274 Words2 Pages

Many people in this world are influential. Good or bad their words are shared across everywhere they wish. However, there is a man I believe is the most inspirational person in my life. The man in question? Gene Wilder. Gene Wilder made me see how precious life really is and how short our lives are on this small planet. Gene Wilder once said,“Time is a precious thing, never waste it.” Now, I know this is a pretty dim quote, but Gene wilder just wanted us to know how our days on this planet are limited, and that we should live our lives to the fullest. Gene Wilder has also said,”A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.” Obviously, he wanted to tell us that even when we grow up and become adults that we should not completely give up on having fun or being wild. Lastly, Gene Wilder said,”It 's only with the heart that one can see clearly. What …show more content…

Annie Dillard’s essay “Sight into Insight” emphasizes how one must live in the moment and not sway towards others opinions in order to gain accurate observations on a situation. She uses nature as a prominent theme in her essay to represent the thought of looking past the superficial obvious in order to go deeper to where the hidden beauty rests. Dillard wants the reader to realize in order to observe clearly you have to live in the moment and let go of the knowledge you think you know on the situation. Dillard uses the example of her “walking with a camera vs walking without one” (para.31) and how her own observations differed with each. When she walked with the camera she “read the light” (para.31), and when she didn’t “light printed” (para.31).

Ralph Ellison conveys this message in many forms in the novel.
