He realises this and sees how he can relate to the patients and accepts who they are. The play go’s ahead and is a great success. Lewis learns that even though the mental patients are mad, they are people who he admires and takes a genuine interest in their views. Lewis becomes happy with who he is and learns that even though the play was a success it won’t be the difference in the patients going from being “mad” to being “normal”. Louis Nowra uses alliteration in the last line of the play “time to turn out the lights”, a nice way to end Lewis’

While many people know about Bruce Chatwin's untimely death, they know little about his background before becoming a successful author. Chatwin left an impressive career at Sotheby's because of a psychosomatic eye complaint and took this unexpected opportunity to study architecture. During his studies he made several field visits to Africa and Afghanistan and it was during these trips that he had the idea of writing a comprehensive theory of nomadology - his overwhelming interest.

He had loved Martha more than his men, and as consequence Lavender was now dead…” (O’Brien,1990). This epiphany drives Lieutenant Cross to think hard about his situation and make a key decision to focus more on the task at hand and less on his desires. His internal conflict is resolved with burning the pictures and letters of his former love interest. Even though he knows he cannot forget nor will it bring back his lost comrade, he presses forward to become the leader he was entrusted to be.

Honestly, if I had grown up as an oppressed man, with parents who hated one another and died when I was young, I’d probably have been out there on the front lines, crying for whitey’s removal from power (or the planet if possible.). This is only because of my strong emotional responses, which are a curse that many have, including Jimi, who slipped up occasionally, having fired a roadie for his use of the N-word in the presence of Hendrix. This flows into what I consider one of my greatest downfalls, which is my overactive emotional response to the simplest of things.
The word that can sum up many of the themes in the book is position. The word covers themes like class, wealth, social standing, and others. Social standing was very important in The Great Gatsby.

Gatsby's social standing allowed him to be generous, because everyone expected it of him after attending or hearing about one of his lavish parties.
