Imagine a hopeless society where everyone was brainwashed with meaningless technology, books were strictly forbidden, and the true meaning of life was long forgotten. For Montag, that is society was very real. The central idea of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, conveyed by the themes of the sections — awakening, seeking knowledge and truth, and rebirth— is that independent thought can help to overcome great obstacles, which is what leads Montag to step away from the wasteland of modern society to where he truly wanted to be. The first section, “The Hearth and the Salamander”, is where Montag begins to break away from being like an average person in society. The hearth has long been a comforting symbol of home.
There are several different stages to being a scavenger. The first is the New Scavenger, who is filled with disgust and self loathing and very ashamed to be seen Diving into Dumpsters. In which case they may try to lurk around, duck behind things or may even try to Dive at night, even though most people look away from scavengers and lurking only calls attention to themselves. The second stage comes with experience and the scavenger stops hating themselves. They begin to think they have the last laugh because they are finding perfectly good things in the Dumpsters and begin hanging on to things that they have no need of.
At last I am safe under tent on Jordan Point, very tired and soon fast asleep. Rest and vitamin-I heal all wounds. I had sited my evening tent three feet from the waterline, but awoke to find myself mere inches from same. The vast eleven thousand square mile James’ drainage is still flexing her Nor’easter-nourished floodtide. I have risen at 5:30, determined to make wind-free miles on a glass-surfaced river.
Staying at home | |with her two small sons, she was the ultimate earth mother, gardening, canning fruits and vegetable, | |making her son’s clothes, stitching and knitting. “I macramed two hammocks,” she admits now. “I needed | |help.” | |That help came in the form of a blizzard in February 1979, which left her stranded at home for a week. | |In an age without four-wheel drive vehicles, getting down the hillside from where she lived was | |impossible. Morning kindergarten was canceled for a week.
was now a grotesque jumble of unconnected letters. It was such a senseless, childish act of vandalism that Jerry was more awed than angered. Who’d do such a crazy thing? Looking down, he saw that his new gym sneakers had been slashed, the canvas now limp shreds, rag-like. He’d make the mistake of leaving them here overnight.
McLaren Divvying A home that echoes five lifetimes is sequentially hollowed. Bulky, anonymous men and their trolleys bare walls and reveal tabs of pristine carpet. Dust takes flight in panic; unprepared and entirely disorientated as its empire is dismantled. On to unfamiliar ledges, lintels and landings it settles in surrender. Lint, litter and lost things rest in intermittent rows along the skirting – the secret stashes of now removed side boards and book cases.
You are no longer human, but instead hopelessly trapped inside your human body. You watch helplessly as your stomach consumes your head, but it doesn't matter anymore. You need to escape your human body using any means possible. You feel more lonely, worthless, and pitiful than you have ever felt in your entire life. Narration I balance the little tab of paper on my fingertip.
18 March 2012 WALL-E We see from the very beginning that WALL-E (there is even a BNL LOGO on WALL-E's chest plate) has been dejected and left isolated on a repugnant planet. “WALL-E's old treads are threadbare.” “Practically falling apart.” (Stanton, A., and P. Docter. "WALL-E." Transcript p.2) His emotions showed through of being lonesome. Yet, he seemed to be contented with his state of affairs, of cleaning earth and building his masterpiece out of the rubble. As the movie opens we see the Earth covered in dust, filth, and wreckage, yet we see a 700-year-old WALL-E robot that was making something picturesque out of its obnoxiousness.
“Homecoming” is told in third person voice and is rich with poetic devices. There is true irony in the symbolic title “Homecoming” as the soldiers most definitely do not return in celebration. The repetitive ”home, home, home” conveys the soldiers wish and emotional ties.”They’re zipping them up in green plastic bags” provides grim mental imagery as well as evoking a sense of horror and anguish. The paradox at the poem’s end "they're bringing them home, now, too late, too early" supports the notion of a senseless loss of life. This is a universal theme relevant to all ages as most everyone has had experience with death and
It’s been 1 day, 21 hours, and 43 minutes since I last put anything but water or diet soda into my body. My body aches, and my eyes droop with lack of sleep. Just smile and keep strong. It’s only two hours then you can go home and sleep. You’re doing so well.
