LeGuin sacrifice innocent people for the greater good of the community. Without these sacrifices these towns would not work, best representing the Utilitarian theme they share. They sacrifice one, so that the others living in the town can be happy. Everyone that lives in both these towns in these stories knows exactly what needs to be done in order for their towns to work and they still go through with it. In both stories the people of the towns are alright with sacrificing one so that everyone else can be happy.
People need connections with others, but these connections are not always what brings them to their absolute highest level of happiness. Chris proceeded to record his personal thoughts in his journal, further proving to the reader the point that personal connections are not essential to happiness. “I now walk out and live amongst the wild. Take care, it was great knowing you.” (69), Chris wrote on a card sent to two generous people, Jan and Bob Burres. How briefly this sentence was written and how easily the “good-bye” was said to the couple that took him in and gave him supplies, Chris had displayed that his desire to be on his own was greater than his desire for theirs or anyone’s, friendship.
True: * People, although maybe not everyone, were overall brought together by the war. Everyone had to get on with their everyday life, so there was no point in worrying about it. * People said that they would just have to accept the fact that thousands will die, but even more will be saved. Therefore there is no point in panicking. * There have been many different accounts written in people’s diaries saying that they did get together and that the blitz did help people.
And that control is not possible without unhappiness. And that is why they were not allowed control in their lives. At the time Aldous Huxley would have started writing this book, the world would have still been recovering from World War One. I can only imagine that a large portion of society at the time would have wished for a world where everybody is happy and care free. So Aldous Huxley creates a place where society is always happy and care free.
He didn’t stop his persistent attitude in trying to make ends meet to provide for his family, in his persistence he managed to find a house to live in, he rode his bike into town to get money and he built a small bar for people that could afford it. Characterization added to the moral lesson because it allowed for the reader to see Jonathan’s struggle. Even from the beginning the reader could tell that he was a good person who would do anything to care for his family. Jonathan shows how he takes responsibility but praises God through the statement “nothing puzzles God” which becomes like a statement to relax himself, he says it in times of doubt and when he knows that he’ll have to keep himself motivated. 2.
When drafted, you will be able to meet people from all social economic statuses. It would not matter if you are an attorney, a waitress, a factory worker, or even a homeless person. A sense of great influences and patriotism is given when you do not have a choice. By having a choice today most of our youth have no respect for our veterans or patriotism for this great nation. The draft will lessen the effect of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) on our troops.
Granger believes that when people change even a small part of the world thoughtfully and deliberately, they leave behind enough of their roots to enable other people to mourn them properly.Granger’s story about his grandfather, with its moral about the importance of leaving one’s mark on the world, resonates with Montag’s desire to leave a meaningful legacy. From the beginning of the novel he has been growing increasingly dissatisfied with a life based on empty pleasures and devoid of real connections to other people. With the help from Granger, Montag now realized that because Mildred hardly ever did anything, he did not miss her. Montag thinks back to Faber’s words, promising him that Montag would be as a brother. That is Montag-plus-Faber, fire plus water which would mix and turn into wine.
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 person telling the story tells a story of a great place a place that you fantasize about. A story of a place that you would love to be, actually starts out just the same as “The Lottery” the place where you would love to be. The stories have the same type of plot both places seem to be perfect, everyone getting along, people going on like there is nothing wrong. But really they both have the same problem, the older generation is stuck in the old days, but the younger generation wants a change. But neither do anything about it, they conform to society, or just turn their backs and run.
Media Analysis Media is pervasive in American culture today. Many Americans spend their entire day with one form of media or another. It is easy to believe that by living in an environment saturated by media we become immune to its effects and messages. However, this is often not true. Without becoming self-aware, media literate consumers, messages and values often slip by our defenses unaware.
