A Long Day 's Journey Into Night The Mother

A Long Day’s Journey Into Night, by Eugene O’Neill, is a deeply autobiographical play. His life was rampant with confusion and addictions in his family. Each character in this play has a profound resemblance, and draws parallels and connections with a member of his own family. The long journey that the title of the play refers to is a journey into his past. Fog is a recurring metaphor in the play; it is a physical presence even before it becomes a crucial symbol of the family’s impenetrable confusion. It is referred to in the text as well as stage directions in this play. It sets the mood for the play in all its somber hues.

Ready Player One hits some of the same situations as in the holocaust or for the book that we read “Night” like taking people spread out over a good area and combining them into a small dense area. They both also touch on the topic of how when someone is killed or something is blown up now one raises an eyebrow or if they do no one does anything about it.

I went Into Elie Wiesel 's Night having read the book in various stages in my life. It seems to follow me through my schooling years. In junior high I read it in standard English class, just like any other book I would have read that year. In high school I read it for a project I was creating on World War II, looking at it from a more historical approach. Being a firsthand account of concentration camps made it a reliable source of historical information. But during previous times when I was reading, I never thought to take a look at it from a theological point of view. Doing so this time really opened my eyes to things and themes I hadn 't noticed during previous readings.

Mother Night exemplifies binary opposition through the theme “We are who we pretend to be therefore we must be careful about what we pretend to be.” Howard Campbell is the imprisoned narrator who was captured due to him broadcasting Nazi propaganda on a radio station. He has many different guards throughout the day; however, one stands out in particular: Arpad Kovacs, the boisterous and flamboyant night guard. He is an oxymoron in that: “Arpad, faced with the problem of being a Jew in Nazi Hungary...joined the Hungarian S.S.” ( Vonnegut, 36). Being forced to constantly impersonate a Nazi, Arpad’s ideology and morals begin

After reading the book “Night” I wanted to know why people try to put others down to make them feel better about themselves. I’m writing this paper because I don’t like that people are stereotypical and racist. This topic doesn’t really interest me, it just makes me curious as to why people are like this. Did something happen to them to make them hate on others? Are they just like that? Reading about the holocaust and how they were treated really made me want to why people treat others like that. In “Night” all the prisoners are treated as if they aren’t human, they’re treated like animals and I don’t know why the officers try to dehumanize them for their race but it is really sad. The prisoners had to run miles after not eating for

The Holocaust was a mass genocide which killed six million European Jews by Hitler’s Nazi’s that lasted for 12 years. This mass killing event left a mark in history, this was an act against humanity. The book “Night” was a written perspective from Elie Wiesel, who was kept in one of the most dangerous camps with his family in Auschwitz, during the Holocaust. A letter was written by Regina Kandt to her lover while she was transitioning to a camp, and a photograph was taken during the Holocaust of the aftermath of the mass killing genocide. All of these sources connect to the loss of religious faith because everyone had a loss of hope the victims depending on their value of family and their relationships to survive.

It truly is surprising how a person can change so drastically over a series of events. People can be made into monsters over the murder or death over a loved one for example. Or can be turned to a person of great faith when they were an atheist. This is what happened to Elie and was one of the main conflicts of the story, “Night”. As you can see in the book he loved going to his mosque and his love of God, however, as the story went on his faith slowly deteriorated and crumbled away even though he fought hard to keep it. This can happen to the best of people and there is no way to control it unless you are strong with your beliefs.

There are no boundaries when dealing with survival. For example, in the book “Night” the main character had to deal with the Holocaust in which the Jew had to battle for food when it was scarce among other starving Jews. When survival is at play our basic instincts tell us that we need to survive.

4. The Path of the Great Mother also known as “PGM” is a polytheism religion which means people worship more than one god. The Path of the Great Mother was created in ancient Egypt and its origin dates back to the reign of Cleopatra in 30 BC. The Great Mother was a divine feminine Goddess, a mother to everyone, with her unconditionally love. At the beginning of time, men were intrigued by the fact only woman could bear children and worshipped them for bearing their children. Many people thought childbirth  was a type of black magic because so many women that gave birth died during childbirth. The men feared that the woman who lived through childbirth had supernatural powers and could place a curse on anyone that defied them. The woman that survived childbirth were the rulers of time and followed in the foot steps “path” of the Great Mother for all eternity.

Ricendithas stood after this meeting was adjourned, disinterestedly looking around the room as he then followed Stella out into the main room. He hadn 't missed Soyeon giving him the stink eye; if anything, it only brightened his mood that he 'd managed to ruffle her feathers so nicely. And while they were going down the stairs, Ric just looked about while ignoring her little tryst about not touching anything. "Do I look like some common thief?" he muttered, his visible green eye shooting downstairs as he heard the argument. One that made his bemused smirk turn into a grin that make the Cheshire Cat jealous.

Morrison, through Sorrow’s experience, portrays how motherhood can be salvation for those trying to assimilate into the codified characteristics of the feminine gender. Morrison describes Sorrow with unfavorable imagery marked by a history of misery. Sorrow grew up on a ship, and was the only one that survived the shipwreck. She was later found by the Sawyer and his wife. The wife tried to make Sorrow “mind the geese” (Morrison 140), but this resulted in more trouble than assistance; therefore, the wife put her to “simple cleaning tasks” (Morrison 141), which was still was to no avail. Sorrow’s inability to complete these traditionally feminine tasks conveys that she grew up around very few, if any, women while on the ship and was not trained

“As a social institution, gender is a process of creating distinguishable social statuses for the assignment of rights and responsibilities.” This quote from Judith Lorber’s work, “Night and Day” brings up an interesting idea. Men and women are held in very different regard because of gender. It is drilled into our core at birth that our gender defines us. This causes a split in both behavior and treatment that we encounter in our everyday lives.

Fredbears family diner was a big hit back in the early 1980s until something tragic happened.

Two examples of works of art that are now view differently would be “Migrant Mother”, and “The Starry Night.” When I first look at both works, I wasn’t really interested, because of the content (sad, dark, gloomy and depressing) of both work. However, looking at the history didn’t only help me understand and appreciate both works, but also understand why the artist portray his or her work in such manner.

“Acquainted with the Night” is a well written poem. Before I read the poem, I believed it would express how the speaker is more familiar with the night life than day life. Instead, the poem is a sonnet comparing a sad lonely person to the darkness of the night. Darkness is symbol for sadness, loneliness, and depression. That description fits the speaker. The speaker is walking on a rainy, dark night. He sees a watchman that is on duty but he does not make eye contact with him to avoid having conversation with the watchman. Then, the speaker stopped because he heard a cry that seem to be far away. He realizes the cry is not for him so he looks up to “an unearthly height”, which may be the moon, to determine what time it was; but whatever time
