Due to being confined behind a mask, it is more harmful to wear a mask. The first reason why wearing a mask if harmful is because a person may hide their emotions. For example in the song, “The Real Me” by Natalie Grant, Natalie is trying to express her feelings about her life as it is without a mask. She is revealing her identity as she goes along through life experiencing all of its twists and turns. In the first line, it states, “same old game of plastic smile.” Also, “How much will they take before I’m empty.” This evidence shows that her feelings were not real while using the mask.

In conclusion, the novel “Their Eyes Were Watching God” presents the theme of love and that being in a relationship hinders independence but in an unique way. Hurston uses symbolism like Janie’s head rag which stifled her independence and when burned, made her feel free. She also uses the motif of communities, which are ever present throughout the book, using specific examples such as when Janie isn't allowed to go to the funeral, which hinders her independence because she isn't making choices for herself and isn't doing

The tulips can be seen to represent the love and concern that other people have for the speaker, for example her family, and that these people are there for her and that she is not alone. However, the speaker then personifies the tulips and describes them as ‘too excitable'. The personification represents the company of people which the speaker dislikes as she ‘didn't want any flowers'. The tulips could also represent the giver's affectionate feelings towards the speaker but she seems to want to get away from these feelings; she does not want to love or be loved, she wants to be left alone. The colour of the tulips is also significant as they are red, which can be considered a cheerful, bright colour, illustrating the lack of isolation.

The word desensitization means (in my own words) less sensitivity. The author express this theme in this novel by telling Katniss feelings and showing her emotions. The way the author told Katniss feelings made it look like she feel this way but she doesn’t care. If you read the book and haven’t seen the movie, you will be looking at a different perspective. In the book Katniss look like a shy girl that is mean to some people, but in the movie she is different.

Therefore, Kondo’s ideas complicate the feeling of nostalgia because if people follow her methods and throw away things, they would lose all of their memories and experience whereas Land shows

She says little about humanitarian aid in the first chapter besides how much it’s making her hate her life. The negative description of humanitarian aid work is a bit off-putting, not only to people who opened the book thinking they would be learning about aid work but also to her personality as a character. It’s easily assumable that being an aid worker would be a difficult and trying job. But the way Alexander portrays herself right from the start may make it difficult for reader to sympathize with her. It has been suggested that the point of the book was to break the idea of aid workers being humble and selfless people, which in the end the book does very
