"Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope. It is a tool for daily life in modern society...Literacy is a platform for demostration, and a vehicle for the promotion of cultural and national identity...Literacy is, finally, the road to human progress and the means through which every man, woman and child can realize his or her full potential." ---Kofi Annan

Wicked Lovely poat 1B

Being different is hard.
In everyone's life, I believe, there were at least a time when you just felt awkward because you were different. In Wicked Lovely, Aislinn can see faeries, which others can't except her family. And it is believed that if the faeries know that they can see them, horrible things would happen.
Think about the times when you see a major flaw somewhere in a group project, but you couldn't bring yourself to say it because you are afraid to be blamed.
That is what I called human nature. Afraid to be blamed, can do everything to avoid punishments, some, like Joe in All My Sons, would be even willing to let his best friend take blame for him.
Being different, unique, special, or however you want to phrase it, is difficult.
When one is treated in a different manner than most, one usually gets attention whether if one is willing or not. Especially those who are introverted, life can be surprisingly challenging to get through.
Imagine this, when others are pointing at you, talking about you, regardless if it is good or bad, wouldn't you feel weird?
Furthermore, I would start questioning myself and wonder what I have done to lead myself in to the role of the topic of people's discussions. So, next time, before you open your mouth and give a comment, think again, try to reduce the harm to the least possible.
