Harmon discusses his reaction in his journal to the reflection in the mirror, “When I look into the small rectangle, I see a face looking back at me but I don’t recognize it. It doesn’t look like me” (Myers 1). Myers decides to start off the book with Steve’s first journal entry to show the reader what it is like to be in jail from the perspective of a teenage boy. Half of the book is written in a movie script, which enables the reader to know exactly what is going on. Throughout the book Myers includes dialogue that would appear on a movie script.
‘I’ll move him to jail first thing in the morning’ (pg. 149)”. This specific scene in the novel further shows the contrast between the kitchen and the basement in terms of the two different mindsets being childlike and the adult perspective. However, this does not show how the contrast of these 2 relates back to the theme of coming of age. David went from being “left out” of what was going on with all the conversations until the end of the novel when he “ran down the stairs.
Nick’s active role in “The Great Gatsby” similarly only allows the reader to witness and to know what Nick witnesses and knows. Nick cannot hear clearly the “impassioned murmur… in the room beyond” during dinner at Buchanan’s mansion; the only evidence that the reader has as to what the conversation may be about comes from the evidence that other characters present to Nick and if knowledge is withheld by Fitzgerald from Nick, the reader remains equally clueless. The structure of the first chapter allows Fitzgerald to introduce multiple aspects of the story and hint at their importance. An asterisk placed early in the chapter introduces Nick – “I’m inclined to reserve all judgements” – but also Gatsby, “the man who gives his name to this book”, within the same passage, simultaneously summarising the nature of the narrator and inspiring questions in the reader’s mind about the character and importance of Gatsby, before neatly changing the subject. The same technique later allows the story to move on only from “deep gloom… on a wicker settee” outside the house to a “crimson” room indoors,
That forced a few changes in Brett’s behavior and lifestyle but in the end nothing prevailed. This next text I am about to speak about is also a very good example of institutions, where as the “prison farm” I spoke of earlier this text which is named “One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest” Directed by Milos Forman in 1975 is about a mental hospital but the man sent there ( Jack Nicholson ) finds the head nurse a lot more dangerous than the inmates themselves. Randle Patrick McMurphy ( Jack Nicholson ) thinks he can get out of doing work while in prison by pretending to be mad. His plans are rapidly backfired when he is sent a “mental asylum”. He tries to liven the place up on his arrival by playing card games and playing basketball with his fellow inmates, but the head nurse is after him at every turn.
In a state prison in downstate Menard, Illinois, an inmate by the name of Gino Colon takes a walk around his prison wearing sunglasses, a new sweat suit, nice sneakers and even a gold chain with a diamond studded medallion hanging from his neck. Almost all 2,600 of the other inmates of the prison are locked up in their cells. At this time, a lock down was being enforced because of a serious incident at another state prison. But Colon is within the rules to be just walking around. He even has a key to his room.
Critical Lens Essay Stated by Vince Lombardi, “Individual commitment to a group effort- this is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.” This quote is saying that, if one person does not help out or put in their part of the group effort, everybody in the group will then have to suffer the consequences. Many people believe that this quote is true, because, it relates to The Lord of The Flies, By William Golding, and “The Masque of the Red Death,” by Edgar Allen Poe. In both works of literature, the authors propose that everyone’s commitment contributed to the group effort is important and needed for teamwork; without that one person’s help, many people suffer. William Golding’s Lord Of The Flies, is a novel where there are plenty of themes addressed within the plot. Since, theme is a recurring idea within a work of literature, one of the most obvious themes in Lord Of The Flies, is savagery vs. civilization.

However, in February 1948 Malcolm X was detained at the Norfolk Prison Colony. Being the flamboyant and expressive person that he was he decided that prison could not keep him from spreading his message.
It will take ample time for you to get use to and to adjust your mind to gain information from your previous mindset. (657) Grandin said, “People have tremendous difficulty with change. In order to deal with a major change, I needed a way to rehearse it.” “In the Cave” Plato releases one man to the world, showing him the direct light of reality rather then keeping him imprisoned and seeing illuminations of life by the shadows casted by the fire light in the cave. The fire in the cave represents the illusions we see in life and the light represents the truth of reality. (667) He would start “ By night, looking at the light of the stars and the moon than by day the sun and the sun light then finally, he would be able to look upon the sun
