Argument Assay In the story “the flying Machine” by Ray Bradbury, the emperor executed an inventor because he had made a machine which could fly. The reason for this was that he wanted to protect his kingdom and keep peace for as long as possible. The emperor was not justified in killing the inventor of the flying machine. Some people argue that the emperor carried out this act for the benefit of his kingdom. This is true to some extent, for if his enemies did hear about a machine which could fly they would try very hard to get one.

The Old Soviet concept that Airstrip One abide to makes all the decisions for its civilians, leaving people with freedom to not have to choose. This resulted in constant scrutiny where even thoughts are monitored by the thought police. While some, those who over rely on authority, may find it gratifying of its presence for it will ensure them to not go astray from the party, others see the true purpose behind this act. As Winston said “thoughtcime does not entail death: thoughtcrime IS death”, it is evident that he sees the limitation possessed in this “security”. He wants to rebel to break out of the encapsulation, he wants the freedom TO choose.
Facing his fears, he enters the tunnels multiple times. His paradoxical nature means that he would continue to fight in the war to stop it. In “Avatar” Jake is forced to fight against his own race. After experiencing Na’vi life, Jake believes that the humans are the ones that are wrong. After Jake breaks out of solitary confinement by the humans, Jake risks everything by taming the Great Leonopteryx, a feat only five have done before him, to win the trust of the Omaticaya.
During obsessed the time of 1950s, the paranoia regarding the threat of Communist infiltration and the subsequent corruption of the American way of life named the Red Scare and driven by Senator Joseph McCarthy. This caused people to be fearful of communism, the equality in everyone, and made them lose their individuality. The deadliness of the streets is evidenced by the use of metaphor, “and it was not unequal to walking through a graveyard.” By describing the streets as graveyard, it portrays that the citizens are dead and Leonard Mead is the only one alive, confirming the value of the sign of life coming from the various robots and devices that took over daily human routine. This idea is reinforced through the use of simile, “The tombs, ill-lit by television light, where the people sat like the dead, the gray or multi-coloured lights touching their faces.” This describes the life of the citizens as lifeless and asleep. This shows the power of technology as everyone is at home watching TV and refusing to do other things such as socialising or exercising.
So if someone dies, they are alive in another moments. Another consequence of war turns the person into an impassiveness personality which causes the person to not care about their loved ones deaths. “So it goes” also represents what Tralfamadorians believe in. Tralfamadorians also believe in moments and they provide Billy a peace of mind. The Tralfamadorians were a metaphor to compare how mentally ill a person must be to create aliens, and change time, all just to justify war.
The adage, “History repeats itself” may seem hackneyed but it is indeed true. Many instances of history show that the powerful can do what they wish. The Monroe Doctrine and the dropping of the Atomic Bomb are just a few of the instances. The strong can do what they wish because they use their wealth, social status, and military prowess to manipulate others. For example, in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Great Gatsby, Tom and Daisy ruthlessly ruin other people’s lives; however, their wealth and high social rank allow them to avoid punishment.
“Katherine has admitted it, confessed.” Katherine’s fear of losing her life motivated her to confess that her and a few others were telepathic. First she had a fear about her abilities being found out but then she had to fear her life if she did not tell the norms what was so different about her and why she was running away. “I’ve killed him Michael. He’s quite dead.” Rosalind’s fears lead her to kill a man, yet she felt so guilty about it, although they tortured many of her kind. She may have felt guilty as she thought the norms would find out that she killed the man and then they would kill her.
What one perceives as being abnormal and crazy may seem normal to another and vice versa. Why exactly do some people consider some behavior and actions to be abnormal while others deem them rational? It also seems that society is very quick to shun anyone different and very willing to accept those same people when they change themselves to become the same thing as everyone else: boring, mindless robots controlled by a greater power composed of a few who want the world to be under their control. Ken Kesey, author of the acclaimed novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, examines these thoughts and questions about sanity and madness with different characters from his novel. During the time period of the 1960’s and for years after, people were often considered insane or abnormal when they were different.
Humans are so firm in their belief that they themselves have the power to change their lives, but this power is imaginary and they are simply taking the only path they can because we are all “bugs trapped in amber”. Human beings are slaves to predestination. The Tralfamdorians again express their disbelief in free will at the end of Chapter Four, when Billy how he got on the Tralfamadorian saucer. The plunger shaped alien expresses, “It would take another Earthling to explain it to you. Earthlings are great explainers, explaining why this event is structured as it is, telling how other events may be achieved or avoided.
