A Walk For Remember By Nicholas Sparks

Child development is the biological, psychological and emotional changes that occur in individuals between birth and the end of adolescence. (Wiki) Child development is inevitably altered when obstacles such as mental instability and abandonment arise, ultimately affecting children going into adulthood.

This is an analysis of motivating factors in Stephen King’s novel, The Long Walk. This analysis will be connecting some of the themes and terms used in Professor Maclin’s Motivation and Emotion hybrid course to the book’s main character, Garraty and his small group of allies. Physiological needs used in the novel include themes such as the need for homeostasis. Motivation is a strong factor in the novel and will be connected to the textbook’s chapter associated with information about intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Finally, this analysis will expand on psychological needs; focusing mostly on the character’s need for relatedness will be covered in relation to the Stephen King novel.

Everyone is burden with pain. No one can escape emotional, physical or mental misery because it is part of what makes us human. Without pain we would live in a world of sameness. Although there is no way we can escape this reality, what if there existed a utopian society in which everyone could live peacefully without the burden of pain? Would everyone be better off or would living in ignorance be a burden for someone else? Lois Lowry gives us a glimpse into what life would be like in a world where conflict does not exist and shows us what this type of world would do to our humanity. In The Giver, she introduces us to Jonas, an eleven-year-old boy who starts off as an oblivious member of his

We all went to sleep and woke up at six in the morning. When we got up, we all ate donuts that Landon's uncle brought us. After we ate, we all decided to change and put socks and shoes on. As we waited for the trailer of the Mardi Gras to come down the road, we all go really nervous but excited at the same time. When the Mardi Gras finally came, we waited by the road until they jumped out the trailer after us. Once they jumped out, we all headed straight for the woods. We ran all the way to the back until we could not go any farther due to a canal. We decided to hide for a short period of time, so the Mardi Gras would lose our trails. After a couple of minutes we decided to run out and confront the Mardi Gras. They chased after us, and when they caught

Sheri Fink once said “The moral values, ethical codes and laws that guide our choices in normal times are, if anything, even more important to help us navigate the confusing and disorienting time of a disaster.” Living in a post apocalyptic time can be unbearable if one is stripped of the most basic necessities. Such an event can greatly affect the behaviour of a person, as well as the ability to distinguish right from wrong. But like the boy and his father in the novel The Road by Cormac McCarthy they stuck to their morals to overcome the hardships they face. The novels recurring themes such as companionship, survival, and good versus evil, prove that a persons moral standards could change in a time of need.

Isolation is one of the most severe forms of punishment that anyone could be faced with. Cormac McCarthy shows the reaction isolation had on the characters in The Road. The Road, by Cormac McCarthy, follows an unnamed father and son as they travel towards the coast in search of safety after the world has been destroyed by a catastrophe. As they travel the road, the father has to protect his son from the threat of strangers, starvation, exposure and harsh weather. In The Road, Cormac McCarthy shows how humans react to isolation by when the man leaves others to suffer, taking drastic measures and when the man kills other men.

Violence is defined as a behavior involving physical or mental force intending to hurt, damage, or kill someone. In the words of Zak Ibrahim, peace is defined as the proliferation or the increase in the existence of Justice. But where does love fit in to these conversations? Violence cannot necessarily transform into love, but the presence of it is surely important. Violence involving our most loved ones, helps us find love and compassion in the toughest of situations, and leads us toward paths of peace. In this essay, examples will be drawn from Zak Ibrahim 's keynote presentation, The Road by Cormac McCarthy, Beautiful Boy; a film directed by Shawn Ku, and Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut.

Second, Gene and Finny go back to the tree everyday to jump for practice.

Finny went to the hospital and he had a broken leg, Finny did not know that Gene was the reason he fell. He thought he lost his balance and fell. Gene starts to feel bad and after so long Finny gets trialed and Gene admits that he shook the

“You forget what you want to remember, and you remember what you want to forget.” Memories are both a curse and salvation for people. Happy memories are the memories that we wish to remember, but are the ones we always forget or vaguely remember. Meanwhile, the memories that hold sadness and fear are the ones that creep up on us when we least anticipate it. They are the ones we attempt to tuck away in the back of our minds with lock and key, but always seem to find a way to appear and torment us. On the other hand, our happy memories can lead us to feel nostalgic about the past and cause us to fret about our present since things are not the same as they used to. In the novel, 'The Road ' by Cormac McCarthy, the story is set in post-apocalypse where a father on the brink of death, puts on hold his death to attempt to guide his son south through the cold United States. The cold is not the only circumstance they are at odds with, but also the constant threat of death from starvation, illness, and murder. Both the father and the boy are also not safe from their own minds. Their dreams turn against them causing them to have to confront people or memories from their past. Throughout their journey, the father and the boy both face pessimism, hunger, cold, fear, and much more.

Elvis Presley once said, “Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain 't goin ' away.” Plato’s The Allegory of the Cave relates to this quote by focusing on the truths of reality that humans do not comprehend. We think that we understand what we are seeing in our world, but we really just perceive shadows of the true forms of the things that make up the world. We are ignorant about the true nature of reality. The novel, The Giver, by Lois Lowry also involves these concepts. The main character, Jonas, lives in a community of conformity and conflict. When he begins to spend time and train with The Giver, an old man who is the only keeper of the community 's memories, Jonas discovers the unsafe truths of his community 's secret past. Once Jonas discovers the reality about his community, it constantly pesters him until he makes an important decision. Jonas realizes that he must escape from his world in order to make a long needed change for his community. As the prisoner from The Allegory of the Cave seeks knowledge outside of the cave, Jonas from The Giver discovers dark and deadly truths of his community’s secret past that will change his life forever.

Civilization is the basis of life, driving human interaction in everyday life. The texts, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and The Road by Cormac McCarthy, depict civilized and uncivilized situations, which reflect on and elaborate characterization. This can be seen explicitly with the creature (Frankenstein) and the boy (The Road). Both novels address the civilized and uncivilized in different approaches, however similarly emphasize the significance of the character’s traits and development. The ways that each character approaches civilized and uncivilized situations and behaviours, relate to the character’s experiences and emotions directly in the case of the creature, contrary to the inverse relationship in the case of the boy. The

“The Road” depicts a solemn and deteriorating environment that can no longer provide the fundamentals to a society due to the nuclear disaster. The sudden depletion of the resources within their environment made it difficult for the father and the son to find sustenance. They were constantly traveling towards the South looking for safe places to situate themselves because the father knew that they would not be able to survive the nuclear winter. The genre of the novel is post-apocalyptic science fiction because it revolves around a dismantling society. Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road” depicts how environmental destruction finally gave sense for people to value the world and what it had to offer.

Through our society we are all raised up to be independent and unique individuals such as being ourselves and expressing who each of us are to the world. However, in the book The Giver by Lois Lowry, everyone is raised to count on one another and everyone must look and act the same. Our society differs from Jonas’s in many ways, such as the family units, birthdays, and the way we each learn about our past.

The Marxist criticism is based on the socialist theories of Karl Marx and how the readers must closely examine the dynamics of class as they attempt to understand the works they read. In a world where there is no pain, no prejudice, no emotion, and no detestation. Lois Lowry gives a vivid description of a community where everything is equal, everyone is just as important as another, and life choices are made by only one individual. In the book The giver by Lois Lowry, it expresses the exact opposite of Marx’s most important ideas which is a prime example of what people will do if they were forced to live a certain way.
