the children in the book The Giver where people are no longer useful by the age of 36! And, are given jobs and maybe even families by the age of 12 or 13! That’s a short life! Luckily, we have a full life to accomplish of this.
