If I could know more about a single person in my life I would choose my grandfather. Despite being over 90 when he died, I hardly remember him due to being so young. As I knew him he hardly left his threadbare armchair, and had to be constantly connected to an oxygen tank. It was only until after he was gone I found out he had been in the military for a very long time. I also discovered he had many unique habits, such as believing WD-40 as a cure all and heavily peppering every food he ate. It would be amazing to hear the stories he had to tell on his life experiences, which is why I chose him for this prompt.
To be an outcast is to go unnoticed- to be knowingly ignored by society. However, it is also safe to say thinking you are an outcast is just a state of mind felt by an individual. For example, if you are part of a club with a relatively small number of people, yet you think you belong, thus you aren’t an outcast. A time in my life when I felt like an outcast was in 6th grade. As of switching schools, people who I had known the majority of my young life now acted like I didn’t exist. While I had remained the same, they had now found new friends. Despite being around more people in my entire life, I was more alone than ever. Outcasts exist within society because they defy the norm. They are different from everyone else, thus they are shunned.
