Mp3 Memoir Analysis

After listening to ‘Us and Them’ again, my perspective hasn’t changed a bit. This kid is a selfish kid who can’t seem to give up his candy to some people who live next door to him, simply because he thought they were weird and different than him. Not to mention, the basis of why he thinks his neighbors are strange is because they live life a little differently than he is accustomed to. It is wrong and selfish to assume people who are different than you aren’t worth enough to give even a little piece of candy. It is terrible that they are his new form of entertainment because of how strange they are to him and his personal life. In no way did hearing this memoir out loud change my opinion in the least, because it is still saying the same thing as when I am reading it. It still is showing selfishness, it still is showing that being different means you’re an outsider, it is still poking fun; none of that I take lightly in today’s day and age.
