Conformity In The Fountainhead

Throughout the story the audience views how impacting the character Iago is to Othello and his total interpretation of every single aspect around him which leaves readers with nothing but an ache in their chest filled with sorrow and longing. Othello is immediately introduced as a confident, humble man as general of the venetian army and his marrying of a white woman. Evidence of this is when in Brabantio confronts Othello about marrying Desdemona. “Down with him thief!. . .Keep

Discovery of such history had a profound impact on Equality such as when he read the word “I”. It is through man’s writing in which Equality came to understand “the blessed thing which (he) had called (his) curse” (98). This writing had such a positive impact on Equality that he decided to “write the first chapter of new history of man” so that it would be eternal (101). It is through his writing, that Prometheus will be remembered not as a number, but as a hero who vanquishes collectivism. His eternal message cautions the reader of the dangers of an irrational society so that someday man will think twice before chaining himself to the word

His decisions led him down a path in which there was no return, sealing his fate. All poor decisions lead to poor consequences, and in the case of Creon, his untimely downfall is a result of his own behavior. Creon’s stubbornness and pride are so overpowering that he cannot convince himself of his wrong doings. When confronted by Choragus, Creon truly believes that “This is [his] command, and [Choragus]

I think all of this contributed to his well-deserved Man Booker Prize. Coetzee has proven how passionate he is about his writing and the use of the English language is genius and on a very educated level. The art of making all that misery and suffering sound beautiful and romantic is a skill well portrayed as well as his ability to leave you questioning your own values and the simplicity in life. Coetzee also shows his extreme intelligence and opens a deeper understanding of the English language by using words forgotten by most. The main characters journey is displayed from a lot of different perspectives.

“With pride, there are many curses. With humility, there come many blessings. -Ezra Taft Benson” This quote directly states the topic of my paper. Many times Odysseus gets over confident or too prideful in the Odyssey. The Odyssey shows that having too much pride, confidence, and anger can negatively affect you, and the people around you.

In the short story, The Destructors the author Graham Green uses many plot devices and characterization to show the how the steady downfall of the main character Trevor. Techniques like flashback, symbols and irony help characterizes Trevor as intimidating, but determined and knowledgeable, but rigid; the need to eliminate all remnants of the past drives Trevor beyond the point of reason. One of the plot devices and techniques Green uses in Trevor’s characterization is by using flashbacks. Trevor, when he first met the gang was very quiet and reserved.

Not only on one occasion either. At the very beginning of the story, she wrote "It was a terrible time through which I was living" as her opening statement. This grabs your attention and makes you want to read more, and also adds a level of suspense because it goes

McGiveron’s critical review of Fahrenheit 451 concerns the symbolic importance of Montag’s hands. McGiveron claims that Montag’s hands are representative of his conscience and Montag only fully controls them when he “has decided to do good”, making them “reflectors of conscience.” His argument is very convincing, but I think Montag’s hands represent more than just his conscience, and, later in the novel, they do not represent conscience at all. Montag’s hands and their seemingly independent actions represent his subconscious mind: his emotions and, sometimes, his moral drives. In the beginning of the book, Montag finds a special pleasure in burning books and defines his hands as those of “some amazing conductor,” (Bradbury 3).

Saki is a renown story writer, widely known for his macabre storylines. Saki builds and maintains an eerie and tense atmosphere throughout the story with the help of various techniques and devices. The effective atmosphere of the story hooks the reader on to the story and helps the author create the tension between the characters. The story has many ironic statements and imagery which shape the reader’s image of the story and help the reader feel what Saki tries to convey.

However, Boland recognises that in her experiences, even the most intense emotions fade over time and her effective language features portray this. Eavan Boland, I believe, does make effective and efficient use of language features, such as metaphors and symbols; to explore personal memories and experiences celebrating the ordinary every day and love between cherished ones. Whilst delivering the penetrating truths about society, acknowledging the war and violence, and that most turn a blind eye to devastation it

2. Rejected Extremes Jim is able to reconcile various manifestations of adulthood where others have failed through the rejection of rigid, extremist, and even stereotypical roles. A clear example of such dismissal of rigidity occurs when Captain Smollett commands Jim to get to work: “I assure you I was quite of the squire 's way of thinking, and hated the captain deeply” (Stevenson 28).

Arguing with Atticus Finch is like arguing with a wall. He knows he 's a hypocrite—another word to add to the list of his characteristics. "Hypocrites have just as much right to live in this world as anybody" , he tells Jean Louise. So should we forget everything about the Atticus you thought you knew? Is this a different Atticus than the one portrayed in To Kill a Mockingbird?

Hothouse Flower is raw and painful. It left me with undeniable ache. Every single thing and element about this story is fully fleshed out and it’s something I always highly praise. The characters are drawn brilliantly. They’re deep, complex and real.

Your prediction on Peter and Howard make logical sense. As a reader, we come to sense a pattern in books and stories in general. The protagonist suffers to make it out on top and the antagonists eventually falls in humiliation. The Fountainhead has yet to display any evidence that Rand is trying to break this mold. And isn't that ironic?

Conformity is defined as a change in behavior or belief as the result of real or imagined group pressure. People usually fall into conformity in times of trying to fit in with the crowd and seeking social acceptance from others. However, there are times when it is okay to not conform. If one does not agree with society’s standard for normal attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs and believe that the norm is wrong, then they may choose to not conform in order to stand out and fight for what they believe in. For example, if conforming goes against the individual’s religion, culture, personal interests and beliefs, or what an authority figure says, such as their parents or guardian, then they may resist the pressure to conform.
