Escaping reality

In this chapter we learned about realism and abstraction. The swift in art happened as societies changed and the way they expressed also changed. In early art realism was depicted by and represented by drawings and sculptures that represented something that could be seen. For example, we learned earlier about art that was discovered in caves that depicted different animals. This art was said to represent different things but, yet the drawings and paintings were in the shapes of animals or objects

worldview and the postmodern worldview. According to Shelly & Miller (2006), Modern western believes that all reality is divided into two camps and the line between them is sharp. For example, they believe there is good and evil and those two entities cannot be mix. Only one of them is the truth and only one can control the other. From a spiritual standpoint, the view says that God is ultimate reality and God is the Truth. On the other hand, postmodern view the world differently. Everyone looks at everything

in the mirror is not always what is real or actually happening. In the story Heartbeat, a young boy wears a lot of layers of clothing to make it look like he is bigger than he actually is. Everyone believes that he actually gained weight. But in reality, he was actually just wearing four shirts under his jacket. “ ‘Have you been working out, Dave? You look bigger’.” I couldn’t tell if she was being

Is it possible to rip off the shackles that are bound to you? In Plato’s “The Allegory of The Cave” there are prisoners that are shackled to the ground, and one manages to get freed by a mysterious figure. Why did this figure free this one person and not the rest? Could this figure be something else other than human? Are the Prisoners actually tied down? So many questions could be rung from this story, guess we’ll have to find out. To start things off, the first prisoner. Why was he the one to

up from a dream thinking that it is real. However, fantasy and reality are completely opposite things. Fantasy is always related with dreams. Dreams that someone created in their imagination. Sometimes, people believe in their dreams because it seems so real. But, reality is related with the real world, the world that people live when they are awake. Reality is the present, the day to day. If this is the case, why do fantasy and reality seem as one in Where are you going? Where have you been? written

in: perception or reality? Have you ever thought you heard something, but there was nothing there? Have you ever thought that you saw someone out of the corner of the eye and when you looked at it there was nobody? When we look down from a tall building on people, they look as small as ants? There are not thousands of times when we misinterpret? What is reality and perception? The mainstream of science describes reality as "the state of things as they really exist”.

Realism is a style of literature that became wildly popular in America after the Civil War. One of its key traits, and differences from romanticism, is that realism focused more on the realistic ways of life rather a fantastic view of reality. This style of literature affected the writing of Eudora Welty, who used realism in her story A Worn Path. In Eudora’s story, realism provided an element of life that made A Worn Path more relatable and lifelike. The characters of A Worn Path are one part of

hear, see, and think what seems fitting to them, and this follows Shakespeare beliefs on illusions regarding humans. He demonstrates this throughout his play Othello, showing that humans have a tough time of differentiating between illusion and reality, but no matter what happens that truth will always come through. Othello, one main character in Othello, is one person that is affected by illusions. His beliefs on his true love, Desdemona, are destroyed and dismantled to where he wishes the death

Magical realism and memoir are ostensibly opposing genres—the first is a work of fiction with elements of fantasy infused with reality while the other is a nonfiction account told through narrative. Despite their differences at the surface, at their foundation, both genres are driven by the same force: ambiguity. Because magical realism is a genre that consists of a realistic yet fictional story in which the characters have an acceptance of the fantastical, the lines between what the reader knows
