Leopard Man Essay
People believe that those who dress and act different do it just for attention. In Logan Feys' article "The Society of Leopard Man" he says, "Society tends to discourage people from expressing their unique ideas and behaving in ways that are different from their peers." I believe that not all people act different for attention, like some people might drink or smoke to relieve stress. Others might just do 'weird' things just because it makes them feel comfortable.
In this article Feys argues that 'ordinary' people ,like himself, shouldn't like the weird, freakish, abnormal, and extraordinary people. Because he believes people who act and look different do it just to get attention. Feys also argue that people who act different tend to have psychological disorders. While Feys tries to persuade us to stay away from people who act different, because we don't understand them, the evidence suggests that we should get society out of our lives from time to time.
The author's claim is that ordinary people should stay away from the extraordinary individuals because they can be dangerous, and he supports this claim by writing, "Abnormal people suffer from psychological disorders. Indeed plenty of weird people do have serious mental problems." I agree with the author to a certain point. There are a lot of abnormal people suffer from psychological problems. But because there are people who have those problems it doesn't mean all of them do.
"But from time to time, get society out of your life and out of your mind not permanently (necessarily), but from time to time." I agree with the author's statement. It is good to just have some time away from everyone. Like Feys said not permanently, unless you feel like you want to.
Just because you act different it doesn't necessarily mean you are doing it for attention. You are just not being what others are, a conformist. If you are an 'ordinary' person then try and talk to an 'abnormal' person for starters. You never know if the person just needs someone to be there for them.

My Favorite Mistake
One day when I came home I greeted my mom like i always did and she told me to gather all my laundry so we could go wash them. After I had gathered all of my clothing i took them to the living room while I waited for my mom to bring her laundry downstairs. As I waited for my mom, I decided to go to my sisters room so she could help me with my math and history homework.
As I was finishing my homework i headed out of my sisters room and into the living room. Once I reached the living room I saw my mom carrying the last of her things downstairs. After having the laundry ready in the living room my mom, sister, and I loaded it into the car.
Once all of the laundry was in to car i got inside and sat in the drivers seat. Once my mom got to the door on the drivers side she inquired, "Why are you sitting in the drivers seat?" , I responded, "Can I try driving the car out of the garage and into the streets this one time, please?" I sat there watching her as she contemplated this situation until she finally gave in and replied with, "Okay, but only to the street no further." I clapped my hands together and gave her a wide smile as to tell her thank you.
Once I turned on the car I took a deep breath, and pressed hard on a random pedal. What I didn't know was that I stepped on the wrong pedal as the car went shooting forward and I got scared, I didn't know what to do. My mom was yelling at some near by police officers to help me. As the officers were running my way i turned to my right and pulled the lever that was next to me, which I later found out was an emergency brake, and the car came to an immediate halt. After my mom and I had our small heart attack I just got out out of the car and hugged my mom.
So that was one of my traumatizing and favorite mistakes. From this experience I learned that I shall not do something without knowing how to do it correctly. So I now now for a fact, that I will not drive until i have my license.
