One of the themes of this novel has to do with the expectations of society and the hypocrisy of adults. Mark Twain used the perspective of a young man to point out many of the silly rules and expectations that society holds. Do you see this reflected in our society today? What rules or expectations do you find silly, hypocritical, or just plain dumb? Remember to explain your answer with examples and details.

No,Our society is not stupid today but is fair.I do not find any rules stupid except for abortion because it is just murder.Issue one was a event in Ohio history that was very stupid and dumb because they were just saying yes to murder.

Our society is not the greatest right now, we have learned about how people let power get to their heads and how that ruined the society they were governing over, our society has let the power get to our heads and now we have a lot of problems. As Dorian had said, abortion is bad, but also riots, and the disputes, all of this is dumb and silly.

Our society can be bad at some points and good at others. People still strive to have more power than others and can get very horrible to people. We can be good because we can sometimes be fair and right by trying to make sure people don't have much power and that people are equal. Our society today is good and bad.

There are several expectations and rules in our society that I think are unnecessary, but I think laws about dumpster diving are particularly silly. Every day, tons of perfectly good food is thrown away, and people who don't have enough to eat are not able to take advantage of the unwanted food that could have been their meal for the day. Stores have no use for the food, and therefore others who are less fortunate should be able to eat.

I think it’s unfair that kids above the 6th grade aren’t allowed to have recess unless taken out by a specific teacher. We should have mandatory outside time for all grades because it would give you a break and help you to focus more on school work.

Our Society isn't the greatest right now, but it's fair enough, I don't find it fair that some women have to give birth babies that they aren't responsible for having. I know that most of my classmates say No on Issue One, but I say yes. Comments are closed.
