Clearly it talks about whether or not life can have a purpose, and if so, what that purpose might be. But it may have an even more fundamental subject. Can it be an accident that the story is about an unbreakable bond between two men, both of whom are only half-human? In the study guide to Monkey, I suggest that a reader may need to combine all the spiritual travelers on the road to the West to get one human being. The story then provides a working map of the human character.
It is reports that they drink liquor and break windows. And they no longer believe in elephants” (Imprints, 106). This is criticizing the government by saying they are untrustworthy, and when lied to by your own powers, you lose faith in control by them.

Clay Q. American School- The Namesake- Monkey- Theme: Identity fixed or definable Though the various cultures studied thus far are undoubtedly separated, be it through imaginary boundaries, the construct of multiple religions, or perhaps, through physical differences and the natural circumstance of existence, each story and individual author present certain patterns and themes which correlate with one another when taking a macro approach to interpreting the text. That being said, I selected three stories of which the authors arguably employ, or at least share the theme of “Identity beingFixed or Definable.” While comparing authors from Japanese, Chinese, and Indian cultures may seem difficult because of historical diversity and varying timescales attached to each, the selected stories (American School, Monkey, & The Namesake) both question and construct Identity using a variety of characters who interact internally as a means of connecting the reader to the emotions of the protagonist. The “American School” was Kojima Nobuo’s snapshot of post WWII in the eyes of struggling Japanese citizens, specifically the Japanese “English” teacher Isa and his companions. In this story, the author uses irony and symbolism to construct “Identity” and Isa’s actions determine the fixity of cultural identifiers such as language and communication. As the “anti-hero” Isa is symbolically struggling with a choice, and in light of the occupying force, he embodies the essence of what many Japanese citizens probably faced in post WWII japan.
And, of course, the “you’re my role model,” belief that we always have in our subconscious when we see someone we think is “cool” doing something. These are also known Pathos, Logos and Ethos appeals. In the print ads (that will be referred to as Kardashian and Monkey) we can identify aspects of Logos, Ethos and Pathos used to persuade us into taking attention to their cause. While the Kardashian advertisement’s main emphasis is ethos, the Monkey ad’s emphasis is Pathos. Both with different approaches, while neither use a logos path to emphasize their point.
His scheming and plotting is one of the main elements that grab the attention of the reader. I also noticed something that reinforced my suspicions about Pandarus having ulterior motives. In line 77, we read "Now Janus, god of entree, thow hym gyde!". I'm not sure about what "god of entree" means, but I do know that Janus is a "two-faced God". Is the use of this reference meant to imply something about the character of Pandarus?

Though he dismissed Freudian theory that stated that human personality was defined by their sexual drive and desires, he established that we have 2 states of unconscious. A personal unconscious which he agreed held emotions and desires, but he also proposed the existence of a collective unconscious which is where all the archetypes were stored. He believed that there was just more to humans that just sexual drive. He also left a great deal of impact on psychotherapy by starting the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Abraham Maslow was influenced by Harry Harlow who had conducted the Rhesus Monkey Study which suggested that a lack of contact comfort is psychologically stressful for rhesus monkey when separated from their mothers.
Act 1.ii.8-11 It is generally considered that faith in palmistry, auspicious-times, and astrology is a result of one’s belief in superstition. Another example of superstition found in the play is the soothsayer. Here, a soothsayer warns Caesar to ‘Beware the ides of March.’ (Act1.ii.25), but he laughs at the soothsayer in disbelief of his prediction and brands him a dreamer. While he is prone to believe the power of the Roman god of fertility, he is prone to disbelieve, with contempt, the soothsayer’s prediction. It is puzzling to note why Caesar is making this difference.
Mythology reflects the cultural and belief elements. By examination of the heroes, tricksters, the creation and the afterlife of the myths of different mythologies, some similarity can be detected. By comparing the Ancient Greek, the native African, the Mesopotamian and the Biblical mythologies, many common belief symbols can be summarized: the human challenge to the God, the human’s reflection of their sinful behaviors, the desire to perform over the human limit, the fear for the almighty power, the desire to explain the world origination and the different destinations for the faithful and unfaithful. Firstly, the fear for the almighty power is one of the original motivations for the existence of all the mythologies, which can be found in different mythologies. All the Gods own the almighty power over human beings and other creatures on earth.
