The symbolism displayed though the path motif reflects the difficult choice in the journey. This uncertain tone makes clear that the decision of which road to take is not one that is being made lightly, rather Frost's polysyndeton of "And... And... And…" indicates a slow and steady rhythm which conveys the intellectual deliberation required in making the decision. Whilst Frost discusses journey from a literal perspective, the journey undertaken by the persona operates as a wider metaphor for life, which can be seen through the new appeasing tone. The level of determination needed to never look back is further reinforced through the self-reflective tone "I shall be telling this with a sigh." The persona’s obstacle of choosing the right path would never have been overcome without their tenacious determination.
Everyone has the right to take risks and make decisions about their own lives, a balance should be found between service user’s participation in everyday activities and the carer’s duty of care. It should be noted that it is impossible to eliminate risk completely, however minimising and being prepared for risk by preventative action. Supporting people to live independently by taking part of their lives means accepting that there are risks that can’t be avoided but can be prepared for. 1.2) For some services, approaches to risk have been a problem because they have been concerned with avoiding potentially harmful situations for the service user and staff. People need to take risk to achieve things on their own merit, but there are people who should support them but will discourage them from taking risks because of perceived perceptions of the persons limitations.
To achieve the good life one must endure a journey that is filled with learning and rewarding experiences, such as the two journeys traveled by Martin Luther King and Siddhartha. Attaining a set goal is ideal for most individuals, but sometimes the journey is too difficult and creates a question in peoples' motives to continue. Siddhartha and King demonstrate that even when faced with many obstacles, they persevere through the journey and find it just as fulfilling as the goal. There is no set path to reach a goal, and Siddhartha demonstrates this throughout his journey in his attempt to reach enlightenment. He dedicated a large portion of his life to trying to achieve nirvana, and his journey was not an easy one.
However, as the book “Life of Pi” by Yann Martel progressed while reading it, it was evident that in situations where any choice is largely constricted or that the environment is largely unfamiliar to them, people will cross physical, social, mental, psychological, emotional and moral boundaries just to reach something they desire. Similarly, these concepts can also apply to general life. We cross physical boundaries when we travel or when people fly from country to country as an immigrant or a refuge. It could be the notions of wilderness or the further explorations of a new “world”. It is commonly seen in poems that crossing boundaries could also mean the boundary of being at home and experiencing the “wider” world.
She explained the coming of age, the false view of the world from a novel, determination, and she also explains her view on hope. Hope is the feeling of expectation and desire for something to happen. According to Donnelly, hope does not always have a positive result. She exhibits this in her story about young girl who becomes hopeless and is in desperation of fulfilling her dreams. Jennifer Donnelly used literary devices to develop hope in her story and used contrast, symbolism, and similes to display them Mattie Gokey was presented with many situations in which her hope was all she can depend on but cannot seem to find it reliable.
English Assessment Task 1: Physical Journeys By Jamie Dick “The road of life twists and turns and no to directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination.” – Don Williams Jr. Journeys are often perceived as being one of travel or mere movement, however, as exemplified through this quotation; it is apparent that through physical journeys many lessons can be learnt, and thus the character begins to develop in a manner of ways. Physical Journeys encourage intellectual and emotional development as challenges or altercations are dealt with, and also incite inner growth and development evoked by experiences and decisions that are taken on the journey. This links directly into 3 textual materials, all closely related in this aspect. The first of which, is the core text; Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1876 – 1883), which follows the story of a young boy by the name of Huck Finn, and his search for freedom with his negro companion Jim.
! Although on the surface, the narrator in the short story, The Yellow Wallpaper, may seem like a fictional character only developed to be interesting to an audience, many comparisons can be drawn between the narrators life and the life of the author Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Similarities can be drawn between the diagnosis of mental illness, the methods of treatment received, and relationships present in both her life, and the life of her character. All of the experiences of her life came to develop her feminist style of writing, which she is still well known for
This is true of the self as well. If one does not inspire themselves to greatness, then it will never be achieved, nor will the individual’s purpose be uncovered. Leading oneself requires knowing your purpose or vocation because it is what ultimately “guides your [self-leadership] journey” (Professional Development Training, 2013). The self-leader has the choice, lead with purpose to reach the ultimate goal or attempt to continue without such a guiding
In this short story, it is through her experiences, that she realizes she is no longer living, hence the last line of the story, (Rhys, 1976) “That was the first time she knew.” Although the story may seem basic at first, the ending can be quite surprising. You will find in this story, an underlying theme as the plot thickens with symbols of life, experiences and the spiritual world. The author, Jean Rhys, begins this story as the narrator telling the story of a woman on a journey in a limited omniscient view. Clungston (2010) explains in the Journey into Literature, “A limited omniscient point of view is when the thoughts and feelings of only one of the characters are related through the narrator.” In this story, it is just that, as the narrator, who in this story describes a woman who is not given a name or any type of background, guides the reader onto a journey in which she explains the little things the woman is experiencing and remembering as she walked along on that fine blue day. The narrator continues to engage the reader on how the different things along her walk are not the same as what the woman remembers them to be.
For example, responsibility is required in order to graduate by being loyal to your work ethic and effort. But if a person has no motivation to handle commitment or to pursue effort then the virtue of responsibility will not grow in them and they will not be able to succeed and grow maturely. Therefore, the slack of that person will become a habit and they will have a hard time growing in responsibility and maturity later in life. In conclusion, there are two important matters which make up maturity: knowledge and self-pursued responsibility. When
