Essay on The Stand

In her article “I Stand Here Writing”, Nancy Sommers examines the writing process and formulating ideas for writing in a more empirical manner. She states that before she found her creative zeal/ niche her writing was often undisciplined, unmethodical, and sloppy. Sommers reveals that in college she was less known for her writing and more for her long hair and misapplication of phrases. She found her true inspiration while writing her Senior Thesis on Emerson’s “Eloquence.” Throughout the entire essay, Sommers provides the reader with advice about writing. A key point that she mentions is, “If I could teach my students about writing it would be to see themselves as sources, as places from which ideas originate, to see themselves as Emerson’s transparent eyeball, all that they have read and experienced-the-dictionaries of their lives circulating through them.”

But the character that changed the most is Byron. In the beginning of the book Byron was a very mean boy. Byron gradually changed throughout the book. Byron changed the most because he became more responsible and nicer. Kenny, on the other hand,stayed the same throughout the whole book.

It seemed as if Harold never got past Erikson’s stage of autonomy. The sense of autonomy fostered in Harold at a young age was denied to him by his mother as she controlled him. In contrast, Maude played a better role model to him than his mother. She acted wild and crazy and continually demonstrated freedom. A freedom that his mother never gave Harold the opportunity to indulge in. She philosophizes continuously about living life to utmost extremes, about rebellion, individualism and spontaneity. Maude tells Harold that the world dearly loves a cage and that humans should be as free as a bird. Maude gave the troubled young man a sense of hope and life throughout as he was a team player not willing to come off the bench to play. She introduced him to Glaucus who served as a message to Harold, one that he learns towards the end of the movie. Glaucus days are a metaphor for the life-span of a man. He is given a chance to create beauty out of nothing, but is time is limited with which to do so as he works with a medium that is hard to maintain. It was the carving of the ice that was important, not the ice itself. Harold’s success in life was not being pursued, it was to be attracted to the person he became through her help. Nevertheless, she constantly instills in Harold that we are given the gift of life and it is ours to enjoy and it is through her philosophies that Harold becomes a better man in the end and making

The idea that Harold knows he is going to die yet he has no control over it leads to a major life change. Harold starts becoming more spontaneous with his decisions do things. He no longer cares about routine but instead he starts to live a little and comes out of his comfort zone. He learns how to play the guitar and falls in love with Ana Pascal the woman he’s auditing. By experiencing life, the way it’s supposed to be lived we start to see what Harold crick’s character is truly like. His true character is shown when he meets the author that’s narrating his life and knows she is going to kill him. Harold accepts knowing he is going to die, and instead of trying to run from his death he accepts it. Harold knows he has to save the little boy from getting hit by the bus which would have killed him. His action gives us the greatest sense of Harold and his types

I think that this work is a very well put together book. Even though In the earlier questions I make it sound like a ten on ten this book is not. I rate this book a 9/10 for the soul reason that it was on a very directed path and you could the events that were going to happen before they did by just reading the book. Even the twist that the author put in were not that book which made some of the book predictable and who really wants a book in which they know everything that is going to happen.

I picked these characters because they are both dynamic and they changed from bad to good which is awesome. In all reality Douglas Healey Saved them from the end that's why he should get most of the credit and also the group themself saved them. In conclusion people can change that was kinda the theme of the book and it's not that society can change you it's that you can change yourself don't let people judge like say you steal cars or your size or just plain bad it matters who you are inside and what you can do for

An apocalypse brings destruction and ruin to all humanity, but no catastrophe ends civilization as fast as the disaster in Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel. A worldwide pandemic, the Georgia Flu, wipes out 99% of the global population. The deadly virus replaced the world with a dystopian land. In this dystopia, the world suddenly transforms, and although few survivors over the years have attempted to rebuild the lost civilization, the past and a mysterious prophet follows them. At the beginning of the world’s ending, one man, Jeevan, witnessed the change in society’s behavior. Services that were available pre-collapse vanished, and life suddenly became a free-for-all. For the survivors over the years, some people wanted to reminisce

Cooney Potter is my favorite character. He tells how he acquired a small piece of land from his father, and through hard work, he became quite prominent, but never satisfied. “Wishing to own two thousand acres, I bustled through the years with axe and plow, Toiling, denying myself, my wife, my sons, my daughters…” He says that his hard work killed him before he reached the age of sixty. He had achieved the American dream in the physical sense—but he had never taken the time to enjoy it.

Harold is a young boy who is an attention seeker, a disturbed child and one who is obsessed with death. He loves to act out suicide scenes for a hobby, which usually means that there are deeper issues. Maude, who is an older lady is also interested in death but she is as some people describe her to be “high on life” is always joyous and looking to live life to the fullest.

He came across as a bitter, cold-hearted person but in actuality was probably the character that felt the most in the
