When discussing reality, several questions emerge regarding what reality is. A reality, "the real situation that exist," (Merriam-Webster.com) consists of two forms-perceived reality and actual reality. One spends his or her entire life trying to decipher the difference between the two forms; yet to truly understand reality, it is essential that you comprehend both. Plato 's "Allegory of the Cave," Dick Gregory 's "Shame" and Frederick Douglass ' "Learning to Read and Write" illustrate examples of both perceptions. Furthermore, how conceptualization of reality helps establish who one will become.

People seem to think that everything that happens to them everyday is real. The question is, though, “What is real?”. Is everything you see everyday really real or is it fake? We might see fantasies that other people or machines have created for us. Maybe we are the ones that are not enlightened yet. Numerous essays and films have been produced on this subject. One essay is “The Allegory of the Cave” written by Plato in 360 B.C. Also, the movie The Matrix was filmed in 1999. Even though many differences can be drawn between “The Allegory of the Cave” and The Matrix, there are many similarities as well.

Euthanasia, often called "mercy killing", is the act of putting to death someone suffering from a painful and prolonged illness or injury. Euthanasia means that someone other than the patient commits an action with the intent to

“God is dead!” This statement leads to the immediate sentencing of his death. These quotes

John says the words ¨I say- I say- God is dead!¨ Even though, that is not what he meant, that’s how it came out. I think what John really meant was that God is dead in Salem, not really dead. I think by saying that, it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t believe in God anymore, it just means that he doesn’t believe that God's word is present in Salem anymore. John also says, ¨You are pulling down heaven and and raising up a whore!¨ By those words, I think he means that no one is doing what God would want anymore.

“God is dead” this is a quote that was said by John Proctor, a character in “The Crucible” when he was in court testifying that he was not the devil. John Proctor is a middle aged man who is an outcast and doesn't go to church. He had an affair with his wife Elizabeth and Abigail wants him all to herself and she'll do anything to get rid of Elizabeth. John has a bad reputation for not going to church, plowing on Sundays, and not having all of his kids baptised. John and I have a few character traits in common such as we are both outcast, independent, and loyal.

What we think is reality will ultimately become our reality if we believe certain things about an individual; he/she begins acting in exactly that way.

In the passage the text states," I was scared and I had a family, but seeing that man lie on the ground just like that made me realize that

It is said that before he died he cried out, "It is finished." The last words that the chorus speaks echo the same thought. It is finished. That is not the only surprising thing. The Bible tells of God's struggle to find a way to salvage the relationship with his children. The last line of the Bacchae reverberates the concept of the Godly struggle to find the right action.

8. In this passage, In the last line of the quote death says he'll tell you what you truly look like. He says to look in the mirror while we wait. This means that death is us, My interpretation of this quote says that death is saying that we are death destruction, we cause it all or like that we are a dead man walking.

I believe Nietzsche means by “the death of God” is to catch people’s attention to read the whole parable. For example, the author writes, “I shall tell you. We have killed him - you and I. We are his murderers.” to provide a path of interpretation for readers. Accordingly, to the madman’s quote, I suppose God was killed by the people who stopped believing in the idea of a God existing. Moreover, the madman says, “The tremendous event is still on its way, still travelling - it has not yet reached the ears of men.” since he has come too soon to ask people about God’s location. The event’s metaphor about the light from the stars is for readers to understand that God’s arrival will take time. Similarly, the madman explains that everyone born after

The last two lines act as a slap in the face. Every element works toward death, and the speaker almost slips into eternal rest. One can see him, putting the

Euthanasia is often called “mercy killing”. It is intentionally making someone die, rather than allowing that person to die naturally. It is sometimes the act of ending someone’s life, who is terminally ill, or is suffering in severe pain. Euthanasia is mostly illegal in the world today. Euthanasia can be considered a form of suicide, if the person afflicted with the problem actively does it. The person volunteering to commit the act to that person can also consider it a form of murder.

We are not god. We do not have the right choose who to kill, we cannot kill anyone we think would be better off
