Ray’s love for science fiction is undeniable. One of his books that really show his love for science fiction is, Fahrenheit 451. In the book Fahrenheit 451, a powerful quote that really stuck out to me was, “And when he died, I suddenly realized I wasn’t crying for him at all, but for the things he did. I cried because he would never do them again, he would never carve another piece of wood or help us raise doves and pigeons in the backyard or play the violin the way he did, or tell us jokes the way he did. He was part of us and when he died, all the actions stopped dead and there was no one to do them the way he did.
That’s why I don’t like, hate it even though those stories were so lame. In Conclusion, I hope I never get old and greedy like a republican. People should follow the ideas of transcendentalism and use romanticism in their creative forte, it will help make the world a better place or whatever it’s cool
He sparsely uses punctuation, which creates the illusion that the rules and conventions of writing do not matter in this post-apocalyptic world; it creates a sense of disorder as the importance of the ‘normal’ means nothing anymore. McCarthy doesn’t use apostrophes in his writing; ‘dont’ is the word he uses in place of ‘don’t.’ This relates to the theme of disorder as McCarthy is revealing to the reader that it is such a ‘barren, silent, godless’ world there is no hope for the previous code returning anytime soon. McCarthy’s lack of punctuation, including commas, gives his sentences a running feel: ‘He dreamt of walking in a flowering wood where birds flew before them he and the child and the sky was aching blue but he was learning how to wake himself from just such siren worlds.’ The lack of commas reflects the ‘barren’ land as there is a desolate mood to the sentences. This also reveals that McCarthy wants the character of the man to be seen as a man who is solely focused on looking after and caring for his son and information he would previously have had a care for are not important anymore. The opening of The Road quickly
He states that life is “come easy go easy”, meaning that life is not guaranteed and can be taken at any time. He also says that they live like humans used to and that they are now to uptight and worry about what everyone thinks, more of a social norm. The idea of living so short is insensible to Archy. He doesn’t understand the moth’s reasoning until after the moth “immolated himself.” All of Archy’s lines are very logical and thought out which very much explains his conservative personality especially this stanza: i do not agree with him myself i would rather have half the happiness and twice the longevity The idea of living so short is insensible to Archy. He doesn’t understand the moth’s reasoning until after the moth “immolates himself.” He then sees a small understanding of the moth’s life.
The fact Gatsby does not turn his lights on and does not have a party shows that something is really wrong. In The Great Gatsby, light is used to set the mood, Tom thinks, “For a moment the last sunshine fell with romantic affection upon her glowing face; her voice compelled me forward breathlessly as I listened- then the glow faded, each light deserting her with lingering regret, like children leaving a pleasant street at dusk.” (Fitzgerald 14) “The novels elaborate use of light and dark imagery symbolizes emotional states.” Lighting plays a huge roll in The Great Gatsby, it sets the tone and mood for the
His therapist, Dr. Patel, was a very good listener and is very calm. I think it is very hard to be a calm listener while the client is aggressive and angry but the therapist handled the situations very well. He was different from Robin William’s character because he didn’t share the similar experience as the client and tries to keep his life very private. The therapist in Silver Linings Playbook did a great job asking Pat why he does things that he does. For example, Pat gets very aggressive and his mood changes every time he hears his wedding song.
Twain pictures exercise as being hatful based on his conviction that exercise has no positive or significant effect on us whatsoever. He thinks that people only need to rest and sleep for their bodies to be healthy and their minds to be sharp. In order to support his argument, Twain is giving evidence as he is showing himself as an example of what he said. He is trying to convince his audience by giving them a personal example about himself; telling them that he never ever exercised in his life and that he only got enough sleep and he took rests whenever needed. He based his opinion on a personal experience, his own experience, to clarify and support his point of
But the most important contribution Descartes made were his philosophical writings; Descartes, who was convinced that science and mathematics could be used to explain everything in nature, was the first to describe the physical universe in terms of matter and motion, seeing the universe as a giant mathematically designed engine. Descartes wrote three important texts: Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting the Reason and Seeking Truth in the Sciences, Meditations on First Philosophy, and Principles of Philosophy. René Descartes had always been a frail individual, and he would usually spend most of his mornings in bed, where he did most of his thinking, fresh from dreams in which he often had his revelations. In his later years, Descartes had to relocate to Sweden to tutor Queen Christina in philosophy.
Other examples that they recorded included $13^2=5^2+12^2$ and even $8161^2=4961^2+6480^2$. One of the great intellectual masterpieces of the ancient Greek world was Diophantus' {\sl Arithmetic}. This work, available in Latin translation in the seveteenth century, was an important inspiration for the scientific renaissance of that period, read by Fermat, Descartes, Newton and others. Fermat, a jurist from Toulouse, studied mathematics as a hobby. He didn't formally publish his work but rather disseminated his ideas in letters, challenging
He states that he will live a simple life without spending time and money on things he does not need, and thus reducing his economic needs. Besides, he wants to rest spiritually, not having to follow any religions, rituals or traditions. In the text the author uses long and complex paragraphs and sentences which often makes them difficult to follow and understand. Besides, he uses allusions (Ulysses), metaphors (time is but the stream), oxymorons (bottom of the sky, pebbly with stars), irony (be thrown off the track by mosquito’s wing), hyperbole (terrible rapid and whirlpool),
