Ice And Fire By John Carpenter

This is an analysis of motivating factors in Stephen King’s novel, The Long Walk. This analysis will be connecting some of the themes and terms used in Professor Maclin’s Motivation and Emotion hybrid course to the book’s main character, Garraty and his small group of allies. Physiological needs used in the novel include themes such as the need for homeostasis. Motivation is a strong factor in the novel and will be connected to the textbook’s chapter associated with information about intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Finally, this analysis will expand on psychological needs; focusing mostly on the character’s need for relatedness will be covered in relation to the Stephen King novel.

Throughout their childhood and later adult life Dick and Perry are exposed to experiences which contribute to their lawlessness in the book In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. Recurring trends throughout each man’s lives such as their involvements in traumatic car accidents and higher education contribute to their unstable mental being, which eventually leads to the murders of the Clutter family. In Cold Blood argues that Dick and Perry’s backgrounds make their criminality inevitable.

The novel, In Cold Blood by Truman Capote would be a good, diverse addition to the ENG 3U course for many reasons, beginning with how the novel is non-fiction, but still manages to create a story line, while remaining appealing for the reason that it differs from most novels on course syllabus to the way the author can make you feel for the characters.

In In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, the device of juxtaposition is used to contrast the differing mental states of Dick and Perry, which is emphasized by the syntax, diction, and tone throughout the two passages. Capote uses opposing accounts of the same situation to add a deeper characterization of the two men, and to emphasize their differences psychologically. Throughout the book Capote attempts to show the true complexity of the killers, and how their backgrounds and psyches affected their actions. Although Capote is talking in the third person omniscient, he changes his style when describing the two characters.

In other words, the story “Horseman in the Sky” by Ambrose Bierce he makes a widespread use of imagery in order to describe location, the horseman, and the officer’s search. At this point the reader must know that the setting plays a significant role in not only the plot but also in establishing theme. By the end of the story it was discovered that the horse thought to be flying actually was shoot down by the main character Carter Druse. Not only did Carter shoot the horse but he also killed the man on it which was later revealed to be his

Fictional writers often write about the human condition as a way to connect with readers who contain narrow knowledge. In fictional books, characters are given emotion and senses like any other actual person, which can make the reader relate quicker in detail unlike factual novels. In other words, readers gain a new perspective on a period of time by examining a fiction novel. Ironically, some argue fiction can educate us about part of our life by enabling us to relate and empathize. I am certain that many people can learn factual items in fictional stories. In Kindred, by Octavia Butler, the near death experiences of Rufus Weylin transported an African American woman named Dana from 1976, to the antebellum south to gain an unbelievable experience of what it is like to have been a slave. Through her daily life on the Weylin plantation, the reader begins to understand just how complicated slavery is and how it affects both the slaves and the plantation owners. This novel gave a new definition of reality and a new meaning of the 19th century exploitation practice.

Education offers endless doors of opportunity for the people who pursue it. Not only does knowledge breed confidence, but it sets society on a path and purpose towards success. Wandering without a purpose, people lose their goals and aspirations. Some individuals never find direction, developing a sense of insecurity and isolation. They begin to have thoughts which result as defense mechanisms to safeguard them from feeling alone and abnormal. When these reactions happen, the outcome of their actions become unpredictable, and potentially dangerous. Moreover these individuals will create their own world from their insecurities and act on them like reality. Often, these cases embody victims of mental disorders, overlooked by society. In Cold Blood by Truman Capote suggests criminals deserve careful analysis, an unpopular opinion; he refers to the lives of two characters, dreams shattered, suffering from the same fate. Through the investigation of a detective bureau and the author 's interpretation, the perpetrators symbolize a bigger picture. Although the details of the crime convey Perry as a cold-blooded murderer, Capote illustrates Perry as a victim of his childhood by emphasizing his insecurities and fears.

Puritans and reformers of seventeenth century England have been given a bad name for their part in history. This is primarily because they were working against the grain and trying to create change in world that saw change as a threat. The time period was turbulent and there was bound to be resistance in a world that was dominated by Catholics and those that had reformed to abide by their King’s law. The puritans of the time were considered extreme and rubbed people the wrong way because they wanted a world that abided by their morals and ethical codes. For this, they took the blame for the misery that many suffered during this age, but as we see in Fire from Heaven, this is not a fair assessment. The Puritans of this time wanted to improve the lives of the people and society as a whole through morality and purity.

assumed that Billy Pilgrim relives his war-time experiences on a near daily basis. Another thing is that Billy avoids connections with people like his mother, and even his own fiancé.

“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do!” (Luke. 23.34). These were Jesus’s last words before the Jews crucified him. James Baldwin includes this verse in his essay, “The Fire Next Time” to compare the way white people treat black people to the way the Jews treated Jesus. The Jews did not realize who Jesus was and they were outraged because claimed he was the son of God, therefore they crucified him. Today, white people are similarly unaware, for they do not know what they are doing; they claim they are not racist, but they are deluded. They believe they are righteous people, meanwhile they rationalize racist aspects of society such as mass incarceration and police brutality.

Stephen King’s fore note to Danse Macabre, he suggested that zombies act as fast-moving terrorists. “By 2004, only three years downriver from 9/11, rampant consumerism was the last thing on our minds. What haunted our nightmares was the idea of suicide bombers driven by an unforgiving (and unthinking, most of us believed) ideology and religious fervor. You could beat ’em , burn ’em , but they’d just keep coming, the news reports assured us.” (King 40) Here Stephen King says that terrorists are relentless killers. What Stephen King is not mentioning, is that terrorists are not necessarily fast moving and neither are all zombies. Stephen King is generalizing zombies and terrorists which, makes his argument weaker than it appears. There are many myths about zombies in literature and movies that do not fit the characteristics in which King is discusses. Some other examples of zombies, such as the Resident Evil films, portray zombies in a different way. In Edgar Allan Poe’s The Tell-Tale Heart he describes a man with a disfigurement that gives us insight to the true nature of the fear created by zombies.

The film Bears Discover Fire written by Terry Bisson is a film that was produced by college students. This film covers many different controversial topics. The book allows for many different perceptions of these topics to be seen.. Although the title of the film has a scientific feeling, it is more of a fantasy than a science fiction film. In the film “Bears Discover fire” one may interpret the movie as more of a fantasy film, with that being said the elements of a fantasy story base line can be perceived in a much bigger picture.

The title of this poem is ‘’Fire and Ice’’ it is written by Robert Frost and is in a first person point of view. A group of people discuss how the world will end, either in fire or in ice and the narrator shares his personal experiences of “ice’’ and ‘’fire’’. There are many ways the words in this poem can be interpreted, at first glance it seems like Frost is talking about the end of the world but it also can be about the power that human beings have to harm and destroy one another. When reading this I kept seeing the world ending in a great ball of fire like a nuclear war or a meteor turning everything to ashes and a new ice age also bringing destruction to all living things but I was taking the words to literal. You might have heard the quote “ice cold’’ I think Frost meant to say that people can be filled with such hate that eventually a person becomes emotionless leading me to believe that maybe he was suffering from overwhelming distress from a recent relationship and had brought up these thoughts about the world.
