    This document discusses whether differences are weaknesses or strengths by analyzing several works of literature. It first claims that differences are often seen as weaknesses in works like "The Doll's House" and "Sonnet, with Bird" because the characters are outsiders due to their low social rank or being the only Native American. However, the document then counters that being different can be a strength, as shown in "Revenge of the Geeks" where celebrities were bullied for their differences but later succeeded. In the end, the document concludes that while differences may cause weaknesses when young, they can become strengths as one ages.
