In the outsiders where you lived showed all other people what your economical class. So the people that live in the hood (greasers) could be thought that they are mean and dangerous  whereas the people in nice places are thought to be nicer when is that is not always true ]]> 2017-11-06 12:36:02 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834289 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834301 It is better to be an outcast rather than to fit in because being an outcast you can be different than everyone else and you have your opinions and others have something to say. Being conformed to fit in shows that you agree with most people and you don't have much to say.]]> 2017-11-06 12:36:04 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834301 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834314 Is it better to be an outcast or to conform to fit in? I believe that it is better to be an outcast because you shouldn't be limiting yourself just to blend in with the crowd. When you're an outcast and you stand out, at least you are being yourself and not putting on a facade.

How does where you live affect who you are? Where you live affects who you are by the way you dress, the way you speak, your culture, beliefs, and much more. If someone lives in Texas, they might have a southern accent, while if someone lived in New York, they may have a Brooklyn accent. It affects what you wear, because in California, it's hot most of the time so of course they would wear thinner clothing with less coverage.

Change affects people for the good and bad. Change can be good because sticking to a daily routine is boring and trying new things can benefit you. When you experience more you learn more. However, change can be bad because it is hard to handle change. Sometimes when you make a big change and don't stick to your daily routine it can be overwhelming.]]> 2017-11-06 12:36:07 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834318 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834346 It is better to be an outcast rather than to conform to fit in because you are your own person. You don't always want to change who you are in order to fit in, you can be an outcast and be who you are. You can be friends with many people without conforming to fit in. Yes, where and how you live can affect the way people see you. If you live in a nice big house, you may act more put together and ]]> 2017-11-06 12:36:15 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834346 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834357 It is better to be an outcast rather than to conform to fit in because one should not need to change themselves to fit in with the people surrounding them. One can also believe that change to fit in can be good because, one may be trying to become a better person and receives a positive impact from the people who influence them. One's surroundings can affect how others see them, and how one sees himself because based upon the people who surround you, and the actions they cause, which represents the impact you have on others, whether you decide to make good or bad decisions, based upon what others influence you to do. Change affects one for the good and (or) bad because it depends on the impact people put on you. ]]> 2017-11-06 12:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834357 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834361 It's better to be an outcast than to change who you are just to fit in. Eventually you will find friends . although sometimes change can be good for people, so it's a little bit of both.where you live effects who you are because people might reject you based on the area you live in. you also have different culture or religion]]> 2017-11-06 12:36:17 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834361 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834366 Where you live affects who you are because when you grow up the  conditions of you town, city, or state they influence how you are. If you grow up in a bad neighborhood, these bad things might rub off on you. If you live in a town that eveyone is doing bad things might rub off on you. My cousin lived in booklyn and once he moved to Jersey he changed on the clothes he wear and his attuide. ]]> 2017-11-06 12:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834366 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834368 In what ways does change affect people for the good and bad?

Good changes could affect people by making them a better person or can help them better understand or do something. A bad change could make someone feel bad about themselves and  could make them do their work differently. This may make their lives harder.]]> 2017-11-06 12:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834368 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834373 Changing to fit in with the crowd is not a good idea. If you know that you are  different from most people then you shouldn't try to change to fit in. Being different should not make you feel uncomfortable, as there is usually someone around that is an outcast themselves, but still like you. Someone should not think that they have to fit in with everybody else, as that limits you. One might find that they fit in with many different groups, but stick to one group, which stops them from trying to make any new friends. ]]> 2017-11-06 12:36:19 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834373 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834375 Where you live does affect who you are. An example is in Africa. If you live in Africa, you are most likely going to be more religious and spiritual, and focus on your next life, because you live in a horrible broken down shelter. In a richer area though, like the  US or Europe, not everyone is going to be religious and spiritual because they have enough money and shelter, so they don't have to wish for more. Of course, some people in these places are religious but not nearly as much people as in Africa.]]> 2017-11-06 12:36:19 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834375 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834396 When you are an outcast, you have more of an advantage because when you're by yourself, you can choose what you want to do and you can choose how you want to act. If you were to blend in, you would have a lot less freedom in your choices and you will have to go with other people's decisions. As an outcast you can have your own independence and you can do things the way you want to do it, which makes an outcast better than blending in with the crowd. ]]> 2017-11-06 12:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834396 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834464 It is better to be a outcast. From tying to hard to be popular instead of hanging out with your friends. Where you live can not affect who you are. For example in "The Outsiders" it has Ponyboy not liking fights unlike the rest of the Greasers and liking to fight was something that most Greasers do. ]]> 2017-11-06 12:36:38 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834464 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834490 I think that being an outcast would be better because if you conform to something than everyone would be the same and what's the point of everyone being the same. If everyone is the same than nothing will be different and there will be nothing new. Where you live does affect who you are because if you live in a poor place without education you wont be able to get a good job. But if you live in a mansion with lots of education than you will probably get a job and go to college.]]> 2017-11-06 12:36:42 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834490 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834501 I think that it is better to be an outcast. It is good to have your own  opinion on something. People may agree with you all of the time and the person who does have their own opinion will find that the one person who has their own take on different things, they will just copy you and not have an opinion.

If you are different in a way that is bad, for example, if you are less intelligent than others you get negative attention and if you have a positive way of being different like a higher average, you get positive attention. Where you live can affect you, for example if you live in China, where people eat bizarre foods and you move into a foreign country people may think different of you. Also, if you develop an accent from where you live people may think different of you. ]]> 2017-11-06 12:36:49 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834531 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834593 I believe that being slight  conformed and still have a difference in personality is sufficient. You need to be able work with a group in harmony but still have your own individuality. Being an outcast lets you express yourself, whilst being conformed to fit in will exclude your own personality. If you are too much of an outcast people will use that to their advantage and then bully you. The place you live affects who you are because you if you live in the "hood" you will be surrounded with a culture and community of crime such as robbery, murder, and assault. If you live in a fancy, gated community with high security, you will have nice expensive things and be protected from the "hood" things. Also the climate and weather can affect what clothes you wear. Plus, if you live in Kansas you will have to be alert for tornadoes.]]> 2017-11-06 12:37:04 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834593 23fnealon https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834755 2nd Question:
Living in a certain area can affect one's personality because if you live in a poor area, you don't get everything that you wish. However, if you live in a rich area, you mostly get everything that you need or that you find beneficial.
1st Question:
It is better to be an outcast, rather than to conform to fit in because you shouldn't have to change just to fit in. You have to be who you really are and feel comfortable acting that way. In addition, not everyone should act and feel the same, sometimes it is good to be a little different.]]> 2017-11-06 12:37:32 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834755 23khohenshilt https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834782 It is better to have your own opinion and be an outcast than being someone who dose what everyone else dose. Conformity dose not allow you to be a your own self. You might have to change yourself to fit the norm. ]]> 2017-11-06 12:37:37 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834782 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834910 Where you live can affect who you are because of your surroundings. You always go back to the same house and being in the same area can change you. If one lives in a rundown neighborhood and they are not that wealthy it makes sense that they may appear differently. The people that are not that wealthy have to work harder and do a lot more to pursue their dreams. The rich people have their mind set to their future and it is easy to get what they want because they have so much more money. ]]> 2017-11-06 12:37:53 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203834910 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203835021 The position of being an outcast should be supported because then the individual would be able to be with others instead of being put with certain people and having to ]]> 2017-11-06 12:38:15 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203835021 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203835096 Change affects people for the good and bad in many ways.  Every small change affects people in some way. For example, if an A student were to get an F, their grade would be lowered to a B, and because of that they might not make honor roll. That may cause an issue in their future. That is a way in which change affects people in a bad way. That could also work in a good way. For example, if a B student get's an A, they might make honor roll and because of one grade , their lfe improves. ]]> 2017-11-06 12:38:32 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203835096 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203835324 It is better to be an outcast because it is better to be different, than everyone the same, because change and difference makes life more enjoyable. Sameness makes no challenges and nothing to work for, while outcasts face challenges and struggles, that makes life worth living. The area where you live affects who you are because people are usually the same in most areas, and people may change to be like the people that are always around them. Change affects people for the good because through experience, people gain wisdom and kindness. However, they may change from others to become a bad person.]]> 2017-11-06 12:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/vf1f8orgi2xq/wish/203835324
