One of the interviews that the director is in during the show, eposes the unreal life of Truman. Manufacturing someone’s life is not right. Truman is not an exception. Would the show have been a greater hit if all of it was an actual act, if Truman was actually let into the secret? Truman proves to be a real man.
You will work for a while, you will be caught, you will confess, and then you will die." (Orwell 176). Despite hearing these words Winston's uncharacteristic belief in Brotherhood shielded him from comprehending and he did not appear to be swayed in any way, shape, or form. The hope that O'Brien inspires is setting Winston and Julia up for a fall, thus being the most important
He is totally unaware of how she feels and is only concerned about his own experience. “Once I tapped him on the arm so I could whisper a comment in his ear. He jumped” (Toth pg.1) Sounds like Aaron forgot he was even at the movies with someone else! Bob, a happy radical, chooses films that will change the world that are positive and uplifting. He is rather thoughtful but almost to the point where he seems to be a moral judge.
20. Nonna’s secret is that Christina’s father is actually Marcus Sanford, at this point in the movie; all the secrets have been told. 21. “National Wog Day” at the end of the movie is more upbeat and different because Josie is happy and invites Jacob and her friends to attend with her; this shows that she has embraced her culture. When she puts on the music and starts dancing, it shows she is happy.
It is either Custer’s way or the highway. Custer’s false declaration that the “West is totally safe” causes Jack’s marriage to Olga to split. Jack is still, however, impressed by Custer at this point and tells Old Lodge Skins that Custer is a great man.

She’s obviously been given this speech in the past because she finishes all of his sentences. At her house, she tells Morgan (Paula Patton), who hopes to nab an NBA player for herself. She doesn’t have a job, but she thinks that all the research she puts into finding an NBA husband is work. The next day, she and Leslie head off to a nets game, dressed very differently. Leslie’s in a pair of jeans and a jersey; Morgan’s in a dress.
He is obsessed with this ideal of greatness and an “American Dream” that is completely unattainable due to his imagination. He wants to leave a legacy of being known as the best salesman in town. He also wants his sons to follow in his exact footsteps while obtaining much wealth. His downfall arises directly from his continued misconception of himself as someone of more success that he has. His pathological visions of being successful and his ungrateful acceptance of his own American Dream push him to cause arguments within his family, envision suicidal thoughts and ultimately take his own life.
“Two years he walks the earth….No phone, no pool, no pets, no cigarettes. Ultimate freedom” (into the wild movie) Perhaps, to leave everything behind him, and walk into the hands of nature was the only path that he could take to truly know who he was. He wants to live his own life and make his own destiny traveling around. Unlike Holden, Chris met many different types of people that really helped him find out who he was throughout his journey. People like Ron Frantz who was like a dad to Chris while he away from home, tried to give Chris advice about how to have a better life.
Biff cannot contain himself any longer and hugs Willy through his tears. Willy takes this as a sign of love and we see that he commits suicide for Biffs sake.

In conclusion, “Death of a Salesman” by Arthur Miller is a heartbreaking play which sees Willy’s beliefs get the better of him as he takes his own life.
Analyse how symbols are used to develop an idea in the text you have studied In the film The Truman Show directed by Peter Weir we see the use of symbols throughout the film to develop the idea that it is better to live with the harsh realities of life then to live in a safe but counterfeit world. The Truman Show follows the life of a man Truman Burbank, who is unaware of the fact that since the day he was born he has been the lead star in a reality TV show. He lives in Seahaven which is actually a large film set, and everyone even his best friend to his wife are paid actors. The use of symbols is effective in showing us how hard it is for Truman to realise how fake his life is and the challenges he faces to breakout and begin to live a true life. The use of ‘Seahaven’ for the name of the place in which Truman lives is a symbol, as the word ‘haven’ has many positive connotations and this makes you as a viewer think of Seahaven as some kind of utopia or perfect place to live.
