The Leopard Man

In the article The Leopard Man, by Logan Feys there are many strong arguments that he makes.  In his article he says, “Society tends to discourage people from expressing their unique ideas and behaving in ways that are different from their peers.”  With this he means that society desists people from being different and from being themselves.  Instead of them being themselves they do what their cohorts do or tell them to do.  Feys thinks that The Leopard Man is no ordinary freak that he is unique and doesn’t depend on any ones opinion. I agree with Feys’s argument.  

I agree with him because he is right about society desisting people from being unique.  These is the reason everyone dresses, talks, and walk the same.  Back then Everyone would be unique and were themselves; however, now everyone does what they are being told. There are times when people go to far; consequently, they go too far and end up hurting themselves.  It is sad to see everything that one person does just to get attention.  Also to see how their cohorts or people they think are their cohorts debunk them.  Just because they are being themselves or trying to be themselves.

Feys says, “Such people are desperate for society’s attention. Having failed to attract it in a positive form, they go for shock value.”  There are times of when people try to get someones attention by doing several of things.  For example being mean to the person they care about.  These reminds me of the movie girl in progress.  The main character did the following: steals from her mom, calls her best friend names, makes fun of her, and lots of other bad things.  She does all of these things to fit in and get attention from her mom; however, she didn’t need to do all of those bad things.

In conclusion, I agree with Feys with several thing; however, I don’t agree with him with a couple of his arguments.  I don’t agree that is society's fault  of people being the way they are, because everyone has and gets the right to choose what to do and what not to do.  It also depends on us if whether we listen them or not.  Everyone should just try to be themselves once in a while it won’t kill or hurt anyone at all.  Always remember that is your choice, so choose right.
