Sameness vs Equality

Equality and sameness are two totally different ideas. Sameness is when one idea is similar to another. Equality is mainly used when talking about people. For example sameness could be used when talking about characteristics of people. Say, one person feels angry and so does another that would be sameness. Equality is when we talk about rights and how all people are equal. In Animal Farm, sameness is what all the hens felt when their eggs were being taken away. All the hens felt a similar feeling. In The Giver, all people go through stirrings, a similar feeling when you turn twelve. In The Giver, equality comes into play when we are exposed to the community where all people are equal. In Animal Farm, there is an inequality between the hens and the pigs. The pigs get many more facilities and have control over all the others.

Feedback

At the age of 18 or 21, one would be considered an adult by law. You become an adult when you yourself can take decisions for yourself and you have the power to accept its consequence. When you are responsible for your actions, that is when you are an adult, and then it doesn’t matter whether you are 5 or 50. This is what I believe about adulthood.

When you are responsible and capable to accept the consequence of your actions, you are considered an adult. An adult doesn’t mean that you don’t make mistakes. An adult means when one does a mistake but then resolves it and tries not to do it again. It could take you many years to make you an adult. In the book THE GIVER, you become an adult at the age of 12. I believe that you don’t have an age to become an adult but your perspective of problems decides whether you are an adult or not.

You are never useless for a community. If you are young you get to learn from your elders, and if you are old you can teach. No community is too small to not make you a part.
