To be different means to be diverse, unlike, clashing and contrasting. It also means that to be different one will not conform to society or how society constructs stereotypes. ... Therefore, to be different is risky and dangerous to an individual because it challenges ones identity and rebels against society. People who have been different have been punished or persecuted for their behaviour, appearance and political views and the novel, "Guitar Highway Rose" supports and encourages that to be different is risky and dangerous, yet necessary.
Historically people who have been different have been persecuted. ... Witches were persecuted by society because of their different beliefs and the way they lived life. ... Teachers used to tie students left hands behind their back while they wrote with their right hands. ... Left-handed people were punished for being different because society was threatened by their difference and they did not want change. Being different is risky and dangerous to individuals because society will not accept change and difference. ...
