According the Merriam Webster dictionary the definition of virtue is: conformity to a standard of right. So according to this definition, avoiding evil is not sufficient enough to make one virtuous. In the book Out of the Silent Planet it seems that Ransom doesn’t try to avoid evil, but at the same time he doesn’t try to go towards evil. However, you can tell that according to the definition of virtue, Ransom is indeed virtuous.

Out of the silent planet by C.S Lewis is a novel that denotes the difference between the social system on planet earth and the planet Malacandra. In Malacandra, groups live in harmony with one another and complement each other. On earth, the social system is brutal and evil. The novel is a science fiction that covers Dr. Ransoms (major character) adventures and encounters on a planet that is entirely different from earth. Ransoms lands into this planet by accident after being kidnapped by two evil men (Devine and Weston) and transported to the planet Malacandra (Mars) by spacecraft. In Planet Malacandra, Ransoms encounters the three different creatures that inhabit the planet, hrossa, sorns, and pfifltriggi. He

C.S. Lewis produced a book that conveys vivid scenery, relatable characters, and a vague but detailed plot that gave rise to a novel with wonderful clarity. Out of the Silent Planet is an account of the voyage of Ransom, a linguist, who is kidnapped and taken to another planet, Malacandra (Mars). Where he learns that Thulcandra (Earth) is called the silent planet because there has been no communication from it in years. On the voyage there he is led to believe he will be sacrificed. Instead, the creatures that inhabit the other world reveal extraordinary secrets about the nature of man and the universe to him. Ransom is ultimately sent back to Thulcandra with the two earthlings who had

In the novel “All Quiet on the Western Front” Remarque uses the earth to show the despair and anguish that was brought up by war and to reveal it’s true effects. In the beginning of the novel it states,”From the earth, from the air, sustaining forces pour into us--mostly from the earth. To no man does the earth mean so much as to the soldier. When he presses himself down upon her long and powerfully, when he buries his face and his limbs deep in her from the fear of death by shell-fire, then she is his only friend, his brother, his mother; he stifles his terror and his cries in her silence and her security; she shelters him and releases him for ten seconds to live, to run, ten seconds of life; receives him again and often for ever.”(55) In this passage, the earth is portrayed as a mother and brother figure for the soldiers which means the earth is

Individuality on Malacandra and on Earth In Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis, there are many different species of beings that all live on Malacandra and are able to get along with each other, whereas on Earth, humans are always trying to be better than everyone else at all that we do. Due to this drastic change in the way of living, the beings of Malacandra seem to have a perception that differs greatly from that of the humans on Earth. Thus life on Malacandra is better than life on Earth because those on Malacandra celebrate individual abilities and those on Earth are pressured to be good at just about everything.

Silence is a peaceful concept. Erich Maria Remarque writes on silence in his novel, All Quiet on the Western Front, and explains that it is one of the most terrifying parts of the war. One can only imagine the horror that goes on behind the quiet in a seemingly loud event. Silence in war is not necessarily everything coming to a halt, but also the absence of a comrades breath, or total realization of life being sucked out of someone. War is like disease, everything it touches contaminates the idea and changes it. The gruesome effects of war alter the meaning of silence from a desire to a necessity.

Paul Getty didn't pay the ransom because he said "if I were to pay this one ransome then all 14 of my grandchildren will get kidnapped". So the kidnappers decided instead of killing Paul Getty III they would cut off his ear and send it through the mail to his family along with a note saying "if we do not get the ransom you will be receiving more body parts soonly". Finally the grandfather decided to pay half of the ransom and later they found Paul Getty III in an alley with a missing ear and shivering. After Paul got better he went to get ahold of his grandfather to thank him but only to get

The founder of the Planetree is Angelica Thieriot (Sharrow & Durand, 2012). Thieriot made Planetree symbolize a sycamore tree. The sycamore tree was the location where Hippocrates taught his medical students the art and science of healing. “Wherever the art of medicine is loved, there is a love of humanity,” Hippocrates once said. Planetree is bringing back the healing principals that Hippocrates believed in. (Planetree: An Introduction – Huelat Davis | Healing Design (Formerly Huelat Parimucha), n.d.). PPlanetree creates standards to make sure that healthcare centers deliver patient-centered care. This includes all aspects of care (Ingersoll, 2013). Planetree's concept is that care needs a plan based on the needs and expectations of the patient and family.

The novel can be explains as Janie's attempt to find voices, that can speak for her. The conflict of being silenced by another is most illustrated in a relationship between Janie and her husband Jody. Janie leaves Jody because he wont listen to her. As you can see as Jody's power gets bigger and bigger, he forbids her to talk , Janie's silence increases power. This silence function has the process of gaining self awareness for Janie.

The “meaning of life” also shows up a lot in both of these books. In The Alchemist the meaning of life is stated as finding your personal legend and following your dreams. “…whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It's your mission on earth." (pg. 22) Melchizedek states this saying, follow what the universe is telling you to do. That is what you were put on the earth to do. We see The Stranger’s view in the very last lines of the novel… “As if that blind rage had washed me clean, rid me of hope; for the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself—so like a brother, really—I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again. For everything to be consummated, for me to feel less alone, I had only to wish that there be a large crowd of spectators the day of my execution and that they greet me with cries of hate.” (pg. 122-123) Meursault finally accepts that death is inevitable and he can’t avoid it. He also comes to a conclusion that life in general lacks meaning and order no matter who you are. At a ripe age of 18 and still much to learn, I seem to think life isn’t based on finding your personal legend. Life is life, and I play it by year and go with the flow. I wasn’t put on this earth for

So it goes, for the past two hundred eight years a member of the Gotitright family has governed the Blue Planet, as if it was a piece of property the family personally owned. Thus, in 2328, the ancestral domain rest in the hands of Harold Gotitright. Since, he alone cannot control the planet’s populace or enforce the laws, which he writes daily, he must therefore rely on the traditional puppet government, The Committee of Twelve to handle the day-to-day minutia. In light of that the Planet consists of the thirteen sections, in which the Prime Class lives in Section One, and within the other sections the Nonmechanical and Mechanical classes’ cohabitate.

One of the fundamental tenants of this view is that these possible worlds must not engage with one another in any way. In order to be fully isolated, the occurrence of something in one world does not and cannot influence what goes on in any other world. Lewis goes on to say that an infinite number of such worlds exists. This is because there is an infinite number of possibilities for how one part of a world could possibly be. Lewis includes possible worlds that do not obey our rules of nature, ones in which no life exists. For each of these ways that a world or a part of a world could possibly be, there absolutely exists another world that is in fact that way (Plurality of Worlds 209, 222). Lewis refers to this as ‘plentitude.’ All of these different worlds, including our own, are the same kind of thing, making one no more real than any other. The view holds that this world does not differ from others in its manner of existing. Thus the “actual” world, for Lewis, is just wherever “here” is. For us, the actual world is our universe. However, someone in another world can say that the same statement referring to a different universe (their universe) and the statement would hold true in both cases.
