Orozco's Orientation

351 Words2 Pages

It seems as though the author of "Orientation" is trying to emphasize the way corporate environments force people to conform. The author introduces various characters that work in the office and highlights their personal secrets and stories to emphasize the conformity that is common in corporate environments. Toward the end of the short story, the first person says, “There. See That’s you, waving. And look there. There’s Anika Bloom in the kitchenette, waving back” ( Orozco 50). Earlier in the story, Anika Bloom is described as someone who should be avoided. The first person states, “So unless you want to know exactly when you will die, never talk to Anika Bloom” ( Orozco 47). In my opinion, this quote about Anika Bloom waving back is metaphorical.

Society tends to stereotype individuals depending on substantial exteriors, which leads the individual to construct an altered persona depending on the society surrounding; such as family, strangers, teachers, etc. Somewhere along our life span, we have been “labeled” or classified as people we truly aren’t

    Nick says this “what a grotesque thing a rose is.” In reference to Gatsby’s vision of Daisy as he loves a ghost not a person he believes that in five years nothing about her has changed that she, like him, was waiting. This again highlights the theme of how the past cant be repeated. Daisy just loved him for his money and all the gifts he could give her and the temporary affection she could gain to boost her own ego, like pretty much every other person in she could be equated to a ‘parasite’ sucking him dry and then moving on. Daisy perfectly embodies the theme of the shallowness of the

  • In The Cemetery Where Al Jolson Is Buried Analysis

    2017 Words  | 9 Pages

    In reality, the narrator’s friend simply wants the narrator to stay with her overnight; however, the intimacy of her relationship with her sick friend throughout the years seems to have implanted some irrational belief that because her friend is sick, she too will inherit the disease. This further explains her decision to distance herself from her friend and avoid her fear, as well as explains her reaction to the second bed being placed in the room. The line “she wants my life” exposes the narrator’s irrational fear that her friend does not want to be alone in death; that like some mythological creature she has a blood-lust that won’t be satisfied until they are both in coffins. This concept is pushed further when a nurse gives the sick friend an injection that causes her to sleep, and the narrator, who also falls asleep, dreams of her friend decorating her house in bunting and crepe streamers (48). The narrator’s fear of death seems to have subconsciously expanded into the belief that her friend wants her to accompany her beyond the grave in some form of macabre celebration.
