“One Out of Many” by V.S. Naipaul

Whether you’re an animal in a cage or a boy on the last day of school, freedom is important. This is the theme of the passage from Boy’s Life written by Robert McCammon and the story “Emancipation: A Life Fable” written by Kate Chopin. The passage is about a boy named Cory who is in class on the last day of school, so eager to be free and “A Life Fable “ is about an animal who was born in a cage which eventually is opened and the animal leaves and realizes it's happier than before. These two stories both come to the same theme of how important freedom is, but in different ways. These two stories seem so different, but they have some similarities on how they come to the conclusion of freedom.

“They wept together, for the things they now knew.”(104) The last sentence of the first story in Interpreter of Maladies, reveals the cruelty of the elapsed romance in a marriage. In the two collections, A Temporary Matter and The Third and Final Continent, Jhumpa Lahiri demonstrates that a marriage can be either uplifting or discouraging depends on the mindset held by the couple and the strength of human bonding. Lahiri emphasizes the significance of mindset and human bondings through the ending of the two stories. The endings of the two stories are polar opposite : In A Temporary Matter, Shukumar and Shobha weeps for the termination of their relationship; The Third and Final Continent, by contrast, the protagonist(MIT) enjoys a fairytale-like

Have you ever thought about what it would be like not to be free? What would it be like not to be able to make choices? What would it be like not to be able to do what you want? It's scary to think about not being free, but even in the world today some people don't even have basic human freedoms. Lois Lowry shows us in her books The Giver and Gathering Blue what it would be like not to have freedom and how important it is that we have it.

n my mind this means in you can grant someone with freedom, do not worry about getting it yourself you do not deserve it. These two stories affected me because I value having my freedom. All the similarities and differences are related to the way the society runs and it’s lack of freedom. Within this essay, I am going to tell you about how the book Anthem and the movie The Island are similar and different.

Once an individual realizes that life is giving him a second chance, he transforms into a new breed of a man; there is an innovation of ideas that arise in him as he realizes that there is no correlation between being safe and staying alive. Ashoke Ganguli becomes a new man after miraculously surviving a train accident on his way to visit his recently blinded grandfather, who was awaiting for his grandchild to give him more books, his getaways from the real world. Moreover, the train accident became the defining moment of Ashoke Ganguli as his love for fiction books became nothing more than a former hobby. The train accident stirred the callow man’s dormant dreams, as he realized that his life is not secured. In Jhumpa Lahiri’s novel, The

At the beginning of this paper, I stated that freedom was a key concept in the

Question: Describe a situation, either from your own experience or someone you know, where a moral act led to freedom. Explain why you think the moral act led to freedom. In your explanation, refer to the four ‘types’ of freedom that Melchin explains in Chapter three.

The general argument that the author Pico Iyer makes in his article, “Where Worlds Collide” is how much our own culture identity can affect the way that we perceive the world around us. Iyer uses his imagery and allusion filled narrative to convey to reader how much our own backgrounds influence us. He accomplishes this by describing an airport in Los Angeles from the point of view of a stranger who is most likely migrating from another country to the United States in hopes of finding a better life. He writes, “... lights are flashing everywhere, and the man who finds them $16 for losing their parking ticket has the tribal scars of Tigre across his face.” In this passage, Iyer is suggesting that the strangers see the man with the scars

“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion,” is a quote written by Albert Camus, which displays the complexity of defining the term freedom. Jean-Paul Sartre’s play “The Flies,” defines the concept of freedom as the accountability of one’s own guilt, which allows individuals to recognize their own freedom. Furthermore, an individual that accepts accountability for one’s own guilt and responsibility for the city, or complete isolation, is living in freedom. Likewise, Zora Neal Hurston’s novel Their Eyes Were Watching God explores the notion of being or becoming absolutely free, finding her voice,

Preliminary Thesis: I will persuade future American generations that freedom is a privilege. We Americans need to stop taking our freedom for granted because there are people who wished to have the opportunity to be free the way we do.

Personally, the importance of one’s freedom in life is drawn upon by the lives of my grandparents. Although my maternal grandmother and grandfather are 75 and 77 years of age, respectively, they continue to live fulfilling and productive lives. It is not to be said that they have not suffered from problems related to aging, such as my grandfather suffering from severe arthritis, but they value their freedom to continue living their own lives more than anything. The true worth of their ability to write their own stories is most evident in the fact that they are motivated to continue to write them throughout old age.

The plot in the short story “Hindus” demonstrates how a certain sequence of events can help people better understand themselves. Leela meets many different and unique people on her journey throughout

Just as every plants and animal as evolved and changed throughout the course of its existence so has the definition of freedom while its’ meaning has stayed constant. Freedom has a perpetual meaning, however, humans have tried to change the definition based upon moral, ethical, social, and legal ideals that have through history been debated upon and never satisfied all. Freedoms’ perpetual meaning is that everyone, no matter race or gender, has the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. As time progresses and new ideas flourish the definition of freedom either flourishes along with society or takes a drastic spiral downward usually with the opinions of humanity. In this essay we will be

binary oppositions in V.S. Naipaul’s short story ‘The Flag on the Island’. This aim is achieved via using Derrida’s deconstruction and Bhabha’s definition of these terms. Considering culture as a means of domination to get possession of control over the instruments of ‘collective self-definition’ is considered as a very significant policy in the political and cultural conflict for emancipation. This article focuses on a tension between recently autonomous nation and former colonial beliefs which results in binarism between modern and traditional values that led to the denigration of non-Western cultures. Therefore, the writer attempts to show how the characters of this story make effort to abolish this idea and retrieve the local and native traditions that were destructed during colonialism. This study concentrates on all characters and examines their contradictions and their effort for consistency that can be discussed through a deconstructive analysis.
