Dangerous Yet Fragile

In life many things are perceived to be dangerous, but really they are the most delicate, harmless things in the world. Lets take a rose for example. A rose is a flower that represents love. It has hundreds of delicate pedals but yet when touched a person is cut with its thorn. Nora is just like a rose. The thorns protect her secret and act as a shell that Nora can hide behind to keep her secret safe. But really Nora is a delicate pedal. She only acts a certain way because just like thorns are supposed to protect the rose, she has to protect her secret.

Some animals also are perceived as dangerous but really they are harmless. When a person thinks of sharks they think of death. But really only some sharks kill humans. The basking shark is a great example. The basking shark is the second largest animal in the world. It can grow up to thirty-three feet and weigh up to four tons. When seen, most people begin to freak but this shark is a filter feeder. It will not attack a human. Animals just like the basking shark all have one thing in common, they represent Nora of course. When just looking at Nora all you see is her exterior. You think of a " well off" woman with a great marriage. But deep down the truth about her is hidden just like these animals. Today a person judges another person or object in less than a second, and that is why appearance is so important in today's society. When a person does this though they miss the whole truth. They look at the basking shark and think run, they look at Nora and think perfect, but really the exterior of almost everything is just a mask to hide under. It is a false accusation of who someone really is.

These other animals also are harmless but are perceived as dangerous.
