The sun broke through the grey and breathed life into the awakening city. The woman’s eyes though opened, were empty and moved accordingly to the flock of doves that soared through the chilled air. She gazed at the beautifully choreographed dance above where delicate wings formed prominent silhouettes against the comforting rays. The ancient apple tree which only last month was a mess of unruly twigs and withered leaves had now flourish into a bounty of lively red apples that heralded the Springtime. The richness of the sanctuary generated distant and painful memories in her head like the scenes of a tragic movie.

Her father, a man of ambitions and responsibilities, was not the father to throw her into the sky and tell her how much he loved

In his novel The Hours, author Michael Cunningham describes his characters in a very unique way. Cunningham portrays his characters through the descriptions of rooms in which each person spends most of their day. The rooms become a window to each character’s personality and personal situation. Through reflection of her own room, Clarissa Vaughn comes to realize that she is completely unhappy with the way her life has turned out. Similarly, Cunningham uses Laura Brown’s time in her kitchen and her two hour stay in a hotel room to assess her mental standing. These spaces are not only observed by their inhabitants, but also by those close to them. Clarissa’s room is observed by her old friend Louis and the reader is given much of Richard’s room descriptions through the assessment of Clarissa. These observations by others help the reader gain a sense of not only how the certain character considers their own self, but also how they are perceived by others. Each individual life intersects with another character, which link together characters that seemingly would otherwise not be connected. These observations regarding each room come to not only embody the mental state of each character, but also represent a form of imprisonment for each.
McEwan thus catapults the reader directly into the tormented mental world of Jack. We then only observe the external world of Jack and his siblings from his single viewpoint. All is filtered through his lonely and questionable perception. McEwan thus leaves it to the reader to analyse the action of the novel from the filter of Jack's naïve, twisted but prevailing perspective. This creates a sense of the claustrophobia that pervades the boy's world. The discomfort that readers feel parallels and prepares them for Jack's anguished, alienated and contained inner world. The family, even before the parents' death, is divided within itself and isolated from other people. Thus Jack's lonely voice lends the narration an air of obsessive and unhealthy emphasis on the very factors that create, generate and sustain the isolated obsessions dominating this family.
Finding Nemo is an adventurous children’s movie that follows a clownfish named Marlin as he ventures out to find his son, Nemo, who was snatched up by scuba divers and brought to a dentist’s office to be a little girl’s pet. Along the way he meets a blue tang fish named Dory, who suffers from short-term memory loss and follows him on his journey. All the while, Nemo is trying to find his way home back to his dad with the help of friends he makes along the way. Sounds like a great children’s movie that is full of adventure, right? Yes, but the movie isn’t totally accurate. Moving past the obvious flaws, that fish can’t talk, there are shortcomings in the accuracy of how the sea creatures in the movie are displayed, how the humans are portrayed, and in the storyline itself.
Bree was alone in the dark, left to die in a world where no one cares if you fall flat off the face of the earth. It was a world where no light came to help you find your way to safety, to sanctuary, to home. Bree hadn't always been homeless. Her mother died after she was born. Her father was an alcoholic who lost his job, was extremely abusive and abandoned Bree in the middle of nowhere. She was a realist; she knew her dad was awful, but her mother was always a mystery to her. Bree left the darkness and tried to find some light. Chills crept up her spine, as if it were alive. Frosty autumn afternoons were the norm in the city. Trudging down the dull grey city footpaths, she felt the bite of the breeze.
Drenched, sodden, the boy awoke to the resonating drone of distant creatures, lurking within the foreign woodlands. Dawn had broken out like a bleeding wound. Thick clouds scudded the stricken sky as the sun receded into the darkness, blotting the glimmer of the ominous moon. He felt his way around the hard mattress, doused in a wet, sticky substance, before averting his gaze to a window. The room was decrepit. Dusty, run-down walls which hadn’t been maintained for ages. Beyond the crooked window, lay a vast overlay of trees, subtly swaying to the tune of the night breeze.
Staring out the open window, Megan let the quiet breeze blow in and flow through her long, brown hair. This is where she would take in her last moments of silence. She watched as the branches swayed in the wind, their leaves just starting to turn red and fall to the ground. She thought about jumping, escaping reality, but instead turned and stepped away, dragging the fabric of her puffed up, white dress with her. Memories of her mother started to flood in her mind, drowning her with unpleasant reflections. She wondered if she would be able to make it through the rest of the day.
