Modern Day Miranda Dialectical Journal

Paragraph 1 tone : He seems nervous about this trip He says ,“We’ve all been up since midnight, starting our predive checks after a couple of restless hours of sleep, and the whole team is running on adrenaline. These are the roughest conditions I’ve dived in so far on the expedition” The way he says that they’ve been up the whole night doing checks without sleep and how this is one of the roughest conditions he has dived in so far just gives the sense of nervousness if he will make the challenge.

“But I don’t want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.” “In fact,” said Mustapha Mond, “you’re claiming the right to be unhappy.” “All right then,” said the Savage defiantly, “I’m claiming the right to be unhappy,” This significant quote from Brave New World had moved innumerable readers’ heart, so do I. Exaggeration? No. It’s the satire to the false meaning of the universal happiness, and it’s this quote which made me had rethink what do I really want and the way of living I want to choose. Because the deep influence and rumination brought by the book, I would like to say

1) “They carried the soldier’s greatest fear, which was the fear of blushing. Men killed, and died, because they were embarrassed not to. It was what had brought them to the war in the first place, nothing positive, no dreams of glory or honor, just to avoid the blush of dishonor. They died so as not to die of embarrassment” (O’Brien 20).

1. I would put myself in the place of the man on the horse he looks like he could be the leader, so the leader.

Ten years ago on the sun there was a girl named Emily she was just five years old and so was her twin their mom and dad thought that it would be better to send them to Earth in a separate rocket well when the rockets left the ground Octavios came and stole their mom and dad. Emma her twin got stuck on a twig and those are very dangerous because if you touch anything like that on the sun you may die. and then the rocket started to catch on fire and it almost caught her on fire with it but it didn't she got out at the perfect moment because it blew up right after she started to fly away and she was shocked because she have

“I doubt it is no other but the main:/His father’s death, and our o’erhasty marriage.” (2.2.56-57)

ME) Paul now you have all of the necessary information to you along your journey. It will not be an overnight fix, However if you stay committed to steps we both agreed on you will be just fine.

“I know what will make you feel better. Let’s play the happy game,” called the sound of Freddy’s voice.

Before me loomed the old observatory which would be our home for the next year. Its walls were an expanse of red brick stacked on red brick, contrasting the two white front doors and the white domed tower. It sat atop Henrick Cliff with large fields sloping down from the front of the house. The tower could be seen rising from the back of the house, with the cliffs edge and sea beyond that. The observatory looked like a forgotten castle, waiting for the next rulers to occupy it.

You had never thought of yourself as an object, nor did you ever truly think of yourself as human being. You were simple existed with no real meaning. If you thought about it deep enough, you might conclude it was for your sister, the leader of some gang in the midst of some unknown town on the east coast of the US. You remember the nights she crawled into your bed when her night terrors became too much and you missed the warmth of her slipping her arm around you as she cried into your back. You wondered how she would be getting along without you now, considering she gave you up.

The quote is important because the colors Jean see’s are look at differently from seeing differences in people. Jean does not see a difference between whites and black’s. “She was color blind.” (Narrator, 122) The word refers herself due to Atticus raising Jean to treat everyone equally. My opinion about the quote is that the color are referred to how she was raised and see’s a different point of view of people. In the end, Jean Louise sees the truth about herself and her opinions about her father and the world around her.

As a young boy, Clegg, the antagonist, grew up alone with no parents and no role model to look up to. This is why he feels so lonely and has the need to kidnap Miranda Gray, the protagonist. He needed a female figure to give his life meaning. Fowles stated, “It's just you’re all I got that makes life worth living” (Fowles 51). Clegg felt such strong loneliness that he had the need to kidnap Miranda and have her for the rest of his life, with no thoughts of letting her go. This incorporates feminist literary theory, because during her captivity, Miranda had no means of escape. Even after several attempts at escape, Clegg still proved to be superior and would not let her go. In many pieces of literature, the kidnapper usually ends up using their prisoners for personal needs, disregarding the needs of the hostage. Clegg, on the other hand, did not want Miranda for sexual relations. He had a very high standard of respect for Miranda and felt as though she was not like any other women. Clegg notes, “She was not like some other woman you don’t respect so you don't care what you do, you respected her and you had to be very careful” (Fowles 39). This justifies the fact that Clegg did not want anything from Miranda, just her company and for her to stay in his life. After stalking Miranda for two years, he figured out her ways and personality- she has an interest in

Saturday morning Danny unexpectedly threw me for a loop when he announced that we would ride on horseback to Monteverde. Much to my displeasure and chagrin, I had to get on a horse. He gave us the option to take the bus that was also taking our luggage, but when I looked around and saw no one else taking the offer, I decided to not take the bus on the less traveled and let me tell you, it made all the difference. By the end of our excursion on the horses, my butt was killing me. It made my highly justified reason to hate horses and the riding of them, a little more

Growing up poor and uneducated, Clegg knows Miranda is out of his league, but cannot bring himself to forget her. Even after winning the football pool, Clegg’s unrefined upbringing and awkward social skills stand in the way of ever meeting her, let alone falling in love. Instead of moving on, Clegg uses the winnings to help him live out a sick fantasy of taking Miranda into his collection. From her capture, Clegg uses mental and physical torture to isolate Miranda, break her will and place himself at the center of her world. He uses gifts to comfort her while he quietly sits at a distance, fascinated by her beauty. Several times he mentions how lucky Maranda must be to have him as her captor instead of someone with “nasty” (28) intentions. Indeed, Clegg does not want anything nasty with Miranda. Mentally scarred by thoughts of a mother who was “a women of the streets” (3) and raised by frigid Aunt Annie ensures Clegg sees any form intimacy as nasty and vile. Unknowingly, Miranda triggers Clegg by offering her body in romance. Initially, he is scared and compliant but as he’s impotence emerges to light, Clegg blames Miranda comparing her to a prostitute. Soon after he is back demanding photos Miranda “would be ashamed to let anyone else see” (51), pretending as if he wants leverage in case she escapes. In reality, Clegg is an observer and can only feel pleasure from afar. He says “I could take my time with them (photos). They didn’t

He claims that he “never had anything to do with women. [He] never thought about women much before Miranda” (8). But he has assimilated his Aunt’s beliefs and when he goes to have sex with a woman, he claims, “[he is] too nervous” (9). He was with a prostitute and justifies his inability to have sex with the prostitute because, Miranda would not approve of him having sex with a prostitute. Clegg thinks that the act of sex is nasty but he has magazines of pornography, which he hides from Aunt Annie and he soon wants to buy “books of stark women and all that” (10). Clegg uses the magazines and books as a sexual release. When Miranda seduces Clegg and Clegg gets aroused, he does not have sex with her; instead “[he tells] her [he] knew [he] could never do it. [He] made up a long story so that she would pity [him]” (106). Miranda seduces Clegg in order to teach him that “sex is just an activity, like anything else. [It is] not dirty, [it is] just two people playing with each other’s bodies. Like dancing. Like a game” (107). When Miranda attempts to seduce Clegg, she falls in Clegg’s eyes from a beautiful virginal woman who can do no wrong, to a woman who is dirty and a whore. Because of this falling Clegg claims, “[he] never respected her again” (109). Clegg then photographs Miranda with her head not in the photo as pornography, and he takes pleasure in looking at the photos because “[he]
