Is difference a weakness? Is sameness a strength? Done by: Zaina Alsayed Grade: 10B1.

Is difference a weakness?. Difference, in my opinion, is both a strength and a weakness at the same time. A person's differences can cause them to face numerous challenges during their childhood, but as they get older, they will discover that this weakness is also a strength..

This is a video that shows Taylor Swift talking about her being bullied..

Revenge of the geeks. In the argument, revenge of the geeks, being different turns out to be something positive and useful, as many people who were labelled nerds and weird in school turned out to be successful, in contrast to people who were considered "popular" in school. In the revenge of the geeks there are many examples, one of them is about JK Rowling. JK Rowling went from being poor and getting bullied to becoming a billionaire cause of her famous book series “Harry Potter”.

The Doll’s House. In the story, the dolls house, The Kelveys are treated differently and are thought to be strange by others because they are not from a high social class, don't have a father, and their mother works as a maid. Being different is a weakness in this story since it caused the Kelveys to have a miserable childhood of bullying..

Elliptical. The poem is written from the perspective of someone who is getting shunned and neglected, making it difficult for them to communicate with others. That person wants to speak up but is ignored because they are different than others. Being indifferent in this scenario may have made it easier for the person to communicate and fit in. that’s why sameness can be a strength sometimes..

Sonnet, with bird. The speaker in the poem Sonnet with Bird expresses their fear of being different because no one else looks like them. The poem's major point is to demonstrate that no matter where you go or how different you are, you will always find someone who is like you..

I believe that being different can be difficult at times, but being different isn't always a flaw. It will eventually become a strength with time..
