Analysis Of Blindness By Jose Saramago

A “survivor car” is what the newspapers called it, did not stop such notice; gathering from the darkness a moment of miracle, and then disappear for the next bend. Michaelist wasn’t even sure of the facts – he told the press about the incident. The yellow car the one going toward new york, approximating beyond, hurried back to myrtle’s location, and abruptly change target to the nearest obstacle in the road, colliding in a big speed and intensity, surrounding the road with metallic parts of a wrecked car.

The author uses similes to describe the armoured car that travelled across the bridge, advancing and slowing up the street from his position, and is referred to as the “grey monster”. By saying this the writing becomes more interesting, sparking the imagination of the reader whilst getting the information across that the armoured car is very dangerous. By using the word “look” it quickly draws the reader’s attention to what the sniper sees. Adjectives are used, “thin, ascetic, cold gleam” this is to describe the protagonist’s appearance. Strong verbs are used like “struck, inhaled, flattened, swore” are used to describe action, speech “I’m hit” have been included to create a sense of drama and reality. The last sentence “then the sniper turned over the dead bod and looked into his brother’s face” makes the readers feel the impact of the final tragedy and opens them to the realisation of the tragedy of war and the life

Fear of the unknown is a powerful and primitive human emotion that can be debilitating. Nonetheless, the ability to overcome fear of an uncertain future is challenging. However, once an individual prevails in the face of fear; prosperity, peace, and happiness reigns. Marc Antonio Cruz captured the courage and fortitude of a blind individual in the photograph from Habitar La Oscuridad. The monochromatic photograph highlights the uncertainty surrounding the visually impaired individual. Walking down the darkened staircase with outstretched arms and no support, the subject ventures out to the unknown. The hallway tiled with a purposeful black and white pattern represents the light and darkness he will face in his journey. A caution sign along

The roadway is the intermediary, the bridge between the objects and the shadows of those objects. It seperates what is real from what is projected. The objects are real, colour and shapes illuminated by the fire behind them. They represent a form of knowledge. The prisoners are restricted to only seeing a pale ghastly reflection of that knowledge

The United States has many minority groups that face oppression. In the media today, most of the minority issues that are highlighted involve the LGBTQ community, women, and racial minorities. Differently-abled people are rarely given the space to share with the world how they see it. This literature review will discuss terms related to visual impairment, legislative measures taken in the United States to assist those with severe visual impairments, and the oppression and discrimination those who are visually impaired face.

“I stared at it in the swinging lights of the subway car, and in the faces and bodies of the people, and in my own face, trapped in the darkness which roared outside” (Baldwin, 74). The narrator of the story is reading a newspaper about how his younger brother, Sonny, is going to jail. The narrator cannot believe he is reading Sonny’s name on the newspaper. The lights on the subway connect to the lightness of feeling safe from being inside rather being trapped outside where reality endures. The darkness roaring outside is the harsh, realism of the

“[P]lowing through humongous traffic snarls… all aggressively vying for the same space… and where the bus driver would sometimes physically push pedestrians out of the way…with the bus” (Barry,572). All of Barry’s first had experiences lead up to his worst one of all

Everyone in Sarajevo shares a common goal: to survive until the end of the day. This rigorous and dangerous mission is repeated every single day. The men on the hill force the citizens of Sarajevo to always be cautious. The threat of a sniper aiming when one crosses a road and the fear of being one of the victims in the many mortar bombings are always lingering in the citizens’ minds. This fear of death and will to survive creates a tense mood throughout the story. The reader is often able to imagine the scene and the tense moments as Arrow, Kenan, Dragan and the citizens of Sarajevo fight to survive. One wrong move, even one as frivolous as walking across the street, may signify the death of

The man helps the narrator overcome his “blindness” by teaching him a new way of seeing. The experience of this effective communication transforms the narrator and the way he sees the external world. He is no longer an ignorant and distant

Diversity is usually portrayed as the acceptance of many different races and geographical cultures. It is not as common to hear the lack of diversity towards the blind community but it exists. The attendance of Texas State University has opened up the doors to one of the most diverse places I have had the chance to experience first-hand. Although Texas State has become somewhat of a safe-haven, that does not displace the fact that there is stereotyping everywhere against the blind.

An shocking atmosphere is created through the way the poet describes how the background drivers and how they didn’t do anything to help the victims. In the background two drivers keep their eyes on the road The image of shock is created by the way the poet describes the drivers,the way they don’t show any emotion in the the situation. It implys that the drivers see this kind of crime happening all of the time,and that they are used to seeing things like this happening.

In the story, The Pedestrian, the main character goes on a walk every night, never encountering anyone on these outings. This abnormality occurs as every night people gather in their homes watching television instead of enjoying nature. The main character gives a description of seeing shadows and hearing whispers from the houses. This occurrence helps reveal the message of the story; the world has already become so brainwashed and simple-minded that eventually every person will have this as their future. This challenge needs to be overcome, and the world should change their ways before it is too late.

To anyone from New York City, the dangers of train cars are evident. This is why, when the reader begins to see that the children are acting recklessly, he becomes quite worried. This is because there are countless numbers of warnings on trains,

When defining the word blindness, it can be interpreted in various ways. Either it can be explained as sightless, or it can be carefully deciphered as having a more complex in-depth analysis. In the novel Blindness, Jose Saramago depicts and demonstrates how in an instant your right to see can be taken in an instant. However, in this novel, blindness is metaphorically related to ‘seeing’ the truth beyond our own bias opinions.
