Belonging~

Personally, I don’t really know what it means to belong. I have been through trials of my own and no matter how much I try, I can not find my people. I feel extremely outcasted by my peers because of ignorance and other factors…

Belonging is important to people, especially in today’s world, where everyone looks for approval. It helps them feel wanted and loved. Everyone should have somewhere they belong in every place they go: home, school, work. People rely on each other. They look for acceptance, care, and open arms. The light in the dark. If one can’t find the light, they can become distant from others or reality, causing them to hide away or never open up to people they normally would because others have outcasted them.

Of Mice and Men Statements

The best place for justice to be determined is in a court of law. – This is a very true statement, people you typically find in a courtroom are experienced in these judgment calls. They know what the process is, they have most likely seen similar cases in the past. I gave this a 10 for these reasons, the common citizen shouldn’t have the right to beat a man to death because he touched a small child (without knowing if it was his or not).

Women today are more often treated by men as equals rather than objects. – This is a somewhat true statement, many women aren’t oppressed and stuff like that at least not as they were in the late 1800s or early 1900s. Unfortunately, men still make women the lesser of the two genders. They abuse women, joke about taking their rights away (something I’ve experienced myself as a woman.), or just flat out make fun of things they do to try and impress men like wearing makeup and fake nails and getting surgeries to look like a man’s dream come true… I rated this statement a 3 because quite a few men have changed, but most men aren’t with the times.

Hysteria & Limetown

Hysteria is shown in episode 5 of Limetown through Deirdre’s explanation of the events of the panic. Starting with Spence discovering she had the tech, him pulling her hair back to reveal the scar. Then the rest of the Old School banded together to destroy everything – Limetown, the tech, and Oscar Totem himself. Just overall causing chaos and terror.

The Old School caused this surge of fear and intensity by first destroying the supply of the supplement, destroying homes and families by breaking in and beating those inside. Finally dragging people to the center of town to watch Oscar Totem burn, or as the transcript reads: “Oscar must die so that we all will die, over and over again.” In the sense of ending the tech forever.
