“The Death of Ivan Ilych” starts with death of an Ivan Ilych and it tells us the life, God and death. The “Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl” was a girl born into slavery and it also tells about what are life, and God.

His life flows pleasantly this way until he reaches a threat that takes away his control. In order for a person to be content at the end of their life is “ if we are in control of our careers, mates, children, and bodies, [then] we can live a predictable and powerful life” (Sansom 419).

His life amounts to nothing more than chaos, where “the assumed defense against chaos is more control of relationships, job, environment, emotions, and future” (Sansom 419).
The World War II set film Ivan’s Childhood, directed by Andrei Tarkovsky, is one of the most influential, and lyrical war films ever made. The theme of Ivan’s Childhood is the various dualities that occur in the harrowing reality of war, reality vs. dreams, and the thin line between adulthood and childhood in these harsh realities. Tarkovsky conveys this theme through various camera shots and angles, and gives each scene meaning through these. For example, he used expressionistic camera angles in Ivan’s more terrifying dream sequences such as slow tracking shots through a birch tree forest, use of found footage, close-ups of Ivan, and the final fantasy sequence. There is a distinguishable difference between the real world from Ivan’s dreams
