Although he wrote many works in his time, Plato 's most famous piece was The Republic. The philosopher created what we know as "the allegory of the cave." Plato once wrote, "How could they see anything but the shadows if they were never allowed to move their heads?" (Plato) In The Truman Show, created in 1998, the man that controls Truman Burbank 's life says, "We accept the reality of the world with which we 're presented. It 's as simple as that."

Richard Powers’ work Gain is a tour de force of whatever it is. I say this, rather than describing it as merely a novel, although that is precisely what it is, because Powers has herein created something more than your typical story. In this work, two seemingly unrelated paths are set on ambagious paths which will ultimately culminate in their intertwining.

Therefore, I can see that she feels empathy with the death of Mr. Scott. One of the themes that I can constantly see

Along these lines, The Beast in the Jungle seems to possess a critical position all the while as a story of "time lost and discovered once more," and "time ruled, caught, charmed, surreptitiously subverted better distorted" (Genette, 1980, 160). James' decision for such worldly setting is, indeed, an exhibit of the account's potential for fleeting self-sufficiency. James abuses fleeting conflict as an excellent means for checking past close by present experience (Bahun, 2012). The guests of the party

beginning of the play, Laura sees herself as “crippled” and not “expecting any gentlemen callers,” for she is extremely shy and unconfident. Furthermore, she embodies her collection of glass menagerie, for when Tom hurls his coat across the room “It strikes against the shelf of Laura’s glass collection... [and] Laura cries out as if wounded.” Laura’s action in this scene symbolizes her frailness and how she is a piece of the glass menagerie. Being part of the glass collection, Laura is confined to the
