Arabian Nights Essay

     The movie Lawrence of Arabia had many interesting aspects about it and, according to sources, is very historically accurate. Taken place during WW with the feud between British and Turkish forces over the Suez Canal, the movie reflects a life of an individual who tries to do something about the injustice of the Arabian people.

Passions drive people, and the townspeople in “The Lottery” and Paul in “The Rocking-Horse Winner” are no different. Each of the members of the unnamed town has a strong passion for tradition. The original black box used for the lottery is described as being, “lost long ago, and the black box now resting on the stool had been put into use even before Old Man Warner, the oldest man in town, was born” (Jackson 251). This sentence gives the reader an understanding that the lottery is an ancient tradition that has become an integral part of the town’s lifestyle. Such a tradition can only be carried on for this length of time if the people are passionate about preserving the tradition. Paul had a passion to be wealthy as a way to prove to his mother that he was lucky. From a young age, he saw that his family always wanted more money to support a better lifestyle, yet

One of the main themes throughout the book is the title of the book “Night”. There are references from Eliezer about night during the book, which are full of symbolism. The word “night” is used repeatedly, and Eliezer recounts every dusk, night and dawn through the entire book. For instance, Night could be a metaphor for the Holocaust—submerge the family and thousands of Jewish families in the darkness and misery of the concentration camps.

Night by Elie Wiesel was one of the best books I have ever read. Night is the story about Elie’s horrible time spent in Auschwitz and Buna the death camps. This story impacted me the most because all of this is real. Elie’s mother and sister were murdered as soon as they arrived.

Requiem for a Dream details the lives of four individuals and how they each deal with their problems by attempting to escape reality. The four main characters depicted in the movie are Harry, Marion, Tyrone, and Sara. Harry is the main protagonist, and the film shows his progression into isolation as he sacrifices his relationships with his mother (Sara) and his girlfriend (Marion) due to his addiction and delusions. Each of the characters has their own individual struggles in their lives, but the film is interesting because they all attempt to escape into a world of their own delusions by using substances. The movie shows the audience a wide range of addiction and dependence through drug use, but it is not solely the use of drugs that fuels the character’s behavior. Use of legal and illicit substances is broadly shown within the film, and that is what stands out the most when viewing the film.
