In the movie of Strangers Than Fiction; Harold Crick is a senior agent for Internal Revenue Service is a very “impeccable” person always on time and very “punctual” by the very seconds of the day! In this movie I have noticed the true moral of life, and how life can change no matter how perfect an individual is or how adjacent the individual keeps the ethics of life. This was most dominantly symbolized in the movie of Strangers Than Fiction. The ‘green apple’ that was shown near the resolution of the movie would exemplify, growth and knowledge. I see this as a more logical perspective because Harold lives like a grown and mature man always on time and follows the rules and make sure that people pay their taxes. Harold shows evidence of this …show more content…
A watch has a very deep meaning in an individual's life because a watch reflects an individual's status or achievements in one's life. In addition, a watch can also signify the time of life that one has on Earth till the afterlife and the ticking of a watch can mirror one’s heart beat. To Harold, a watch would mean being punctual and efficient in his life. Innocence has played a big role in Harold's life because he is always alone, except work, but he never communicated outside work, in terms of making friends. Furthermore, Harold then meets Jules Hilbert a Professor and a lifeguard at the pool, when he discovers a voice or a narrator and asks him for help on how to medicate it or know what it defines. In the difficult situation, Harold always went to Hilbert for help deal with his situation and I believe that Hilbert would embody God. I think of this because Hilbert is a lifeguard and a Professor and in different terms indulgent and an instructor these at some characteristics of God. Harold goes and asks help from Hilbert which would indicate asking God for help figuratively. To conclude, Harold’s dynamic and changing life, evolved throughout the film and he started to view the world as a normal human being instead of the pure life and this emphasized that an individual can't always keep innocence and

The Analysis of the Stranger, John Wilson in The Secret Lives of Sgt. John Wilson Heroes in literary works were once referred to as the "rebel"; however, the rebel has been replaced by the "stranger" in recent literature. In Lois Simmie's The Secret Lives of Sgt. John Wilson, the novel centers on the title character who is alienated, disaffected and an outsider. The author’s depiction of the central character of Wilson as a stranger engages the reader in a different way, by having the reader want to know more about this mysterious and striking figure.
Rachel shows independent and good faith to John by teaching him how to be a mature man. She gives him a watch for Christmas which is a gift that he is happy to receive and cherish. She stated, “It'll be nice to have someone around the house who can give me the right time of day.” (Agee et al. 93).
But once a life or death situation emerges, Harold needs help from others, he needs to create a community for himself. He finds a friend in his coworker Dave, a romantic partner in his auditee Ana Pascal, and an expert on his current problem in Professor Jules Hilbert. Though Harold was able to coast through most of his life by himself, without these people he wouldn 't have survived.

I believe that apathy and indifference does not contribute positively towards productivity because having a lack of interest and no ambition does not help one to succeed in a long term goal. Even though apathy can lead to getting work done, it still is not working to someone 's advantage. In my opinion being apathetic and indifferent does not fulfill a long and purposeful life. This is because apathy has many negative connotations like low ambition, weak social life, and unhappiness. In The Stranger by Albert Camus, the protagonist, Meursault is a man who has each of these qualities, and lives a very boring and uninteresting life.
If we were able to make our children smarter, better looking, or more athletic, should we? Amy Sterling Casil had that exact scenario in mind when she wrote her short story, Perfect Stranger in 2006. Written in the first-person narrative that takes place in the distant future, Casil weaves a terrifying story of genetic alteration to “fix” our children’s flaws. What harm can it cause if gene therapy is performed as an elective procedure rather than medical necessity? Gary and Carolyn, expecting parents, find out their little boy will need gene therapy while still in the womb if they hope to spare him from a fatal heart condition.
Then he realizes that he was not going to stay with his money when he die. At the end, he helped his employee with a monetary situation. Further, he went to his nephew’s Christmas dinner. Significantly, this novel helps people retrain the meaning of being humble and kind with others. Something that is very important about this novel is that it teaches a lesson of helping others, because you are not going to stay with your money when you die.
Doing this makes his words, his lessons on the Meaning of Life more likely to be absorbed by the readers of the novel, just as Mitch absorbed them during his time talking to his dying professor. He calls out how preposterous the common fear of aging is, pointing out how
From the beginning, he guides the protagonist through a midlife crisis that is almost sure to go wrong. He is a wealthy man, lost in a suspicious part of town in an expensive car. This has trouble written all over it. People in these areas are desperate for money, and robbing a rich man in his Mercedes-Benz would be a more than possible event that could ensue. Most fatal of all however, and most ironic of all, is that “[he is so] intent upon the future that…
The contrast between the apathy of the authority figure (as a result of their job not having real-life consequences) to Cohen’s experience (where his action does have consequences) conveys the relationship between an individual and an
