The Death Of The Lighthouse

Discuss how James Moloney uses the image of the Osprey throughout the novel? What does it represent?

The meaning behind my piece is simple yet significant. There was a tremendous impact from the disconsolate Sewol Ferry incident. Many families have suffered a great amount of pain throughout this period. In my illustration, I portrayed a single teardrop, signifying the sorrow of the people. The lanterns represent the copious lives lost, and they are floating up to the sky in peace. The yellow ribbon wrapped around the tear is a symbol of hope and solidarity. The dandelions symbolize the overcoming of the challenges that numerous people have faced.

Shankman discusses the view of the war, and the sinking of the Maine, from the perspective of the Methodist church. Throughout the church there was varying opinions of the explosion and the war itself. Some people believed that the war would be necessary, while others believed there was no need for a war. IN an editorial from a New York Methodist newspaper in April 1898: "Should we now go to war," insisted the Syracuse Northern Christian Advocate, "our cause will be just, and Methodism will be ready to do its full duty. Every Methodist preacher will be a recruiting officer” (Shankman, 1973). However, in the south, the Southern Christian Advocate pushed for people to help send aid to the Cubans that are refugees and on the island; some groups even set up soup kitchens and churches donated some money as charity. These opinions helped spread the divide after the attack on the Maine:

‘Castaway ‘, directed by Robert Zemeckis, is a 2001 film starring Tom Hanks. Hanks stars as Chuck Noland, a FedEx delivery man whose life is headed in the ‘right direction’, until his plane crashes and he is stranded on an island. He must adapt to his new life on the island; overcoming many obstacles in order to survive. ‘Castaway’ explores three different journeys; physical, inner and imaginative. Chuck Noland is a filmic representation of the philosophy of time equals money equals fulfilment. Zemeckis is deliberate in his obvious manipulation of the responder as he uses a multitude of filmic techniques to create a connection between the audience and Chuck.

Everyone needs to make sure they don’t overlook things and look at both the light and dark of situations. In “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell the main character who is an exceptional hunter, does indeed overlook things and only looks at the light of the situation he becomes in. Rainsford thinks about how the island will save him, however he does not think about potential dangers on the island. After losing his grip and falling in the ocean he locates and swims to an island called Ship Trap Island which he has bad rumors about. The island is very dark and eery and the main character Rainsford, hears terrible sounds coming from it.

In the 1800’s Jupiter’s most recognizable landmark, the Jupiter Lighthouse, was founded. The Lighthouse stands 105 feet tall atop a 46-ft. hill on the north shore of the Jupiter Inlet. The land that is now Lighthouse Park was once a part of Fort Jupiter, a military installation that was formed during the Seminole Indian

Does Teddy Daniels really suffer from a psychological disorder? It was pretty evident that in fact Andrew Laeddis or “Edward ‘Teddy’ Daniels” is a crazy person. Teddy is an intelligent and highly capable person, but through traumatic events through his experiences in World War II caused him to drink heavily to repress his memories. Throughout the book you can see that the conscious state of Teddy Daniels battling with the unconscious state of Andrew Laeddis for freedom.

His father later walked out on both of them and the women was stuck with Jim. She did not raise him well so was put in a foster home. This played around with Jim’s emotional health and he lost his true identity. Edward Laeddis is a US Marshal, who shot his wife after she drowned their children. He is traumatized by this event and is sent to Ashecliffe Hospital, a psychiatric facility to investigate one of the missing patients.

Teddy is actually a counter personality of Andrew Laeddis, the patient he sought out to avenge his wife’s murder. In previous years, Andrew was a World War II veteran, who helped free Jews at the Nazi concentration camps. He coped with his symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder by drinking alcohol and spending all of his time at work. He emotional detached himself from his bipolar

I am reading Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane, I am on page 369, and I finished the book. The remaining half of my book is about Teddy and Chuck on a journey to find Andrew Laeddis, the killer of Teddy’s wife, and they check Ward C on the island and the lighthouse and there is no sign of him. Teddy and Chuck get past some obstacles in their journey to the lighthouse, Chuck gets lost, and Teddy tries to escape the island on the ferry. In the end, Teddy encounters Mr. Cawley in the lighthouse; it is revealed that Teddy has been on the Island for two years and Teddy’s real name is Andrew Laeddis. It is also revealed that Chuck has been Dr. Sheehan the whole time and Teddy is actually Rachel Laeddis’s husband. In this journal, I will be characterizing Teddy in the second half of the book and questioning why Dr. Sheehan would pretend to be Teddy’s partner, Chuck, the entire time.

Shutter Island, directed by Martin Scorsese, contains an intense and intriguing plot line especially when viewed from a psychoanalytic perspective. Edward “Teddy” Daniels, a US Marshal and WWII veteran travels to an isolated island to investigate a case of a patient who has run away from Ashecliffe Hospital. Alongside Teddy is his partner Chuck; they both investigate the disappearance of Rachel Solando—a criminally insane patient who was admitted after drowning her three children. Before fleeing the mental institution,

When speaking of modernism in the work Virginia Woolf, scholars too readily use her innovations in style and technique as the starting point for critical analysis, focusing largely on the ways in which her prose represents a departure from the conventional novel in both style and content. To simply discuss the extent of her unique style, however, is to overlook the role of tradition in her creation of a new literary identity. In To the Lighthouse, Woolf's invention reveals itself instead as a reinvention, a recasting of the conventional through the use of the traditional. Within the text, this relationship manifests itself in Lily Briscoe's relationship with Mrs. Ramsay and the extent to which

Contradictory to my previous rubric, the second rubric that I created is one which focuses on internalization, or more specifically, philosophical introspection. Introspection is another modernist literary quality that emerged after the start of World War I. The first war had a large impact on society and that particular generation at the time, as losses were large during the war, and grew even larger with the outbreak of influenza. To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf and The Tunnel by Dorothy Richardson both are included in this rubric. To The Lighthouse is entirely philosophical introspection and inner turmoil. The novel is narrated in third person omniscient, therefore we are not limited to one unreliable character to recount the story. Each character in the novel had a specific personal issue that was thought over in the text. Plot-wise, nothing happened in the novel except for the passing of time, a few deaths, and the war. All of which were spoken of using less than two sentences. Contrary to the previous rubric, this modernist novel was more focused on the intrapersonal connections of the characters and their inner dialogue instead of events. In The Tunnel, the reader is faced with a strong female protagonist who arguably has just as much philosophical introspection as the characters in To The Lighthouse. Richardson utilizes Miriam’s position in society to make a critique of how the modern woman at this time was

On the other hand, Mrs. Ramsay acts the role of the perfect wife with her warmth, kindness and praise in contrast to Mr. Ramsay that is presented as oppressive. As Naremore suggests, “The narrator is interested not in a report of the scene's action, but in its rhythm, in the light healing pulse of Mrs. Ramsay's sympathy contrasted to Mr. Ramsay's harsh, repeated demands for more” (pg.132 of “To the Lighthouse” by Virginia Woolf, 1969).

As we read, Woolf’s novel, to the Lighthouse we see different aspects of art being used and how it is being used. Lily Briscoe plays a huge role in art in the story. She is working on a painting throughout the book but she does not want anyone to see it (Woolf 17-18). She feels that it is not good enough. However, Mrs. Ramsay, William Bankes and Charles Tansely seem to have different opinions about the painting. During Mrs. Ramsay’s dinner party, Lily realizes what she needs to do to fix her painting but does not until the end of the story. The painting itself grows and changes throughout the book, just as Lily grows and changes as a person as she lives her life (Woolf 102).
