We don't need other peoples approval for what we do or how we live our life but people often feel like you do or act like it. For some people it is hard to have your own voice but for some people it is easier. When people do what they want instead of what everyone else is doing they may feel like they don't fit in or may get made fun of which is why people often don't listen to their own voice.



If you don't value your voice and listen to the voice of others it lets the reason why you didn't listen to your own voice in the first place get worse. If we do not stand for what we believe in we may lose many things. Such as if people never stood up to get women rights women still wouldn't be able to vote and many other things too. Some people fall for what they believe in. Soldiers fight in wars risking their life for what they believe in and sometimes the die.



Some things that distracts me from listening to my own voice is how many people are expected to wear a certain brand of clothes. But I try not to always do that like I will wear anything sometimes. Something that keeps me focuses me on listening to my voice is that you should be your own person and do and wear what you want and not what other people do or want.



In the book Farenheit 351. Montag is expected to burn books like all the fireman and everyone is expected to not own books. The lady at the fire went against the fireman keeping books and she ended up dying for what she believes in. Then Montag also risked his life by going against everyine to for what he believes in which is to own and read books too.
