The Song ' I Don 't Want Be Here Anymore ``

The narrator also speaks of how humans have become slaves to the immediate. This slavery controls life so much that it blinds people from seeing “the questions that have no answers” (23). The speaker warns the reader that because of obsession to gratification in that instant that, “[p]lant[ing] sequoias” (24) would be going against the grain because

He is telling us that because of learning all of this knowledge has caused him to know all of the horrible and unimaginable things people have done to his race and nothing he can do will make him forgot all the things he has learned. He then said, “ The silver trump of freedom had roused my soul to eternal wakefulness.” He is using imagery and personification to show how his knowledge had stirred him to always want to escape. It was always on his mind constantly, yet he knew he would never be able to escape. Finally, the last use of figurative language he uses in the excerpt was “ It looked from every star, it smiled in every calm, breathed in every wind, and moved in every year.” This is a use of personification because he is referring to the thought of freedom and you can see how much he is longing for freedom and as readers it gives you

If the country seeks to be at the top right now that they will learn nothing and not remain there for long. He is saying a strong and successful nation or race learns how to build a good foundation understanding that it is up our next generations to understand what their responsibilities are to whatever they obtain.

This metaphor is fantastic because looking back at revolutions you began to get the since that in fact these are the diseases of society. If you think about the four revolutions that Brinton dissects in the book all four started as a fever pitch. “As new desires arise, or as old desires grow stronger in various groups, or as environmental conditions change, and as institutions fail to change,a relative disequilibrium may arise in what we call a revolutionary break out”. The disease starts out as a moderate phase and the second phase includes radicals coming to power. These radicals stir up new feelings towards the establishment and the status quo. After this phase comes what Brinton calls the crisis/reign of terror. Once the crisis ends comes what Brinton calls the Thermidorian Reaction. This phase is the relaxation period after the crisis of revolution. According to Brinton the Thermidorian Reaction is characterized by a few traits including the establishment of a Tyrant, ‘‘an unconstitutional ruler brought to power by revolution". This is the case for three out of the four revolutions excluding the American Revolution. In England, Cromwell came to power, in France it was Napoleon and in Russia Lenin came to power. Other characteristics of thermidor reaction are the restoration of many pre-revolutionary ways,the reaction against puritanism of the revolution and finally the replacement of missionary spirit with what Brinton calls aggressive

8. I think this quote is some foreshadowing for an event in the future. It sounds completely mysterious to me, and leads me to believe that something will fall apart in the future.

This line in the book describes the final characteristic of mans’ attitude - fear. The Time Machine is saying that mankind, even when

"Never make an attempt to gain our freedom or natural right, from under our cruel oppressor, and murderers, until you see your way clear [6]--when that hour arrives and you move, be not afraid or

This song is concentrated on the social construction of reality, which talks about about how “Ideas about reality also change over time” (Newman, 53). We can see this expressed in lines 32-33 in the song : “It just ain't the same, old ways have changed/New days are strange, is the world insane…” (lines 32-33) The band states how the world’s views and attitudes have changed and how there is uncertainly for the future. The band is questioning the values that they once lived up to. “Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity/Whatever happened to the fairness in equality/ Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity/ Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity…” (lines 71-74). They imply that individuals are swaying away from their values, as a result changing their reality.

“These are revolutionary times. All over the globe men are revolting against old systems of exploitation and oppression, and out of a frail world new systems of justice and equality are being born. The shirtless and barefoot people of the earth are rising up

This text teaches that the idea of unlimited freedom is simply an illusion. I understand this passage as explaining that maximum freedom is experienced when one is in the middle between imprisonment and anarchy. By doing so you are then finding freedom through moderation.

He warns of what could happen if we stop expressing ourselves and our ideas, and we let people confiscate away our books, and thoughts. He notices what has been going on at home and

Musicians often use their music as a way of expressing their emotions and thoughts to others in an entertaining way that is appealing to others. One band that does this is Falling in Reverse, which is led by the lead singer Ronnie Radke. Radke had a difficult childhood being raised by his single father after his mother left. This incident has severely affected him, which is revealed in many songs why he became a drug addict and he is still getting over it today. That occurrence altered the way he looked at society eventually giving him a pessimistic world view. Radke uses his music to talk about how he views society around him, and how he feels like humans have become overly violent and shut off from one another. That theme and overall message of societal hardships and mistakes humans keep making is clearly talked about in his song, “Wait and See.” The song whole-heartedly embraces Radke’s world views as he tries to show his listeners the mess the world has become, and how they have gotten themselves into their predicament. Radke conveys his thoughts through the use of numerous literary devices to create a meaningful and enjoyable song to try and spread his concerns to all.

This closing-line can be interpreted in many ways and this is one of the reasons why it is so memorable. The most popular interpretation for this line is that we will push forward in life and make progress but can be taken backwards due to moments in our past. This explanation is generally the first way to think of the line but many could provide different interpretations that one might not

What he seems to be saying in this extraordinary novel is not only that the 1911 revolution has come to a dead end, but also (and more important) that, given man’s nature, Marxist solutions are facing the same blank wall. He proposes an existentialist way out, but his sense of courage is greater than his suggested submission to man’s apparent destiny. (Adams)

As mentioned earlier the chorus defines to just walk away although “No One wants To Be
