Happiness is being around your self-chosen family with a career in a profession that simultaneously gives you purpose and help improve our society. It is the feeling of comfort and being considerate of others. The novel Station Eleven has many different definitions of happiness as defined by various characters within the book. The character, Jeevan Chaudhary and I define happiness in exceedingly similar ways because we prioritize similar things in our lives.

Happiness, is defined by a person’s well-being or positive state of mind. For many the pursuit of happiness leads to fulfillment in life. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, the three main characters, Jay Gatsby, Daisy Buchanan, and Nick Carraway all pursue happiness in different ways. For Gatsby, true joy can only be achieved by dwelling in his youthful past. Daisy, however, finds no enjoyment in past experiences but attempts to grow and learn. Nick finds happiness in facing the present and the adversity it presents. However, true happiness can only be found in looking to the future and what it may hold.

Where the Wild Things are by Maurice Sendak is an interesting children’s picture book. The main character is a little boy named Max, who has a wild imagination. He uses all five senses as well as thought and his actions to express his personality as well as how he reacts and interacts with his surroundings. Max’s id, ego and super-ego are greatly shown in this book through the way that the author has portrayed him. Not only is this book a children’s story, but it can also be perceived as a life lesson. Many people go through times in their lives when they make drastic decisions right away, such as leaving home. One may enjoy it for the rest of their lives or only for a little while, just like Max who felt lonely after having fun with the monsters. In this case, people end up going home to be with their family where they are not lonely, and can have more time before making a final decision of what should happen next in their life.

The children then rebel, and use lions they conjured in their nursery to kill their parents. “The Veldt” sends a message through the incompetency of George and Lydia as parents.

Everyone has fears, whether it be fears of spiders, heights, or in this case appearing weak. Curt Lemon was afraid of the dentist and didn’t want anybody to know he had fears like they did. He didn’t want anyone to believe he had weaknesses like the rest of them. He was willing to do crazy things just so people would have higher opinions of him, even though he secretly had a low opinion of himself.

“That was the thing about the hospital. You never had to worry about running out of stuff like food or ice or even chewing gum. I would have been happy staying in that hospital forever” (Walls 12).

Happiness is something humans have been pursuing for centuries. The quest for happiness is so cemented in the minds of human beings that it has been used as a method of control, and as a weapon against others. Humans are moths, ever drawn to the distant flame of joy. Over the past year I have learned much about this pursuit that has plagued humans for millennia. Pieces of literature like The Great Gatsby, Of Mice and Men and The Devil and Tom Walker all explore this pursuit in unique and diverse ways.

What is happiness? “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas” by Ursula K. LeGuin, is a story in which everybody would see it as a brutal and horrific story of a kid who is being incarcerated for his/her whole life as an exchange of all the goodness and happiness of the city. However, the narrator lets us know the misunderstanding concept of happiness that the Omelas people have, and how vague and profound this feeling can be for certain people who are living in a “Fairy tale city.” As the story goes along, the irony, parallelism, and persuasion that the narrator is giving to the story shows how elusive happiness seems to be for the people living in Omelas, and the selfishness they can have when it comes to pursuing their “happiness.”

Everyone wants to live the good life. To be rich, pretty, having a nice family, a nice home, and being respected by the community? For some they are born into this lifestyle, others have to create it from scratch. For the Sinclairs they were not only born with

Since I have read only half of the book, so far I find Soloman Lindo's character very decent when compared to other white people in the town. I agree with Sola because selling Aminata's son could have been a misunderstanding, if Lindo knew that he was Aminata's son then it would have been a different situation. I find his character different because he respects everybody and treats Aminata and Dolly as servants rather treating them as slaves. He teaches Aminata how to read, write, arithmatic and different trades that she would need in order to be self employed to catch babies. This situation is very rare because no white man would treat a black women with so much respect during that time. Hence overall i think Lindo is a good

When the word love is heard, what comes to mind? Is it that special connection once shared with a long lost lover? Or maybe it wasn’t a lover at all but a friend, who not only loved you for you, but showed you how to love yourself. In the novel A Thousand Splendid Suns,author Khaled Hosseini portrays love in many different ways. Three vital themes concerning love outshines many of the themes throughout this novel. Love can cause the happiness of the people who receive it, it strengthens and brings out sides of us that we were too scared to embrace, and it causes people to make sacrifices for the benefit of others.
