When David makes the decision to stay and listen in on his parent's mysterious adult conversation, he knows he shouldn’t but being a young adventurous boy, oblivious of the cruel and unforgiving grown world, he stays back and listens to his parents reveal a side of the dark adult world David had not yet known about. “...a part of me said leave, get away, run, now before it's too late. Before everything changes. But I pressed myself closer to the house and hung on.” This idea of a curious child that just wants a little taste of the mysterious and yet unknown adult life relates to the universal idea of growing up.
Differing to the societies of these ongoing “Unmentionable Times”, the world at large in the City’s time has constricting laws and controls that “bettered” the society. The inanity of the people in Ayn Rand’s Anthem shows how the whole of the laws and the controls of the City allow for the abolishment of the intellectual and psychological distinctiveness of the citizens and to replace it with a draconian net of collectivism and altruism. Throughout the story, a man named Equality 7-2521 becomes conscious of how the laws are turned against the progression that he wants. Equality grasps that loneliness is not the evil in society, but the never-ending nearness to everybody is the flaw of the society.
From finding forgiveness to admitting their wrongs. In the beginning they had their faults in which they made up for leaving them stronger as people. Starting out with a lot of pain and sorrow and leaving with a better outlook on their lives. The characters were important to this play to show that people can be wrong, and that people can mess up and find their way back. It shows that people can change for the better and admit when they do something wrong in the midst of their lives.
He, even in her eyes, is not perfect, however they love each other mutually. For once, one of Janie’s husbands is not trying to dominate and make himself superior. Janie states this mutual love for him at their relationship’s beginning by saying, “he could be a bee to a blossom — a pear tree blossom in the spring”(Hurston ). At last, the mutual relationship like a bee and blossom is possible, both benefit and neither feels left out. He teaches her to shoot, hunt, play checkers, and work outside.
The characters perceptions of the meaning of love differ vastly, leading them to lose sight of love’s meaning or purpose.
When peering into one of her most well known poems, To My Dear and Loving Husband, Bradstreet writes “My love is such that rivers cannot quench, Nor ought, but love from thee, give recompense.” Bradstreet explains how much she loves her husband, that he is everything to her, and hopefully she is everything to him, that even though they have their differences, they love each other and make one another happy. This contrasts with today's social norms, or personal preferences. Generally, people of today have a hard time enjoying ones company when said company has different beliefs or ideologies. Politics are very popular in today's society, and have created a tension between members of society.
As Janie sees “a dust-bearing bee sink into the sanctum of a bloom”, she witnesses the “thousand sister-calyxes arch to meet the love embrace and the ecstatic shiver of the tree from root to tiniest branch creaming in every blossom.” (Hurston 11) To her, this is deemed “marriage” ; it is a merger of two, a union of matrimony and she aims to fully grasp such a sensation. Taken back by the thrill of it all, Janie manages to formulate her own perceptions of what true love must be like; raw and passionate within the moment, like the bees and pear blossoms. Elated at most, she then shares a brief moment with neighborhood-friendly, Johnny Taylor, a young man who she begins to develop sexual feelings for.
Grover's Corners has an immensely strong sense of community. The tight bond between community members helps with fostering a healthy society during the time period. As simply said by the stage manager of the play, “In our town, we like to know the facts about everybody” (Wilder Act I). The strong sense of community may be misleading to its members. They believe that they know everything there is to know about everyone.
In the play “Topdog Underdog” by Susan-Lozi Parks, when factors such as the relationship between parents in a family dynamic are not upheld it causes a catastrophic effect on individuals that makes the way they view themselves and the external world and can shape their behaviors. These factors can also bring forth changes in how they live
In particular, Corso’s structure, examples that encourage tone, and theme can help us understand Updike’s story in a clearer way. Corso organizes his thoughts in a similar way throughout the entirety of the poem. While the author clearly depicts the features of a marriage, acknowledging both the positive and negative aspects, he does not fail to include how these features contribute to the experience of a committed relationship. The author uses a set topic to establish structure in his poem, but then follows up his statement with a counter-argument that presents the opposite point of view. For example, Corso begins his stanza by reflecting, “Grocery store Blue Cross Gas & Electric Knights of Columbus / Impossible to lie back and dream
MIP Rough Draft The play “Hamlet” by William Shakespeare and the book, “The Handmaids Tale” by Margaret Atwood, both create a fall of power in society and this loss of leadership opens the door for corruption to take over. Both authors have created this instability in society and use the motifs: loss of power, religion, and relationships to explore characters’ innermost selves. This exploration of characters proves that one will submit to anything in order to obtain stability in a corrupt environment. Both Shakespeare and Margaret Atwood immediately pull the rug out beneath from the characters in their work, creating instability not only in the character’s mind but in the reader’s mind as well.
In 2016, we are so fortunate to have choices and to find our worth in countless places: in our jobs, our families, our friends, our communities, our children and in relationship to ourselves.
