Staying

Unlike others, he wanted to make his dreams come true, hence making him different. He becomes self reliant and believes in his own potential to make his wishes a success. Once he followed his own dreams, he soon, then focuses on himself. Without his Transcendental belief, he did live his desires and

Siddhartha always had a clear goal, a clear path. He had an idea of how he was going to achieve his goal right from the start, this helps his journey meet a positive end. McCandless never really had a clear idea of what he was trying to achieve. In the end it can be said that these stories compliment one another in a sense that reading McCandless’ story really brings a relatability to Siddhartha that it didn't have before. Into the wild really pulls Siddartha into modern terms and you realize that both characters really had the same goal in mind: to escape the constraints of materialism and worldly desires in search of a greater understanding of true

In Susan Wolf’s article “The Meaning of Lives” she argues a meaningful life is engaged in positive projects to some degree of success. She also believes that the pursuits with meaning have an objective value that connects with the rest humanity. Susan Wolf’s did not write about her thoughts on the concept of plugging oneself into an experience machine like described by Christopher Grau in “Bad Dreams, Evil Demons, and the Experience Machine”, but her argument for what gives meaning to a life makes it clear that she would argue someone should choose to not plug in. The reason a person would choose to plug into an experience machine is because they could live out all of their fantasies and avoid all the discomfort experienced in real life. But

But I don't want you to do it if you don't really want to. " But he follows it with and if I do it you'll be happy and things will be like they were and you'll love me?

He does not have a hamartia and his downfall proved to have no greater purpose. While it is true that in modern times, the tragic hero may be seen differently than when Aristotle first defined him/her, and some characteristics have the capability to be tweaked to accommodate modern society, there are concrete parts to a tragic hero that cannot change and must be present in order for a literary character to be labeled as

Although Finding Nemo did not fit every step, it adhered to the main basis of Campbell’s theory. The main character experienced an adventure, gained

While the play presents Laertes and Hamlet with similar dilemmas,

Hamlet trust remained in Horatio, and at no recognizable point did Hamlet allow the presence of his father’s memory skew that perceptions. This theme of memory speaks on the power memory must influence the way one perceives the world. And it also highlights the negative impacts of memory, and how it could blind or cloud one’s judgement of others. Hamlet willing relinquished his memories of the

As their relationship strenghthens Huck sees Jim as less of a slave and more of a human being. This humanizes Jim and takes away his title of “slave” in many ways by showing that he and Huck were not much different. In conclusion, I blieve that Twain intended to point out that freedom is not something that can be defined by a whole. Freedom is whatever each person makes for themselves.

I wanted to show the audience how brave David was to continue doing what he loves and does best on his own without being pushed down by his much loved but pushy unpleasant father Peter. Although Shine was to take the audience to another place it was also to make the audience realise that there is a battle against ache and sadness but there is always a way to go to better places with determination for life and happiness. David has an amazing and talented but different story and I wanted to let others know and be touched by the life journey of David Helfgott. Why did you choose to open the film with the image of David’s face highlighting his mouth, which showed him heavily mumbling? I chose to open the film in this way to immediately capture viewers attention by

Nurture dictates the influences of our parents and/or guardians remain favorable in our futures, oftentimes persevering the cycle with our own children (Conley 126). It took physical experience to discover the truth behind a cultural mythology I previously deemed factual. Occasionally, a cultural norm cannot be proved as fact nor fiction; it can only be answered through solid argumentation. If I had the ability to do it all over again, I am not sure I would take it. The ignorance and innocence of my childhood brings serenity to me whenever I recall it: I would not give that feeling up for

“Richard Cory” by Edwin Robinson was published in 1897. Richard is described as a classy, well liked, and rich gentleman.

However; this is all we know of Mr. Richard Cory. “Richard Cory” is an outside look into an unknown, but interesting life.

Have you ever been astounded by someone's actions that may seem so absurd and without any reasoning behind it? George Wilson, may have not been in the right mind, but nothing justifies a murder. The upper class, fraud of a lifestyle, in East Egg, has come to reality and their actions become costly. I believe George Wilson is guilty of Gatsby’s death.
