World Lit The significance of the dreams that the main character has in Herman Hesse’s Siddhartha, and their importance to his self-‐realiza:on.

The movie was an emotional drama correlated with comic situations and a happy ending. “The King's Speech” illustrated Henry-The Duke of York on his journey to become the King of England. Henry struggling with his speech impairment managed to build long lasting relationship with- Lionel Logue, his speech therapist. An indication of a long lasting relationship between Albert and Lionel was illustrated at the Lincoln Cathedral where Collin and archbishop-Derek Jacobi had an argument.

The theorist, Sigmund Freud, was born in Vienna, Austria in the year 1856. Being the firstborn in a family of eight, he was fond of his mother because she seemed compassionate and kind more than his father, who appeared to be strict. However, his father’s strictness and responsibility helped him to discover Sigmund’s intelligence, prompting him to send him to school (Driskell, 2009). After graduating from the University of Vienna, he furthered his education to become a lecturer at the same university, where he started his research on the connection between behavior and the psychological environment. His study led to the realization that humans have impulses and drives and that each of these elements is triggered by internal and external environments.
