Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

                    The theme of the story is to always know the truth behind your knowledge. The reason why this is the theme is  because his dad gave him knowledge about the place of the gods. After his dad gave him knowledge he eventually decided to go explore this place and he found that his knowledge was the opposite from the truth. The theme is that even though you may have knowledge about what  a person tells you, you should still find out the truth.

As the human race makes life-changing discoveries, it is made apparent that there is always more to learn as the universe, instead of becoming familiar, is becoming absurd. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, written by Douglas Adams, as well as the 2005 film adaption, portrays absurdity to be an all-encompassing system in the universe. Through the introduction and attempt to understand lack of reason, the narration of important elements and the human perception of the universe, the novel is as a whole, more complete than the film. With these points it is irrefutable that The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy develops the theme of absurdity with greater prowess than the film, resulting in a deeper

Emotions can be a war all by itself, when mixed in oneself it can be a “deadly disease” and could lead to life changing decisions. For example, in Seabiscuit Red pollard had this “disease”, as shown in chapter twenty two. During his recovery, Pollard was having trouble accepting he may never ride again, instead he waged a war inside himself battling this “impossible” outcome. Dimintrasting his passion to get up and keep on going even when people and even the odds tell him no.

The theme of Life As We Knew it is survive, thrive, and love your family. The theme helped me understand this book because after finding out the theme I could understand who:is the main character, what:Is the main idea, where:is The setting and why things were happening and connect it to the theme. Not only that but,throughout the book I was constantly thinking about the theme.

For example, Paul watches as the, “man gurgles. It sounds to me as though he bellows, every gasping breath is like a cry, a thunder”(216). Comparing the dying soldier's gasping breath to thunder shows the intensity of the scene. This creates a depressing tone because Paul has to watch the man painfully die, who he did not not even want to kill, with his cries as intense as thunder. After reading this scene, one can imagine the intensity of the cries and bleak mood surrounding the atmosphere. The images of the man gurgling and his cries make people feel very sorrowful for the french soldier's slow painful death. In addition, the dying man, “has an invisible dagger with which he stabs me”(221). The imagery of the dying soldier stabbing the man creates a melancholy mood because it makes one think of brutalness of war. It is oppressing to think how people must constantly kill in order to survive. This causes readers to feel sorrowful for both Paul and the dying man because it is bitter that these two men have to try and kill one another, even if they do not want to harm each

“The Power of Mysteries” by Alan Lightman and “I Could Be Wrong” by Allan Barger reveal a commonality of the appreciation of uncertainty. Lightman’s essay describes his experiences in question asking, answer seeking, and coming to realizations. The essay provides a retrospect into Lightman’s younger years where he asked questions such as, “Does time go on forever?” (Lightman). As Lightman grew older and became an astrophysicist, he found that he could not answer any of the questions he asked himself as a child. The feeling of not being able to establish an answer to the unknown continues to give Lightman exhilaration, and it is greatly shown in his essay. He treasures the concept of not being able to solve a mystery. Lightman reveals

The general consensus in the academic world is that knowledge is power that can solve humanity’s problems. Sometimes, it is clouded by greed, or it lights the way for a better humanity. Scientists experiment to prove new theories, artists sculpt to express emotion and theologians study to provide interpretations of biblical stories. Therein lies the problem, while society is always searching for knowledge, to date there is no singular “foolproof” method of obtaining it. In the movie “The Theory of Everything,” Stephen Hawking has a “eureka” moment when pulling a sweater over his head and seeing flames through the material. In this case, it seemed that serendipity played a role in his search for truth. This led me to wonder, to what extent is the discovery of knowledge a matter of serendipity that can then go on to solve problems? While an exploration of whether knowledge is produced only to solve problems in the Natural Sciences may be more obvious, its application to Mathematics and Indigenous Knowledge may draw some interesting observations.

The green Martians are fifteen feet tall and have six legs; two arms and two legs. John Carter calls them, “hideous little monsters” (15). Burroughs’s describes them with scrawny bodies and long necks. As Burroughs says in the novel, “There was no hair on their bodies, which were of a very light yellowish-green color. In the adults, as I was to learn quite soon, this color deepens to an olive green
