The Inner Ring- from the eye of a College Student

      Today C.S. Lewis came to give us a speech on the Inner Ring.  Do you know who C.S. Lewis is? He was my favorite author when I was little! I loved his Narnia series.  I would read those books continuously.  He's an amazing writer and also a speech giver.
    So anyways he started talking to us about Inner Rings.  He suggested that EVERYONE wants to be part of the Inner Ring. I think Inner Rings are like cliques, or the different groups in middle school or high school.  I remember wishing to be part of this one group in middle school, but they just didn't like me.  I don't understand how EVERYONE wants to be part of a Inner Ring.  Not everyone does in my experience.  Some people like to stick out and not be a part of a clique.  He also stated in many places that this want or need is bad.  Being part of the Inner Ring is bad, but I don't see how it is bad.  Maybe he is just telling us about his experience and forcing us to relate to him? Well, I have no idea.  How could something like a clique be bad?
      Well although his speech was insightful I don't think I will be able to relate to it.  Maybe I will in the future, but my life is different then his life and I just don't think I could feel the same way about Inner Rings.  Maybe in the future? Who knows?  We shall see.
