Hi everyone my name is Andre Bajanov and my book was “East of Eden” by John Steinbeck.

My essential question that I made was “How does comparison threaten self-image?” (social)

In the article “Stop Comparing Yourself to Others to Improve Self-Esteem” written by Fay Agathangelou she talks about how people can compare themselves to others and how that can lower your self-esteem. She brings up what can and will happen if someone continuously compares themselves to someone else or others. She provides ways and sources that can be used to help this kind of problem and insecurity.
