Summative Essay

         To walk a mile in someone's shoes, at a literal standpoint it seems quite easy as long as you can walk a mile and your feet fit the other persons shoes. For me it would be quite challenging because I wear size 12 shoes and then trying to squeeze into size 8 and a half I think after that mile I would have giant blisters instead of feet. Enough about that this is supposed to be about the real meaning of "to walk a mile in someone's shoes" which is to see something through someone's eyes whether it's yourself, a song or anything else someone would have an opinion on.

         Lets start off with "Romeo and Juliet," to me this movie, play, book, whatever it is will always remind me of the Movie "The Shining" by Stanley Kubrick, and its not because of  the elevator scene or REDRUM but how nobody really knows what its truly about. So I will skip the part where I tell you "Romeo and Juliet" "its about being friends with everyone" or "it's about some random prison break in WWII" So I'll get straight into it. Paris is a well known person who has a lot of money and is basically royalty without the title. But he is like your stereotypical creepy uncle Tom because you don't really know where he lives and shows up to all your party's and hides in your house during Easter. But during the end of the story he goes to visit Juliet's dead body and brings flowers and then you the viewer/ reader think to your self maybe this guy is't so bad after all, and then he goes and gets himself killed next to Juliet because maybe he did actually love her in not a creepy uncle Tom way and maybe he was acting that way because he was nervous about marrying a 13 year old girl.

        "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night time," This book is about walking in Chris's shoes because Chris is autistic and we are not (by "we" I mean in our class) so we get to take a walk a not so wild side full of logic, maths and finding a dog murderer. First of all he is writing a book for school but he is writing it in first person and along the way he tells us how he goes along his day and how he tells if its a good day or a black day. For most people a good day happens when good things happen to them like, you find free money, sleep in, or just hanging out with your friends and the same goes for bad days except everything is bad like, waking up sore, losing money or crashing your car and being stuck with people you don't like.

walking in someone's shoes is a great way to get to know someone or it could not be great, but then you know something about that person that you didn't want to know and it messes up your whole friendship (and vice versa). There are always ups and downs to every scenario so do everyone a solid and stay out of other peoples business to avoid all the negative effects of walking in someone's shoes.
