The Juxtaposition Of Private Witt And First Sgt. Welsch

In the Front, it’s based on survival and skill, so there’s no God. Since everyone dies at the Front, that questions the existence of God. Mistrust in religious beliefs has come to a realization in the Front. Thus, the Front symbolizes modernism, loss of individuality, and loss of emotion.

The main theme in this book is that of individual experience, which is written as if the reader was looking through the eyes of the narrator, not knowing the context, but understanding how life is for those who have been through the experience.

Gruwell taught her class about the Holocaust, the genocide of Jews. While learning about this major event in class the students were able to see how another person’s hatred affected someone’s life. They saw that many of the victims did not survive and were killed simply because of their race. This drew a parallel for the students to see how their hatred and violence against each other was senseless. In the same way Hitler killed Jews because of their race, they were killing each other. From learning about the Holocaust the students were able to step outside from their own personal norms, and examine a situation from a new or different

In Kandinsky’s discussion of the discovery, he uses an analogy that spiritual life is similar to a triangle divided into many parts. At the top of the triangle, the piece is very thin, and he says only one person is

“He looked around him as if seeing the world for the first time. The world was beautiful, strange, and mysterious.” (page 39)

This example also illustrates Moore’s use of bildungsroman. The book is built on the stories from each man’s formative years, so the choices they made were indicative of how they would mature. Since Moore, the author, decided to make the right decision in this situation, it shows that he would make more of the right choices where it would be easier for the other Wes Moore to make more of the wrong ones. Each choice that was made was reflective of how each man could go in life, if they kept making the type of choice that they did before. The stories Moore presents throughout his book helps him build his argument while his use of juxtaposition and bildungsroman provide readers with a clearer perspective of what he is trying to prove.

This scene is significant to illustrate how both characters are formed by their social constructs while wanting different intentions.

This metaphor used by Lee demonstrates to the reader that one must have lived and truly understood what someone has gone through to truly being able to see the truth. Just like a metaphor is a comparison of two different things, two people could be that far apart in experience, which makes for a difficult time for the inexperienced one to understand.

“He Opens Wide a Third Eye…” by Bei Dao in his written work Old Snow, is a narrative of one mans life and his epiphany on society as life and death would influence it. Bei Dao shows a man looking through a “third eye” or “inner eye” view, a very mystical and spiritual way to look at life that only the most enlightened peoples have been able to observe.

“Glory” and “Scandal”, or in other words, Mary and John, two characters from the novel “The Secret Lives of Sgt. John Wilson” who fall in love but eventually end their relationship on a tragic note. Many events occurred through-out the novel that caught my interest such as; the way they fell madly in love, the transition into John becoming more of a ghost than a husband, then a more twisted unforeseen plot that caught most readers entirely by surprise. The love affairs between the characters in the novel, plus the twists and turns you experience while reading is the main contributor as to why I love this book. Two polar opposites who started a life together, followed by scandal and deceit, then ended in a most unspeakable way.

Dillard’s powerful imagery throughout the essay is crucial for understanding the differences in seeing. For example, she is able to describe something as broad as nature by using a simile such as “nature is like one of those line drawings of a tree that are puzzles for children” (19). Since Dillard writes with such a loose structure, the imagery she creates helps clarify

“The image suggests a ruin in a classical landscape painting, a symbol of a broken-down system of belief” (Bloom 61). The “hollow men” do not have the faith to be judged and move on to “death’s other Kingdom.”

"He saw nothing but colours - colours that refused to form themselves into things. Moreover, he new nothing yet well enough to see it: you can not see things till you know roughly what they are. His first impression was a bright, pale world - a water-coloured world out of a child's paint box."

The first concept is language (a system comprised of vocabulary and rules of grammar that allows us to engage in verbal communication, Ch. 4, pg 72). The whole movie it was in English, so everyone understood each other. When watching, everyone understood what each other were saying but sometimes they don’t because they are using words that the other side wouldn’t understand. There was this scene where Pat and Tiffany were talking about what medication they use to have during dinner. The wife and husband who invited them didn’t really look at their perspective in a deeper level. People who surrounded Pat and Tiffany sometimes wouldn’t “acknowledge their viewpoint” and this is called perspective taking (Ch. 4,

Robert Frost uses imagery to describe two different journeys in life that could have been taken. “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth.” As Frost writes in this
