Thesis Statement For Walk Two Moon

In the beginning of the film, viewers realize fairly quickly who the two main characters are because of the dramatic fighting between Vivi Abbott Walker and her daughter, Siddalee Walker. In the start of the film viewers assume or believe Vivi Walker is an over dramatic high class southern mother. Vivi was high string and acted like a child when it came to fighting with her daughter. Siddalee came off as more of the laid back creative type because she is a play writer. The first phone call viewers see between Vivi and Sidalee is very different from the average phone calls between a mother and daughter because Sidalee is begging her fiancé not to answer the phone because she knew it would be her mother. Her mother is acting like she is dying over what Sidalee said about her in the Time’s magazine. When Sidalee finally

“What behind your eyes holds more power than what in front of them,” Gary Zukav a four time consecutive New York Times Best Seller once said. In other words, each situation has multiple different views because as humans we choose what we want to see. The continuous or subconscious decision to see or not see something is directly influenced by one 's sense and surrounds affects what someone understands. This comprehension of what happening is commonly known as perception. Since perception can either impede or enhance a situation either way it is better to look at the positive side of things.

A famous quote says, “Fate decides who comes into your life. Your heart decides who stays.” There is no changing the people that are put in your path. Meeting them is inevitable, maybe even destiny. However, it is only by choice whether or not those people remain in that path. In many examples of literature, this view of fate and destiny can be seen and applied. Other pieces may argue that personal choice guides the human way of living. In Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One, Cline shows that fate plays a role through the isolation of Wade’s life, Halliday’s egg hunt, and the serendipitous meeting of Parzival and Art3mis.

“Through the Tunnel” illustrates the importance of having control in life but still utilizing a “backup” plan in times of need. Jerry began as a child that was dependent on his mother but, as the story built itself, forced his mother to give him a leash. Letting him go to the bay alone was an idea that the mother resented, but saw it as necessary for him in this time of shift from dependence to independence. These thoughts appear the most evident after the mother thinks, “...he’s old enough to be safe without me. Have I been keeping him too close?...I must be careful.” (page 243). After discovering the tunnel and deciding he wanted to venture through it, Jerry started his “training” (holding his breath) to accomplish the unknown feat. He took the challenge into his own hands, he controlled it. Although having total control is a good lesson to learn, having a back plan or person can come in handy in times of need. The rocks were a dangerous place, the boys and Jerry could have cut themselves, they could have hit their heads on a rock, or they could have drowned. While at those rocks, Jerry glanced back at the “kid” beach and wondered where his mother was at. Showing this through the text made it appear as if Jerry was making sure he had a place to go to for comfort even though he was all out trying to become an adult. On page 244, “...he floated on the buoyant surface and looked for his mother. There she was…” this idea showed that he was looking for his mother and this occurred again on page 246, “...he swam out to where he could see his mother. Yes, she was still there…”. Both of these quotes from the story showed the importance of being reassured that his “backup” plan (his mom) was always there where he could reach her. A recurring theme throughout the story can consist of being in control of your actions and your life, but also being reassured and knowing that someone will be there for help if you need

We are constantly suffering and enjoying life on an almost daily basis. Sometimes, life could seem to be a real challenge, a real enemy, due to its downbeat features. On the other hand, there are also a handful of positive and joyful elements of life. In “On the Road”, Kerouac suggests that suffering is what makes one realize the meaning of life and thus, one must experience the negative aspects and harsh times in life, being beaten down, in order to appreciate every single moment of the present (here and now) in order to then reach the beatific aspect of life. He illustrates this statement by using examples of the Fellaheen people, the importance of seizing the moment and through the usage of the words “beaten down” and “beatific”
