In A Separate Peace by John Knowles, the author utilizes simile and hyperbole to show the lesson, when jealous of someone, one should not assume another's feelings, as it may deepen their jealousy. While studying in his dorm, Gene, the protagonist, contemplates his jealousy towards his

Jealousy is someting that can cloud the minds of even the most smartest people.It can friends enemies and blur people's judgment and convince themselves of something that is false .throughout the book anger is a big motivator for the characters.

In today’s society, a lot of people are discontented with what they have but they are envious or jealous of someone else's possession. Jealousy is one of the most crucial but untouched problems in our everyday lives because it could lead to something big but never gets solved when it's still small. It could lead to things like stealing or murder. In the two books we read in class Fahrenheit 451 and All summer in a day, both book or short story had similar themes and similar lessons. Beliefs and Jealously were a very clear theme throughout each of the books and In my essay, I will be talking about how they were treated by those around them for their beliefs, and how those around them were jealous.

No matter where we live, it is no wonder that different people experience different levels of achievements and relatively different kinds of evaluation by other people in every area in life. Most people want the evaluation towards themselves to be more favorable than the one towards others. In most cases, these values in the process of evaluation are viewed in a more honorable manner. On the contrary, these values can be hated by others, which defines as jealousy as a feeling of being fearful of being displaced by a rival. The book, “Three Day Road” by Joseph Boyden, manifests a great theme of jealousy between both protagonists, Xavier and Elijah, who play their roles as the snipers during the First World War. The story demonstrates a bitter act of jealousy by whom the spotlight shines upon; jealousy of fame. As many would agree, based on the evidence from the story, jealousy is a harmful act which has negative influences on human relationships, emotional stability, and human nature.

Jealousy makes us see a blinding red . Jealousy is described in the two stories “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut, and “All Summer In a Day” by Ray Bradbury. The story “Harrison Bergeron” is about the society wanting everyone to be the same so there is no room for jealousy, and “All Summer In a Day” is about a nine year old girl named Margot that argues with her classmates that the sun comes out every seven years. The moral of the two stories is that jealousy can blind you.

Do you think our society is truly equal? In the short story of “Harrison Bergeron”, the 211th, 212th, and 213th amendments make everyone “equal”. These amendments make nobody faster, stronger, smarter, or as good looking as anyone else. I believe, however, that everyone in that story truly wasn’t equal. I know this because only the gifted of “Harrison Bergeron” had to wear handicaps, the handicapped were treated differently, and only on the outside, were they truly equal.

Since people have handicaps, it is hard for them to be their self and good at something. When the television program was interrupted the announcer “like all announcers, he had a serious speech impediment”(Vonnegut 3). The announcer eventually gave up speaking on the announcement because his handicap was making it hard for him to speak, so he gave it to a ballerina to read. And when George watches the ballerinas dance he realizes that “they weren’t really very good- no better than anybody else would have been, anyway. They were burdened with sashweights and bags of birdshot, and their faces were masked”(Vonnegut 1). This quote shows that they were just as good as anyone else would have been since they were weighted down by birdshot and their beautiful faces were masked so no one would be jealous of them.

Handicaps had to be warn at all times if you wanted to take out a few balls out of your bag the penalty would be two years in prison and a two thousand

Jealousy, it is one of the most complex human emotions. Everyone experiences jealousy, but each person reacts upon it differently. In A Separate Peace by John Knowles, Gene is envious toward his lifelong friend Finny. The article “Jealousy: Love’s Destroyer” by Hara Marano, jealousy is perceived as a survival instrument. The video “Ode to Envy” by Parul Sehgal, jealousy can be seen as natural. All three sources identify how each person acts differently in a situation that revolves around envy. In the novel A Separate Piece, by John Knowles, the article “Jealousy: Love’s Destroyer”, by Hara Estroff Marano, and the video “Ode to Envy”, by Parul Sehgal, each author shows that jealousy causes each individual to react differently.

Jealousy is an emotion very evident in our society. We often compare ourselves to others, noticing what they have that we do not, most commonly in terms of money or looks. Even those close to us spark our jealousy, maybe a friend or sibling; although most wouldn't admit the fact. Author John Knowles touches on this subject in his first published novel A Separate Peace. Through the voice of Gene, Knowles uses figurative language in a self-deprecating tone to show jealousy, as evident in the passage, “The second wave, as it tore toward the beach with me, spewed me a little ahead of it, encroaching rapidly; suddenly it was immeasurably bigger than I was, it rushed me from the control of gravity and took control of me itself; the wave threw me

In the play Othello, jealousy is shown to be very evident through the actions of the characters. Jealousy is an emotion that everyone shares, and it is ultimately responsible for the tragic ending of the play. Everyone feels jealous at certain times of their lives, and this feeling can cause people to do irrational things. This human emotion also shows people to be weak in the sense that they are never happy with what they have. Shakespeare shows through Othello, Iago, Roderigo, and Brabantio that jealousy is the most corrupt and destructive emotion.

One example of jealousy is when Gene and Finny are walking down the street, coming from the beach, when Gene noticed how everyone was staring at Finny. Gene described Finny as “His skin radiated a reddish copper glow of tan, his brown hair had been bleached by the sun, and I noticed that the tan made his eyes shine with a cool blue-green fire” (Knowles 40). Gene shows jealousy by noticing how much Finny was standing out and being noticed by everyone else, while no one noticed him.

Jealousy is described as someone who is feeling or showing envy of someone because of their achievements and advantages. Jealousy plays a major role in Shakespeare’s play Othello. There are many instances throughout the play that show jealousy between the characters. Throughout the play, jealousy is used for destructive purposes only. I believe that Iago longed to get revenge on Othello for previous issues. This only results in a long line of accusations and disputes between the characters in Othello.

But jealousy, and especially sexual jealousy, brings with it a sense of shame and humiliation. For this reason it is generally hidden; if we perceive it we ourselves are ashamed and turn our eyes away; and when it is not hidden it commonly stirs contempt as well as pity. Nor is this all. Such jealousy as Othello’s
