The Golden Notebook By Doris Lessing

As a writer, Doris Lessing does not stand to fixed position. She just expresses her feelings, thoughts, experiences etc. Actually, she womanly portrays the women and men from her own voices. The Golden Notebook comprises the part of Free Women and notebooks are Black, Yellow, Red, Blue and the last of them is Golden Notebook. The writer of four notebooks is Anna. In the part of Free Women, actually, it is another novel, there is an omniscient narrator and it is an external voice which fictionalizes the life of Anna. Anna wants to classify her writings in four notebooks, she tries but she is incapable of doing it and Golden Notebook is actually the combination of other notebooks and Saul and Anna are the writers of it. In fact, the Golden Notebook is a peace with her personality a clue of Anna’s or

Everyone is burden with pain. No one can escape emotional, physical or mental misery because it is part of what makes us human. Without pain we would live in a world of sameness. Although there is no way we can escape this reality, what if there existed a utopian society in which everyone could live peacefully without the burden of pain? Would everyone be better off or would living in ignorance be a burden for someone else? Lois Lowry gives us a glimpse into what life would be like in a world where conflict does not exist and shows us what this type of world would do to our humanity. In The Giver, she introduces us to Jonas, an eleven-year-old boy who starts off as an oblivious member of his

Reading a variety of novels throughout my educational career has been an essential portion of my life furthermore; I believe the Irvine Unified School District should teach the novel “The Outsiders” by Susan Eloise Hinton. This novel has many themes and morals that fit perfectly with it, but the main one is to show how our society segregates people based on their looks and appearance. I believe this novel is suitable for young adults between the ages of twelve and sixteen because this novel gives them an insight to the contemporary segregation issues that they face in life. During this age group many kids get judged based on their looks and style. I would teach the themes and ideas to the kids in a way that they would be able to understand

Ursula K. Le Guin is an award winning author who has made great contributions to the science fiction genera. Le Guin’s stories often evoke readers to view society through a different lens. In the short story The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas Le Guin challenges societies conventions of imagination and believability within a narrative. I will argue, that the story The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas by Ursula K. Le Guin, intertwines two contradictory story worlds in an attempt to critique the limitations we impose on our imagination due to the understanding that we have never experienced a society that does not poses evil. I intend to analyze the rules of the two following story worlds that Le Guin presents; the first story world where happiness is the only thing that the inhabitants experience and the second story world where happiness is experienced when evil presents itself in the society. The two story worlds come together to push the readers to accept a world that simply functions on its own without evil.

Through our society we are all raised up to be independent and unique individuals such as being ourselves and expressing who each of us are to the world. However, in the book The Giver by Lois Lowry, everyone is raised to count on one another and everyone must look and act the same. Our society differs from Jonas’s in many ways, such as the family units, birthdays, and the way we each learn about our past.

For this assignment, I chose to watch The Princess Bride, a film based on the book written by William Goldman. The story is of a beautiful maiden named Buttercup. When she hears word of her true love, Westley’s, ship being taken over by the Dread Pirate Roberts in which there were no survivors. Upon Westley’s death, Buttercup reluctantly agrees to marry Prince Humperdinck, who seems to have a plan of his own. When Westley returns as the Dread Pirate Roberts, he finds Buttercup in grave danger in the hands of Vizzini, the man we later learn was hired by Humperdinck to kill his bride and frame Florin’s sworn enemy, Guilder. After using his sword fighting skills and strength to outwit Inigo, the Spanish swordsman, and Fizzik, the giant, he then uses his wit to kill Vizzini, Buttercup’s capturer. Once Buttercup is able to identify Pirate Roberts as Westley, they continue on their journey, only to be thwarted by Prince Humperdinck, Count Rugen, and their men. Buttercup is then tricked to believe that they let Westley go free, even though they have him tortured and eventually killed. In need of his skills and strength, Fizzik and Inigo miraculously save Westley in order to seek revenge on Inigo’s father’s killer, Count Rugen. The three of them then break into the castle, Inigo gets his revenge, and save Buttercup, riding off on four white horses.

On November 26, 2017, at approximately 3:00 p.m. I attended a performance titled Much Ado About Nothing, directed by Ann Ciccolella that took place at Rollins Theatre in Austin, Texas. The specific play, Much Ado About Nothing, is a romantic comedy written by Shakespeare, which details the accounts of two specific relationships, one being Hero and Claudio and the other being Beatrice and Benedick, that go through various turmoil, but nonetheless conclude with a relatively positive outcome.

In the book Cat 's Eye by Margaret Attwood, Elaine 's identity and her perceived sense of self is unique. The positive and negative experiences in her life have helped shape it. My own life experiences have also shaped me into the person I am today. Our childhoods and our nurturing during this crucial time has a powerful impact on what kind of individuals we turn out to be.

I decided to review “Silver Linings Playbook”, which is based on a romantic-comedy novel written by Matthew Quick. It was produced in 2012 by The Weinstein, starring Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence and Robert De Niro.

Would you like to live in a society where anger, greed, hate and pain are eliminated? A society where differences are nonexistent and the feelings of envy and jealousy are extinct? It sounds wonderful, but what does this society cost its citizens? Lois Lowry wrote The Giver, and when it adapted into the film, it is directed by Phillip Noyce. The film takes place in a society that has eliminated the differences within people. They have little emotion, cannot see colors, and have no memory of all the past events like war, pain, animals, and emotions. They are all assigned jobs at a young age and Jonas is assigned as the receiver of memory. He keeps all the memories of the past to provide wisdom for the future. Once the current receiver of memory (the giver) gives him all of these memories and emotions he realizes that keeping all of these things from the community is wrong. He sees his father releasing (killing) babies and his father did not realize he was killing them. Jonas’ family was caring for a child that was not mature enough to be in the nurturing center and is eventually scheduled to be released. Jonas took the baby out of the community, crossed the boundary and restores all the emotions and memories to the entire population. Is a perfect, predictable, systematic society worth sacrificing personal choice and emotional individuality? No, emotions and personal choices give our lives purpose, drives us to become more; these things make us human.

In Philip Pullman’s novel, The Golden Compass, a young girl, named Lyra Belacqua lives in a parallel world in which human souls take the form of lifelong animal companions called daemons. In Lyra’s world the antagonists, a group of people known as Gobblers, have been kidnapping kids from the streets. Lyra vows to save her best friend, Roger, after she discovers that he disappears along with one of the Gyptians’ boys. She sets out with her daemon, a tribe of Gyptians, a witch, an ice bear and a Texas airman on an epic quest to rescue Roger and save her world. These two goals would eventually lead Lyra to fulfill her so-called “destiny”. Lyra lives in a world where a lot of people believe in the ideology of predestination, but destiny is an illusion of free will and foreknowledge. Her choices can influence future outcomes and ultimately change her “destiny” as long as she has some foreknowledge of her prophecy, if she doesn’t have that then she cannot make the necessary actions to avoid it.

Nicholas Sparks’ main theme that he portrayed in “The Notebook” was that of the unconditional love of Noah and Allie. Nursing is a very important factor involved in this movie and nursing is defined as, “the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, facilitation of healing, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations” (ANA). The theme of love impacts the concept of nursing and allows the viewers to see what values and beliefs are truly important throughout the movie.

The Marxist criticism is based on the socialist theories of Karl Marx and how the readers must closely examine the dynamics of class as they attempt to understand the works they read. In a world where there is no pain, no prejudice, no emotion, and no detestation. Lois Lowry gives a vivid description of a community where everything is equal, everyone is just as important as another, and life choices are made by only one individual. In the book The giver by Lois Lowry, it expresses the exact opposite of Marx’s most important ideas which is a prime example of what people will do if they were forced to live a certain way.

The Inheritors, written by William Golding, is a classic dystopian novel that illustrates the rise of maliciousness due to human evolution. This story consists of the following main characters: Mal, who is the wisest and chief of the Neanderthal tribe; the old woman; Lok, who is a primitive Neanderthal adult male; Fa, who is Lok’s spouse; Ha, who is a relatively intelligent Neanderthal adult male; Nil, who is Ha’s consort; Liku, who is the young daughter of Lok and Fa; an infant, who is Nil’s offspring; Tanakil, who is a young girl of the Homo Sapiens tribe and Marlan, who is the leader of the evolved species. The novel commences in an ambient yet foreshadowing setting as the innocent Neanderthal tribe attempt to cross a river when they encounter that the log they had always used to cross the water body with after every winter has suddenly disappeared. Mal, who mentions that he has a “picture” (memory or idea), decides to use a fallen tree as a log and each individual successfully crosses the river with the log’s aid, except for Mal. The old man unexpectedly falls in the river; however, with Ha’s aid, he is rescued and becomes ill due to the coldness of the water. Unfortunately, although the members of the tribe attempt to cure Mal’s illness, the latter passes away.
