Throughout time, works of literature have often carried messages of great social importance. It is essential to understand these significant themes and agendas in order to understand the basis of the novels. Throughout The Prophet’s Hair by Salman Rushdie, War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells and A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess, there is much evidence supporting the idea of social or political ‘warnings,’ one could argue, about the functionality of society and those who govern said societies. The philosophies discovered by the reader (set there purposely by the author) provide the means to the essential bridge between reading literature and understanding the possibilities and comprehending the literature in question. Allegorically

Every day as humans, living our day-to-day lives; many come face to face with social challenges that place them into making moral decisions, affecting themselves and society. People are deemed to have a duty to admire how others grow and make decisions, learning from their experiences and mistakes. However, not only are they influenced by society; Literature is what teaches them everyday… without it being obvious. “Just Lather, That’s All”, written by Hernando Téllez, “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by William Wordsworth and The Edge directed by Lee Tamahori are all works that demonstrate both social and moral development revealed through the protagonist that teaches the reader to learn how to live a more fulfilling existence.

Human beings are kind and caring in nature. They exude a sense of compassion towards each other. This is called empathy. Humans care for one another and are mostly understanding. However, this not always the case. Sometimes due to adolescence or pure cynicism. This lack of empathy can cause challenges in social relations, rendering empathy of utmost importance. Hence, the characterization of empathy is prevalent in multiple works, including text 3 and 4. Text 3, a comic panel, exhibits the lack of empathy in a simpler manner. It shows the lack of empathy through a paranoid cynicist, a boy afraid of swimming who distrusts his lifeguard. It is later revealed that the lifeguard is also a cynicist, complaining about how she’s doing the job just to pay for university. Therefore, this text shows the audience how the lack of empathy from both ends yielded a lack of understanding. On the other hand, text 4, a poem, displays the significance of empathy in a different and more complex fashion. It reveals

The artist lecture that I went to was a session of colloquium that centered around the art of three graduate students. Matthew Mauk, the artist I focused on, is a graduate student at UW-Madison that focuses on metalworking. He began as a tattoo artist with a background in drawing and working on silicon. Today, he has moved on to metal sculptures and ornamental objects. Inspired by the religious iconography of Caravaggio and how his paintings contain hidden propaganda, Mauk creates intricate metal pieces masked with subliminal messages. Through his art Mauk tries to rebel against social standards and the rules many places in society has established. For his talk, he discussed his MFA Exhibition. In the show, the metalwork is colorful, intricate,

Humankind has matured into evil spirit, allowing human nature to produce selfishness, and think no different to benevolent. Everything evolves; and in this case, self-centered normality emerged from a longing of eternal progress that humans have heedlessly had hunger for. The progress that we all know exists, is the cause of a ruined world, without us being familiar with it because our mind builds a barrier that pushes the truth outward from what we already have come to senses with. “Pity this busy monster, manunkind”, focusses on many themes educed from moral greed in order to expand self importance. The techniques the author uses to push his points across the poem allows readers to depict a clear picture on the arguments trying to be developed. As ‘progress’ being one of the overarching factors contributing to the dominant arguments in the text, it can be said to be an influential idea. With this thought of this progress that the poem argues is a disease, it has become attached to our lifestyle, hiding away from our awareness. It eventually transforming into a cycle of greed and hunger for something already

In Elizabeth Bishop’s poem, One Art, it displays the acceptance Bishop has for losing things. Each stanza the losses get more significant, until she finally displays the one thing she can’t accept losing. Elizabeth Bishop uses techniques such as verse form and repetition to display her feelings toward those losses.

In Salman Rushdie’s hands, political satire and caricature easily administer with fairy-tale fights of imagination that merge a fine diaphanous model of restrained allusions, impulse and humour. The magic realism popularized by Salman Rushdie inclined a large number of Indian novels. According to Anita Desai, Rushdie showed English language novelists in India a way to be “postcolonial”. There is an entire cohort of novelists who experience the weight of Rushdie’s influence as enabling their own talents. Quite apart from his distinctive characters, he showed Indians how the English language could

Nowadays, people are easily affected by different forms of information, including Literature. Literature shows how the experiences of characters affect the way readers are living or thinking. Thus, it acts as a role to influence human thinking. In other words, literature is teaching people about life’s lessons. Every literature shows what social class the characters are in order to let reader understand the background of characters. In a meanwhile, readers understand more about the situation or life experiences of each social class. In order words, literature defines the words of social class for us. In the society, there are two main classes. One is ruling class and the other one is working class. Working class as the majority of characters

In fact, by attempting to glamourize suffering by portraying it superficially, writers may lose the connection with us that appreciates literature. Instead, what we are left with is an over extended attempt to glorify suffering, or hide it within a guise of reality that is too savage to be true. Instead of the appreciative feeling that reality imbues within me as a reader, I am left with a sense of disgust, confusion and dissatisfaction. This feeling almost overwhelmed me while reading Adiga’s “The White Tiger” and it tainted my experience with the book. Adiga had written the novel without any firsthand experience in the rural areas of India to which his main character referred to as the darkness. Instead, being of a higher class, his accounts were based on second or third hand experiences which do not adequately depict the lower class’ realities. I found the following depiction of India’s ghettos both farcically unrealistic and eventually
