Creative Writing: Jake's Journey

The forest had gone.... and the Witch looked much younger. Audette opened her eyes and had found herself upon a brow of white lilies. The shape of the shrouded old woman seemed changed. Having turned around, and opened her mantle to the tearing gusts, Meliza revealed to the young lady two streams of shinging blackness and smooth white flesh. Audette stopped in her tracks.

To begin, the agony Harrison experienced was clear to see in the movie, 2081. The pain he felt was further enhanced when he shouted through the crowd, “I was sentenced without trial to torture without end. (10.38) and “I have been beaten… but sadly, not broken.” (11.18)

Jake and Alonzo move on to the gangster’s house named Smiley. When they get into the house Alonzo says he has to use the restroom and leaves Jake alone.

Jake finally feels some relief until he turns on the news to see them saying Alonzo died while serving a warrant to a high-risk person at LAX.

One day, cutting through the swamp, David comes across the remains of old Indian souls and discovers a skull with jewelry still buried on the bodies. As David kicks at the skull, he hears a voice and looks up to see a black man seated on a stump just looking. The man, wearing a black sash around his body, has a soot-stained face, which makes it appear as if he works in some fiery place. David soon recognizes the stranger as the devil, the black man. Twenty years later we had a family reunion with all my relatives and they started talking about the fire.

“ Would you like that Harrison.” “yes,of course.” than Harrison was realizing that he was loved.

Sunshine was pouring out from in between the buildings, casting shadows all around Ponyboy and the gang as they walked to Pony’s school. They were taking their time walking down the streets and for the first time they all were really seeing what was all around them. Memories were surfacing in their minds showing them what it all meant to them. With every step they took on the sidewalk they remembered a different memory as if they were walking down memory lane. Ponyboy didn’t think it was possible for him to be walking down this street for the last time as a high school student, but he had gone through the years with great grades that earned him many scholarships.

I comfortably drive my car into the desolate street, Perusing the deserted buildings, Smashes windows and rusted For Sale signs. The car locked up like Fort Knox. I observe the street for trouble. Two young boys look at me from afar as if I'm an alien. Do I stand out that much same greasy hair, expensive clothes, a smart car I suppose I am out of my comfort zone? “Mister, you don’t belong here” his hand gripped his switch. “Pony.... Ponyboy Curtis” I stammer “I live here or at least I did, I'm here to see two-bit’ The Boys turn around “geez his old now” the boy's chirp. The boys stroll away in awe that they saw the great Ponyboy.

quote from the text reflects Harrison’s own views on the government and his beliefs in

Harrison resembled a father to creation like me, he helped me and enabled me. (Starting to sob at this point, Aamodit continued his speech).“ Harrison resembled a father to creation like me, he helped me and enabled me”. Even in jail he would teach me about this so called “Life”, he educated me on the world, Aamodit continued. He told how peace was stolen! He told me everything I needed to fit in with this dystopian society. I will help him, yet I require your bolster I require you to help me battle the Government and bring equity for the passing of your child and who knows how many humble lives that insidious witch has executed with her own wicked hands. Come, help reestablish the society that God once blessed us with. Together we will retaliate for the demise of a father, a child, a companion, and a

Would you rebel for something you believe in, but everyone else does not? Would you die for the cause of something good and helpful to the world? This is exactly what Harrison did. In Chandler Tuttle’ 2081 and Kurt Vonnegut’s “Harrison Bergeron,” Harrison's appearances, beliefs, the equipment used on him, and the responses he receives and produces are important aspects to both medias. Though, the short story and film both have its own unique features that help us connect to his personality. Harrison from “Harrison Bergeron” is a considerate, ignored hero, but also an outsider to the people for his beliefs; since he uses the threatening and self-centered words to express his bitterness and words, many feel he is egocentric, but he has only said this to get his word across, although, in 2081, Harrison is a wise, intellectual, mature, and a Christ-like figure, who appeals to our senses in a better way than Harrison from the short story does explaining why the current system is not effective.

Instead of letting them do that, he ran away from home to a place where people like himself gather called a “Head House.” There he was recruited to join Klaxons society. They educated Harrison on what the world was like prior to his time, and how ugly it had been before the equality amendments. He later saw the corruption in this society and how unfair and unethical it is to the general public that would never get to truly express themselves, listen to music, or watch anything meaningful. This caused him to rebel against Klaxon and his society, even if he had to pay the ultimate sacrifice. He locked himself in the television control room and exposed Klaxons secret society and urged them to take off their handicaps and sit down to watch some real television. During the movie he did this fully knowing that guards sent by John to stop him were cutting through the door and that he would probably be locked up in prison or worse. This was an act of rebellion against the immoral society he lived in and he wanted to bring that society down. He was willing to give up his life to get his ideology across to the general public. The guards caught Harrison after the incident and was they brought him on a talk show to explain that his actions and ideals were fake, but proceeds to commit suicide on air to show the public what he said was true. During the movie he does this because he doesn't want

Jake is a loving and protective person. There was a occasion where Jake, his girlfriend, Lauren,

It shows how Jake is persistent and dedicated to his job, even if it always seems like he is in over his head. Jake, however, also departs from the film noir tradition when he lets his emotions get the best of him. The greatest example of this is seen during the exchange between him and Evelyn when he is trying to find out the truth about Katherine. Resorting for the first time to violence against a woman, the near desperation with which Jake pushes Evelyn to confess is an expression of his fears and anxieties about being completely lost amidst the lies that surround him. The result is the humanization of Jake Giddes’ character. He simply is not perfect, and ultimately fails to see the bigger picture of what he is involved with until .

A blue house, red shutters, and a white picket fence with a border collie. Three kids are running around in the front lawn up on a hilltop. That is what the American dream is right? The American dream is truly in the eye of the beholder. One might think that the American dream is an apartment in downtown Los Angeles, but others might want the smell of fresh cut grass in a small suburb. It’s whatever the person who is working for it wants it to be. As we can see in the play, all of the main characters might be striving for an American dream, but none of them are striving for their same American dream.
