The object of interest – the glowing wall – is focused. This central perspective is also used when Louise and Ian are in the decontamination chamber (Figure 40).

There is a lot of talk about illusion versus reality. Many people believe that we are all living in some sort of dream and that this is all an illusion and that we are not in a reality. In the two works Plato’s Allegory of the Cave by Jeff Stickney, and the movie The Truman Show, 1999, directed by Peter Weir, both show the same concept of illusion versus reality through similarities and differences through the setting, the plot, and the display of characters.

Long distance relationships can be hard, especially when transportation was as bad as it was. With the roads poorly made mixed with the bad weather made it hard for anyone to get anywhere. Another example of not everything going your way would be when Frederic’s knee got injured. Not only did he get dropped many times while on his stretcher while getting loaded into the ambulance
