Review Of ' The Art Of Reinvention '

Throughout a typical story or novel, a character often changes themselves after an adventure or conflict. They may change themselves through a variety of ways, like changing their own beliefs, or changing their financial or social status. This can be applied in two popular classics, “Bread Givers” and “The Adventures of Huckleberry”. Throughout the story, the protagonists managed to reform themselves after a course of events, even though they did keep some aspects of themselves. For Sara, enforcing her own beliefs over her father’s orthodox tradition allowed her to educate herself and be financially independent. Meanwhile, Huck managed to reinvent himself by developing a conscience. In both books, the main characters managed to reinvent

Transformation in the world happens when people are healed and start investing in other people- Michael W. Smith. Change plays a key role in one’s life. Change is what makes one’s life different from usual; change is needed in everyone’s life in order to maintain the fluency of life. The character Gregor Samsa’s in the book “Metamorphosis” by Franz Kafka symbolizes change, in which he gets transformed into a large insect. Change literally means to make or do something in a different manner to get a new result.

Shaping your identity might sound had but it’s not, you shaped your identity every day!

One may say transformation is inescapable, that everyone is bound to change. Change will happen when one is exposed to a different environments and after a series of events. Jews in the Holocaust were prime examples of change occurring. They were put through harsh environments and received beatings daily forcing them to change and adapt to their new environment. Elie Wiesel, the author of Night, was a Jew taken from his home and thrown into a concentration camp never to see his own mother or sisters again. Change has left Eliezer distant from his childhood-self. Eliezer has become distant from God, cold-hearted, and fearful from his optimistic and reassuring childhood.

People can change from being forced, or just wanting to transform for the better. In Charles Dickens’ classic story A Christmas Carol, Ebenezer Scrooge learns to change for the better. He is accompanied by three ghosts, Past, Present and Future, that make him realize he needs to alter his actions. People can adapt mentally and physically. Their fate lies in the hands of other people willing to accept them for who they are or not. Willing to accept people that are brave enough to change is a good trait to have. Wanting a drastic transformation in your life will require assistance of showing sedulous care, perseverance, and commitment.

With evidence and constant supporting examples it is evident that you can be the change you want to be. It is not a choice to innovate inspire or ignite, but instead a lifestyle this everlasting battle has a more specific name it is called prestige. Your legacy will live long after records have fallen, after awards are tarnished, the character you display will never die, write your version of your life story you want to leave

I want to be like many different people for many different reasons. I don’t have a perfect person that inspires me all-around. Possibility also inspires me. I find it fascinating, but it’s my reality that gets me to move. Dreaming of the possibilities of my reality help get me moving. There, I got it out! Maybe I just grew up late, maybe I got tired of excuses for being stuck in circumstances.”

The Transforming Vision, written by Brian Walsh and Richard Middleton, yearn for a change in the way Christianity is viewed. According to the authors, science, technology and economic growth is what shapes our society, while Christianity stands in the sidelines. The authors aspire to see a change in Christianity where it “may receive social and cultural embodiment.” In the first chapters, Walsh and Middleton explore the reason behind why Christianity of North Americans is so disembodied compared to others. In addition, Transforming Vision explores the different types of worldviews compared to a Christian worldview, or biblical view. Furthermore, it discusses how the different type of world views affects us and if there is any worldview better than another.

Life is an ever-changing reaction to the different situations that we are exposed to. Sometimes these opportunities for change are forced upon you, such as requirements at work, at home, or at school. Other times these changes are brought on by your reflection of things that have happened in the past.

The idea of self-invention is recreating yourself with an alter identity or ego. I agree that people who try to reinvent themselves are doing it for either a positive or a negative reason. The way you related the idea of self-invention to two characters in The Great Gatsby depicted the to ways for reinvention. Myrtle Wilson changed her appearance to feel worthiness around other, yet she stilled remained recognizable. However, Myrtle did attempt to act differently as well as changing her appearance. Daisy Buchanan who sets standards of what is expect able in her 'high' society. Also, I agree that there is a distinct line between reinventing yourself in a healthy way versus doing it for the wrong reason, such as to please

As we grow older, it is socially expected that we fulfil a certain role in society and those expectations encourage or force changes in who we are. As long as we live, our identity will continue to develop and shift according to the situations

Life is a chain of changes that puts people in different situations and every change come with its struggles and we have to move along with the change.People might take the changes in different ways and everyone has their own story that makes them unique from other people and changes make people live through same story again and again or never.Going through changes and adapting to them is the real challenge that you have to go through and how you handle it gives you the identity but it is not an easy path to take for everyone some give up;some don’t even start to get on the path to achieve what they want in their life.

In the novel Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, a rather prevalent issue is over people and their originality in thought. The book takes place in a dystopian future, where the entire world is ran by one government, The World State. This World State is in control of everything you do, your religion, where you are in society, and so on. The World State also makes people in labratories, thus they are able to control how you develop, and what caste you are put into, which in turns effects your outlook on society and the ability to which you are able to think. The people of the World State are made to be followers, and are expected to be followers; as the motto of the World State on the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre says, “Community, Identity, Stability” (Huxley 1).

Recreating yourself to become someone else or a new you can be a difficult thing, but one that is possible. Jay Gatsby from The Great Gatsby was once a poor man who became wealthy by bootlegging. He didn’t have any money to his name until a man named Dan Cody helped Gatsby act and get rich. Gatsby, overtime turns from this poor man who had nothing into a wealthy, mysterious man who coordinated extravagant parties on his lawn. He had left his past behind and become a new man. Today, people can still reinvent themselves just like Jay did to become better or newer versions of themselves.

When I was adolescent, I was strongly influenced by my cognitive development, experiences and people around me. First, I experienced typical psychological reactions which adolescences are likely to have: I had a lot of experiments; I had imaginably audience; and I experienced identity crisis. I was a person who had a lot of experiments. Because I was a late bloomer, I was not as feminine as other girls. However, I thought that I should behave more feminine to be an adult. Therefore, I suddenly changed my behaviors. For examples, I changed the way to talk and wear: I used the woman like way to talk and wore very feminine clothes. These experiments often surprised and confused people around me. Naturally, these changes did not last
