The themes that occur every day and in the novel “Destroying Avalon” and the film “The Colour Purple” are death/loss, bullying and relationships. Death/loss is something that occurs every day in society and people must overcome it to move on with their lives. Death is an equaliser to mankind regardless of our social structure, we all view death as a sadness because it is the end of our physical relationships. However the death of a young person is what creates the most despair for those who are left behind. For example in “Destroying Avalon” Avalon had to face the death of her best friend Marshall who took his own life because of being bullied for so many years and not letting anyone to support him through his tough times.
“Electricidad” play is about a young girl, the main title character, who is suffering over the death of her father. She also finds out that her mother, Clemencia, is the one who stand behind her father’s crime. Electricidad knows Clemencia also murdered her brother, Orestes who has been sent to Las Vegas by his father. At some point, I think the major conflict of the play is whether or not Electricidad will get her revenge against her mother no matter what. She loves her father too much that she could not let go of her father’s dead body and at the same time; she could not believe that her father is actually dead.
Do the characters get what they deserve in the End? During the novella of mice and men Curley’s wife is alienated, spoken behind her back, called vile names and singled out from the rest of the ranch, since she is the only woman there. Throughout the novella she is constantly giving hints on how lonely she is even in her own marriage, by the end of the book she is accidentally killed and freed from the life she so dearly hated. However, another view on her death could be negative since when she dies she does not get the life she deserves for being kept in a place she doesn’t want to stay or even she does deserve her death since she is vile for not committing to her marriage vows by being a coquette. Curley’s wife is clearly a very unhappy
Hitler, Stalin, and the Bomb Hitler and Stalin both share the dubious distinction of being two of the most destructive figures throughout all of history. The atrocities committed between the two of them against innocent people runs up into the millions. With Hitler, his rage was derived from his disdain to any Jewish person around believe that they truly were inferior to him. Stalin had a deep fear of people rising up against him and killed a mass amount of his own people just to suppress that fear that the people in his country might soon rebel against him. During the time period in which their reigns each occurred, nuclear science was starting to make some of its biggest discoveries in history.
Taking control of my choices and not being a victim of the change life is going to throw at me is another role that is important on my way to success. If l let life get me off course I am going to have a hard time getting focused and getting back on track so it is best for me and others to avoid it before it happens. Also having a good self-image will help me understand my self even more. If I know what is going on inside the world and out, it will help me to stay on course and on a good road to success. Another thing would be to know how to understand my tolerance for risk and how to push past barriers and other obstacles that will be in my path to success.
Life is created with the fate and with chances that we need to take on our own. Chance is just like luck. As we say sometimes that it is our luck in certain things, so chance is one of them. If we don’t take chances, we won’t be able to see what’s ahead. In life, the chances we take will help us make our pathway to the roads that we need to take for whatever we chose to do.

All they end up doing though is becoming another casualty, another statistic, dying in a war that had no real reason. The only thing those soldiers ended up doing was proving that war truly is futile. What about the families of those dead soldiers? Are they comforted by the fact that their family members are incredibly brave? No, they are not, all they know is that their son or brother is gone, and the only reason for their loss, is a war which is completely futile, a pointless war which destroyed an entire generation.
The poet has described the gruesome reality of the first nuclear explosion and its power to destroy the whole human race. This bombing wiped out two cities and millions died. However, Japan endured the calamity, rose up, (bit by bit my strength/Seemed to revive) and rebuilt their shattered city and their world. Thus, we can conclude that “A Doctor’s Journal Entry for August 6, 1945” is an anti-war poem. It talks about
This widespread extreme censorship of books eventually led to the downfall of the society and I realized that my definition of dystopia must be broadened from freedom of choice to include restricting intellectualism or self expression. One interesting thing to note here is that the society in this novel actually gets destroyed literally and left to rebuild. The idea of these violent or otherwise consequences in literature and media depicting dystopic societies happens time and time again. The dystopia in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is mainly about the aftermath and fallout of a nuclear war, but it also examines the oppression of androids and the treatment they receive from society. In this post-apocalyptic world, where the extreme radiation from the nuclear fallout has destroyed nearly every form of life, companies began creating artificial animals and humans that takes the form of androids.
