Sameness and Difference are two different things with good and characteristics about each of them. Difference is a very good thing when it comes to the way that people look and dress. It is very good that we are all different in these areas because if we were all the same when it comes to things like these, no one would be able to determine who is who. If we all look and act differently we will not be mistaken for someone else. It is also a good thing that we are different in the way that we look at things like colors. Jonas' society cannot see colors and sometimes colors can set different moods in which some cases is a good thing. Colors may give the members of the society different moods which may result as a good thing or a bad thing, Which is why sameness might also be a good thing





Sameness is obviously the opposite of difference but at times it is also a very good thing. Sometimes sameness can be a good thing because it can cause people to get along better because they agree on things. It is very obvious that when people have the same idea they get along. It is also very good to have sameness because people will get the same thing and the same amount of things. If people are all given an equal amount of everything there should be fewer arguements and complaints. If one person is given more of something than someone else it could cause a conflict. That is why it is not only important to have difference but also sameness

What would you do with 1 million dollars ?
If a had 1 million dollars i spend it on multiple things. I would give 250,000, which is one quarter of it to a charity called World Vision concerning the poor children in Africa. I would keep 300,000 of it to spend on things for myself like clothes, shoes, electronics, and jewelery. I would give some to my parents to thank them for everything they have done for me. 50,000 to my mom, 50,000 to my dad, and 50,000 to my Step-Dad. I would save the rest of the money in a bank for college and my retirement. That is what i would do with 1 million dollars.
