One night, a very dark night, trouble was lurking in the shadows. You could just smell it in the air everywhere you go. It was like choking on a dark cloud filled with danger. Legend has it that it targets one person until they die. It fills them with dreadful thoughts, making them do bad deeds, and leading them to suicide. Today it chose to pick me...

I look to the right of my bed and it’s there; crouching beside me. Its face is pure white and doesn’t resemble skin at all, but a shining porcelain. The monster doesn’t have a mouth - there is just skin running down from the bottom of its nose to its chin. Shielding it’s beady eyes are a pair of raven-black goggles strapped to its bald head. It wears what resembles a completely circular helmet the colour of a neon orange and its hands are covered in tactical gloves, dark as a jet-black night. It wears an amber jumpsuit and stare into my soul. Its wretched face is about five centimetres away from mine and I can feel an ice cold breath creep onto my forehead.The creatures body is hunched over and strange

One of the many coinciding concepts between the three is the daunted apprehension of both the poem, the movie and the book. In Things Fall Apart it seems like whenever the main character, Okonkwo, gains hope things happen to fall apart . In Dead Poet's Society the main character finally find someone who believes in them, yet tantamount event occur, things fall apart. In The Second Coming told of a chaotic world and a base that could not hold because of it’s own inner conflicts. In Addition to the synonymous feeling both the book, movie and the poem give, they both expose a great shift from and old era to a new era. The Second Coming

Looking backward to the last essay, which I envision our world end up in a dystopian future. After our readings and discussions, I have reinforced my stance on dystopias. Even though global climate changes were a threat to us for a long time, and it has the ability to turn our world in a truly dystopian future. But rather than finding a solution for this threat, our human nature hypnotized ourselves that everything will go to work out by itself. And also thanks to the greedy side of human nature, we are more concerned in how to profit it. In the final stage, where people began to fight for resources, don 't expect the police to establish order for us since they have already turned against us. After all, the main reason for me to reinforced

Even though the main characters acted very differently in similar situations, both authors used angering and saddening moods and the dystopian

1984 offers a daunting glance at a supposed future in which nothing and nobody is free. The authoritarian regime portrayed in Orwell’s Oceania is ruthless, controlling every aspect of life, from the family to the brain itself. In 1984, George Orwell uses a dystopian society void of all freedom to illustrate the debilitating effects of ultimate control over thoughts, emotions, and opinions. By robbing the citizens of their privacy, each person under the boot of Oceania loses their ability to think freely, leading to a crippling loss of their humanity. The constant watch of the telescreen not only keeps the citizens in line, but also prevents the people from thinking or acting rebelliously.

At some point in her life, Grandin had experienced all of these, but after her medication affected her ability to feel religious feelings, her “belief in the afterlife was shattered” (Grandin, 1995 pg. 231). The alternative that Grandin ends up choosing is a more personal spirituality that she finds through her work, through building her Stairway to Heaven project and studying ritualistic slaughter (Grandin, 1995 pg. 231, 239). The advantage of deciding on this alternative is that it allows Grandin to develop her own spiritual resources in a way that’s compatible with her own life and with her logically-oriented mind (Moore & Asay, 2013 pg.

Before George Lucas created Star Wars and became a household name, he was once a film student. After he graduated from film school, he wrote and directed the film THX 1138 in 1971, Lucas’s first real film work. THX 1138 takes place in the dystopian future where the government closely controls every aspect of life, both at home and at work, through the use of city wide mandatory medication and through an overbearing police force. Everyone in the film performs a specific task in the society with no deviation from the status quo. While the story may seem abstract or unreal, THX 1138 predicted the future of the United States and how society has grown towards this dystopian vision. THX 1138, even though filmed in 1971, possesses parallels with modern day themes and lifestyles through its depiction of the police, the government, and culture, while unintentionally revealing how American society has not changed for the better.

Huxley’s Brave New World masterpiece depicts a dystopian civilization, product of the emancipation of the values from the industrial revolution, which has deliberately chosen to pursue collective happiness and forget individual liberties. This example of society is pertinent to be analyzed from a Freudian perspective, specifically from the discoveries made in Civilization and Its Discontents since they relate the internal issues that an individual experience in a community. In this essay, I argue that Huxley’s dystopian society liberates effectively its members from the three sources of human suffering derived by Freud, and imposes a combination of three paths, categorized in Civilization and Its Discontents, to fulfill the reality principle

A majority of us squander our time fantasizing about a faultless society, a place where sorrow has not meaning but is replaced with harmony, compassion, and riches. Essentially, we want a place where dreams come true. On the contrary, how often do we reflect on the worst? A place where sorrow is the only meaning and harmony, compassion and riches have no existence. Susceptibility, combat and abhorrence- the contemplation of our future. Glimpses of these are shown through demoralizing literature, where the dire stuff is an extrapolation of our world.

Dystopian novels have been written throughout history to show possible futures in which humans suffer from oppressive governments. All of these novels show what will happen if humanity continues to make certain choices. Dystopian novels affect the choices of everyone who reads them because they don’t want their children and grandchildren to live under oppression. These sources, by Henley, Mandela, and Wiesel, use imagery to create dystopian like futures and real life examples of what a dystopian future would look like to warn us of these futures and show how dystopian novels are important.

The effect that dystopian societies have on Bildungsroman is not necessarily large, but it still alters the traditional view of it. First off the dystopian society has a few trademarked aspects. These include: the use of propaganda to control people, restrictions on freedom, a certain concept is worshipped by society, constant surveillance, fear of outside world, dehumanized state, real world is banished and distrusted, individuality is bad, and the society is supposed to be a utopia. (readwritethink.org) One of the major differences in Dystopian Bildungsroman is that traditionally the protagonist will have people who are mentors and help them to find their correct place in society, but in dystopia there are not many good mentors leading

revelation. A person is marked by resignation, suffering, guilt, and humor in ethics in Religiousness A. It confines humanity to despair and offers no contact with the transcendent. Religiousness A represents pagan religion, or early religion, with an immanent or earthly conception of God. God is Zeus up on Olympus,
