In Alice Walker's poem, "Be Nobody's Darling" I agree that being an outcast is positive and gives you freedom. People should always embrace what makes them different from others. Being unique is a great quality in a person and should not be hidden. It does not matter if how you are may be uncool to others, you should be proud of who you are and never change for anyone. Walker says "be nobody's darling; be an outcast," one should always be them self, stand out, and be alive, its the only way to live.
In the short story "Fleur" by Louise Erdrich, I believe it is giving the same message as Walker's poem. Fleur is a strong, rebellious, woman who is seen as an outcast to others. She always goes against the norm, and does whatever she feels like doing. Her elders in her tribe try to tell her that what she does is wrong, but she does not listen. Fleur does what she wants and it makes her feel happy free, that is what truly matters in life.
