Walter Mitty And Rainbows End

” The 18-year-old girl dreams of attending college, and in her family, “no one in her family goes to college (“Where Dreams Come From”, stanza 2, line 7).” She wants to have a proper education and become a figure in the real world. Her family is sitting on the sidelines of civilization and she is sick of that fact. That household is aware of this; nonetheless, she still is not allowed to leave. Walter Mitty is no different. His wife is domineering and infuriating, as she constantly admonishes him and tells him he is doing everything incorrect. For instance, when Mitty accidentally speed up his Buick, his wife screeched at him that, “he was driving too fast (“Secret Life of Walter Mitty”, page 1, paragraph 2),” when he “was up to fifty-five km/hr. while knowing her comfort-level was forty-five km/hr.” She prohibits this poor soul from living his life by controlling his every-being than he does of his own body. He cannot accomplish his dream. His desire is not similar to the girl’s. He yearns of being heroic and the center of attention. However, he is the exact opposite and his wife frequently pushes him off the cliff of confidence, where his spirit is shattered. Not only that, he often questions her, “ If it ever occurs to her that he is sometimes thinking.” And she rubs it

Kyle stands in the middle of the stage and does another show-and-tell type speech on the play. Whilst he is standing in the middle of the stage, he incorporates direct address and space as he stands by himself in front of the audience. There are no sounds, the light is only on Kyle and this mood is made so that the audience concentrates on his story as it is an important information on the play. Like the previous speech, he begins with a very lovely story about how he founds and loves a cat. However, when he starts to talk about when his father found the cat, the story takes a dark turn and tension builds. Kyle’s voice becomes faster, louder and shaky to show the emotions which he feels. The actress which plays Jessie morphs into the cat at this point by using the conventions of multiple roles to assist in telling the story. This story is very important in the play as the plastic bag which his father used to kill his cat becomes a major symbol throughout the play in various types of scenes. Whenever he feels threatened, upset or sad, he pulls out the bag and put it around his head and neck. Thus, this shows the audience his emotions and let them link the symbolism with the scene without having to physically talk. This shows that Kyle’s life is affected by his violent father and

Throughout the novel “The Story Of Tom Brennan” Burke cleverly employs an enormous amount of changes as a result of one tragic event. The event involves

Life requires us to move to new stages, each with its own set of obstacles and challenges which, if successfully overcome, can enrich one’s experience. A significant role in this process is played by familial and social values and external interventions. Stephen Daldry’s film ‘Billy Elliot’ (2000) depicts the protagonist’s growth as he discovers a passion for ballet which drives him to break free from traditional masculine stereotypes in his mining hometown. This similar drive traces the quest of the Brennan Family in the Australian Documentary “Proof of life”, when their son Nigel, a war photojournalist, is captured and held hostage in Somalia for ransom. Both texts illustrate the importance of determination, persistence and tenacity in

Although Chris McCandless’ controlling and toxic family environment was a major motive for his escape, his deep-seated internal battle was simply an irresistible impulse for discovery and liberty. Chris’ journey shows a new level of freedom; what true independence holds. He set out into nature alone without support of family or friends, searching for a path unlike those of most, and running from a barred cage of conventional living. Unsatisfied and somewhat angry with himself and his life of abundance in money, opportunity, and security, his preceding experiences and determined character lead him to an inevitable flee into no-mans land. Throughout the novel, Krakauer wants the reader to understand that there is more to Chris than his habit of criticising authority and defying society’s pressures. He needed more from himself, and more from life. He wasn’t an ordinary man, therefore could not live with an ordinary life. Krakauer demonstrates this by creating a complex persona for Chris that draws you in from the beginning.

Krakauer introduces new themes and new important figures as he delves deeper into the mystery; Krakauer was the only one who published about how “his [Chris’] camera was ruined and McCandless stopped taking photographs, he also stopped writing a journal” (Krakauer 38). The anecdote was the utmost important theme discussed as almost every thought Krakauer had already happened. With such anecdotes, the reality of the situation is apparent, especially utilizing diction describing events that already happened. As Chris eventually passes in the woods and “by the time The New York Times, picked up the story about the dead hiker, the Alaska State Troopers had been trying for a week to figure out who he was” (Krakauer 98-9). The news of McCandless death materializes via anecdote, so it is to show the importance of said device.

By providing more insight into his own background, Krakauer shows the root of his empathy for Chris, this empathy is clearly shown in chapter fifteen: “From elementary school through high school, my siblings and I hectored to excel in every class, to win medals in science fairs, to be princes of the prom, to win election to student government” (148). Krakauer outlines a description of his pressured homelife as a youth, mirroring McCandless and his rocky relationship with his parents. His reflection of McCandless shows that Krakauer understands Chris’s mindset on a deeper level than that of a sympathetic outdoorsman with a taste for the extreme, Krakauer can directly empathise with McCandless. Krakauer’s authority is also present when he details his lack of equipment, “I didn’t have a watch, but what seemed like in a very short time, I was on the distinctive final ice field” (153). Krakauer was guided by ambition and as a result left out pieces of equipment on his climb of self discovery.

The most significant discoveries and rediscoveries provide individuals with challenging obstacles allowing them to grow and find new perspectives.

As life is precious and personal possessions can be replaced. While many unplanned discoveries can be exciting and joyful, planned discoveries and rediscoveries can lead to great success. They give individuals a chance to prepare for what it is they are discovering. Discoveries can also stimulate new ideas that can expand an individual’s values and provide them with greater perspectives. In Jane Harrisons Australian play, Rainbow’s

Bart Layton built this doc not from one perspective, but from a collection of them. Some stories, like “The Imposter” need a panoptic approach to connect the audience to the film.

Basically, if Mitty had not made such awful decisions, the entire situation could have been avoided or lessened in suffering. In making the choices to sniff and touch
