The way he was raised plays a role on the way he still lives. Grendel focuses too much on his reputation, he is a outcast and listens to the shapers stories about him. “I have become myself, the mama I’d searched the cliffs for in vain”(pg.80). In Beowulf the similarity is that Beowulf had a lot of the same qualities as Grendel, like how much Beowulf focused on his reputation. Beowulf always wants attention and to know how others view him, but he is also a outcast.

Here, the narrator was addicted to buying furniture. Fight Club is about the lack of masculinity in society.

At the beginning of the movie, the narrator is consumed by his own materialistic life.
Siddhartha even sees it as a game, not caring if he succeeded or failed at his job. Kamaswami view on life is also different from Siddhartha’s. Kamaswami view is a lot like is business, very serious and prescient. Siddhartha’s view of life, he believes, has shown him that people live life in a horrible way as in worrying over little things that have no meaning. “Samsara” Siddhartha’s dreams began to tell him of horrible things that might happen in his life.
229) I believe this quote reveals the moral because as he reads this book he find out Crusoe is all alone and isolated and even though Charlie doesn’t realize it yet he himself is isolated and lonely as well. Next the writer demonstrates the lesson by including the character’s dialogue. While Charlie is reading his progress reports with Miss Kinnian he says, “All my frends are smart people but there good.” (Pg. 229) I feel this quote expresses the theme because Charlie doesn’t realize how his friends actually treat him. He thinks they’re all nice to him, but instead they just laugh at him and make fun of him which signalizes that he’s lonely.
In the play ‘Educating Rita’ cruelty and cynicism feature a great deal. One of the main characters, Frank, is cynical. Frank’s personality portrays him as a miserable old man who cannot see the good in anybody, including Rita. For example, Frank thinks that Rita is only trying to change herself because it will look good to others when they meet her rather than seeing that she is really trying to change her life for the better, not for selfish reasons. When Frank is on the phone to Julia he refers to Rita as “some silly woman” and this portrays him to be cynical because even though he has never met Rita he is already making assumptions about her in a negative manner.
*Lord Henry, who enjoys manipulating people to calm his hedonist feelings, imposing him by his radical, yet catchy theories of life. In the beginning of the book, when he meets Dorian, he tells him "[An influenced person's] virtues are not real to him. His sins, if there are such things as sins, are borrowed. He becomes an echo of someone else's music, an actor of a part that has not been written for him. The aim of life is self-development.
Although his actions are very insane, they can be seen as rational to reader considering hedonism. Devotion to pleasure, hedonism, makes Dorian be deceitful about his true self by deflecting the attention of the public from the mad man to the beautiful and intelligent gentlemen. Dorian is, young, sensitive, and emotional, meaning that he is susceptible to manipulation. Lord Henry takes advantage of that opportunity and gives Dorian the yellow book; this book opens up the world of hedonism and aestheticism which eventually turns his young life into an eternal oblivion of misery. Dorian develops a fear of aging so he tries to live his life as if it was his last day on earth.
“They come here to be woken up. The dream has become their reality,” says an old man in the award winning film Inception, a film that demonstrates how humans would rather become lost in their dreams as an escape from the burdens of reality. People are obliviously skillful when it comes to creating illusions in order to cope with reality, particularly as a result of our disappointments and failures; these illusions can conceal reality but do not remove it entirely. In the end we are always forced to face the reality of our world and challenge our own perception. It is the combination of all these elements that allow significant challenges to shape the way we perceive the world as well as the effect of reality upon us.
He describes him like a thin, pale, indefinite wraith. There is a part of Charlie that feels uncomfortable, or unsafe because he can’t look for safety with both of his parents. Also his father’s dislike and indefinite movements made Charlie a little scared. He never new where he was, and sometimes it was in the middle of the night. In spite of that, he can still see some things they have in common, and Charlie’s love for his father is not seen until his father is in a difficult situation.
