Q: what does it mean for something to be on "two sides of the same coin"
It means something is that appears to be different is actually similar or identical.

On common quarters (I'm using USA coin for example) there is the head of a president and the text "Liberty", on the reverse side there is the eage and the text "Unite States of America". It is true that both sides are different and have dissimilar icons and text- they both have the same function. They act as a symbol of the USA on the quarter and their cost is 25 cents.

So when that quote is said- it means that someone or something that may seem different from others are actually alike.

Two people that come from different background and different race may be the "two sides of the same coin" because they are going through the same situation and experiencing the same difficulties. Appearance doesn't judge the character, personalities does.

thanks

Hihi everyone. Call me Kit and I live in New York. If you ever want to talk, just leave me a message!

I'm a sophomore in High School. Of course, I am not a superb advice giver but I can have my voice heard in topics. However, like everyone else, I have my own problems. But I feel that if everyone can just express their true feelings to one another, problems can be solved easily. So if you ever have a question or a remark to make, simply say it. I don't mind at all. I'm sure even if you make insults at me, you probably have a reason to and I'll just approach it the same way I approach things in life.

Whether your question is simple or profound, I'll do my best to help. ^^. Laters!

Kit.
