Change In Linear

Decent Essays

Change in linear. It’s a consequence of moving forward. You can have positive and negative effects, sometimes no effects at all. Change is unpredictable. The texts I have chosen to analyse are the poem, “All the world’s a stage” by William Shakespeare which explores the change during different parts of one man’s life and the stages he goes through. The second text is the movie ‘Star Trek” (2009) is a sci-fi themed movie about a rebellious young man named James T. Kirk whose life was changed by the faith of a Starfleet captain who sees in the rash youth the special qualities that a member of Starfleet must possess to succeed in the challenging and often dangerous world their profession puts them in.

‘All the world’s a stage’ shows a man completely un-wanting of change as he sees there is no point (quote, effect) why did Shakespeare write it like this, look at the techniques in the quote. Do some deep stuff and more stuff about how the dude doesn’t want change. Contrasting from the previous text, James Kirk doesn’t reject change for himself so much as rejecting change out of spite for everyone that is telling change, that he could do better with his life.

Why did Shakespeare write it like this? Due to the man’s attitude toward change and growing up he experiences life at its worst, remembering only the bad experiences. In contrast Star Treks entire franchise is based on learning news ideas, embracing different cultured, moving forward and accepting change. It’s only when you look closer you see individuals that are struggling the accept change or try to become better. We see this in James T. Kirks beginning when he lives in Iowa and is basically a drop out with no prospects though really smart. Kirks own change over a short period of time results in him being an overall better person, Kirk’s attitude towards change is a determined positive one, as seen in his hearing, “I don’t believe in no-win scenarios” where Kirk changes a no-win test so it’s winnable. Kirk changes also had a tragic backstory, his father dying when he young and living with an abusive step-father. The previous texts character did not have the excuse of a tragic backstory and yet he still looked on the world with disgust. Kirk
