It is fascinating when two people from completely different backgrounds have common characteristics. A world of poverty is depicted in Liz Murray’s book Breaking Night (2010). The memoir tells the struggles of a young girl’s journey from living on the city streets to attending one of the top schools in the country. Although our lives are quite different, Liz Murray and I show similar traits through struggle and success.
Upon the arrival of Bianca, we see a false thaw in the weather. As Lars introduce Bianca to Karin (Lars’s sister in law) and Gus(Lars’s brother) the false thaw signifies Lars begging to open himself up to Karin and Gus through the arrival of Bianca. The deceptive thaw, a few patches grass and a glimmer of sunlight, symbolizes Lars emotional retrieval. Through the unconditional love and lack of criticism he desires Bianca provides him, Lars begins to interact with the community having Bianca close by as a protective armor. However it is only false thaw, as Bianca is only plastic and will never be able to provide him with true fulfillment. However the way the community plays along with Bianca gives lars the chance to find his own identity in his own time and in his own way. As an audience we see the immense healing power a community can have if the come together to support an individual.
Individuality is the supreme catalyst that guides people to feel self-worth and become emboldened in their pursuits. It is the mentality that gives humans clarity and uniqueness that make the world interesting. It is what allows each person to be respected in his/her own way. In the stories Night and Persepolis, the motif of individuality is emphatically expressed. It is portrayed as essential to the hope of the masses. When individuality is suppressed people lose virtues/self respect/humanity, motivation/will to live and faith. In essence, they give up the idea of anything else except their suffering. As thousands die, the protagonists (of Night and Persepolis)

The character of Lars seems to be a fantastical person who couldn’t really exist in real life. Truth is, there are many people like him who struggle to have relationships with others due to mental illness. Lars is able to find a way to channel his insecurities of personal relationships onto Bianca, whom is a realistic looking sex doll. Ironically, Lars never has sex with Bianca, he treats her as a real human being and forces his community to accept Bianca in ways he never imagined. This acceptance from the community turns out to effect how Lars views Bianca over time, and they unknowingly help Lars grow to have feelings for a real girl named Margot.

Everything changes for 20-year-old Vivien when she discovers she is the heir to Foh’Ran, a world where a magical force rules the lives of humans and vampires. Returning to her family’s ancestral castle, she faces responsibilities she never imagined - and never wanted. When confronted with a choice, it’s love that keeps her from returning to Earth.
As a result from having Bianca and the support from his family and friends, Lars is able to fully grow into a mature adult man. The gap between illusion and reality has been bridged, as Lars realizes his true wants and needs after he creates and ultimately destroys Bianca. Lars is now able to have intimate moments with people and be able to touch them without feeling pain. This is most evident in the bowling scene with Margo. Margo invites him to go bowling with her, and Lars comments that Bianca is unable to come because of a meeting. Usually, Lars would reject any social gathering, especially without the accompaniment of Bianca, though this time he accepts. Lars becomes a participant rather than just an observer. He realizes that he enjoyed his time with Margo, however he tells her that he could never cheat on Bianca. Lars is still holding on to Bianca’s existence, but he feels that he may be ready to let go and have a relationship with someone real. This scene is also where Lars allows himself to shed one of his layers and shake Margo’s hand — a huge leap in his development. There is, however, a false thaw when it begins to snow again, symbolizing that Lars is still not fully out of his shell, as long as Bianca exists. This shows the main conflict between illusion and reality that Lars must be able to reconcile. In order to have a relationship with someone real, he must let go of Bianca. The reading in the church in the next scene is significant in Lars’s development. The reading says, “When I was a child, I spoke as a
Manfred throws around death threats and searching for the girl mercilessly pushing everyone out of the way. Manfred, on several accounts, attempts to kill Theodore for reasons related to Isabella. Working against Manfred’s cause, Theodore facilitates Isabella’s escape from the castle and Manfred wants to kill him for it. As if Manfred searching for her wasn’t enough she also has her father racing against Manfred to find her thus causing more tension as they compete. Since Isabella ran away and now has all these people out for her, Theodore is protecting her and ends up fighting off a knight and wounding him. That knight, however, was Isabella’s father, so indirectly; Isabella’s actions caused her father to be wounded. Isabella’s simple decision to take the path of self-happiness over the typical submissive woman caused all of these events in the story. Her aversion from her social expectations is what made this story one of excitement and not a story of the typical workings of society. Isabella, following what she believed would make her happy, drove the story into one of more suspense and conflict.
