...Lost in the “American Dream” American novelist Florence King once said, “People are so busy dreaming the American Dream, fantasizing about what they could be or have a right to be, that they're all asleep at the switch. Consequently we are living in the Age of Human Error” (Florence King). This quote brings to light the fact that the American Dream is nigh impossible to achieve. This is simply because people are so caught up in dreaming about what other people have obtained rather than taking the necessary steps to live the dream themselves. American author F. Scott Fitzgerald has an unparalleled impact on the idea of the American Dream. Fitzgerald’s novels This Side of Paradise and The Great Gatsby have consistent themes that feature small aspects of the American Dream that conflicts him. Both the main male characters, Armory Blaine and Jay Gatsby showcase men in 1920s America who have come into wealth, yet their money and shiny trinkets do not bring them happiness, even though that is what both characters legitimately yearned for. Together, Gatsby and Blaine expose a perception of the American Dream that F. Scott Fitzgerald investigated thoroughly throughout his life. The idea that when a society is consumed by materialism and the promises it could bring the real American Dream is lost in the shuffle. Fitzgerald was born on September 24, 1869 in St. Paul, Minnesota. The author was named after his second cousin Scott Francis Key, who wrote the lyrics to the “Star-Spangled...

If it is sound, then the rest of his deeds will be sound. And if it is bad, then the rest of his deeds will be bad.” Apart from the five pillars of Islam establishing good relationships with family and maintaining pure friendships can also help to promote good deeds. Other righteous deeds include being kind to others, being hospitable to family, friends and neighbours, not backbiting or judging others.

...Christians believe that your soul is taken to either heaven or hell (Gray), but Mormons believe your soul is taken to either paradise or spirit prison (Taysom). The Christians heaven is a “place of peace and communion with God,” (Gray). The Christian’s heaven is like the Mormon’s paradise. The Mormon’s paradise is a place with peace and rest (Taysom). Christianity’s hell is a place for those who did not seek forgiveness (Gray). In hell, people are in anguish in flames (English Standard Version, Luke 16:25). The Mormon’s sprit prison is a place where a person is tormented by guilt and denied rest (Taysom). Mission work can still be one while a Mormon is in sprit prison. This allows a Mormon to be able to get into heaven even though they did not get into paradise right after death...

...Fool’s Paradise by Isaac Bashevis Singer What is paradise like? Would people live happily in paradise? Atzel dreams to live in paradise and becomes ill. To the grief of his parents, he is willing to die. Why does Alzel want to go to paradise so much? Will his illness be cured? Please read the following cautionary tale magicallv told by the 1978 Nobel Prize winner in literature. Somewhere, sometime, there lived a rich man whose name was Kadish. He had an only son who was called Atzel. On the household of Kadish there lived a distant relative, an orphan girl, called Aksah. Atzel was a tall boy with black hair and black eyes. Aksah had blue eyes and golden hair. Both were about the same age. As children, they ate together, studied together, played together. It was taken for granted that when they grew up they would marry. But when they had grown up, Atzel suddenly became ill. It was a sickness one had ever heard of before: Atzel imagined that he was dead. How did such an idea come to him? It seems he had had an old nurse who constantly told stories about paradise. She had told him that in paradise it was not necessary to work or to study. In paradise one ate the meat of wild oxen and the flesh of whales; one drank the wine that the Lord reserved for the just; one slept late into the day; and one had no duties. | Atzel was lazy by nature. He hated to get up early and to study. He knew that one day he would have to take over his father's business and he...

...Jack Kerouac’s novel, On the Road, is about the journey of a young college-age man across the country in search of something more from his life in post-war America. The book revolves around a young man named Sal Paradise, and the whole story is told from his perspective. The rambling writing, while hard to understand sometimes, offers a detailed record of his pursuit and the ensuing antics. The story starts in 1947 where Sal meets a man named Dean Moriarty, a lively and animated man who was a “sideburned hero of the snowy West” (Kerouac 2). It was Dean who prompted Sal’s adventurous travels west. Along the way, Dean and Sal befriend Carlo Marx, an energetic young poet who shares the same view of wanting something a little more out of life. Sal’s journeys across the U.S. and to Mexico open his eyes to the good and bad, the up and downs in life. His constant stints on the road with madman Dean sometimes got him in trouble with the law. Other times, the trips allowed Sal to truly find out more about himself, and relate to Dean on a more personal level to share and connect The meaning behind the title On the Road lies in Sal’s innate desire for something more. The road in this novel comes to symbolize freedom and the solution to answer life’s problems. Sal constantly finds a refreshing sense of purity once he hits the open road, especially in the company of Dean, whose spirit was the catalyst for the voyages in the first place. However, once Sal and Dean get to Mexico City...

...Olaudah Equiano was enslaved during the historic Atlantic Slave Trade, in the late 1700’s and into the 1800’s. Though nobody could argue that slavery was “good” or even “humane,” Equiano did have the fortune of learning skills most other slaves didn’t while serving his master. Equiano learned the skills of writing and arithmetic, among others, and was able to buy his freedom after laboring for years. After he earned his freedom, Equiano became an abolitionist speaker and writer, striving to rid the world of slavery. He wrote an autobiography entitled The Life of Olaudah Equiano, which was first published in 1789, but revised and released yet again in 1814. Assumably, words were very important to Equiano and chosen with care. The excerpt...

...they were gone. Romeo and Billy were not asking for forgiveness from God but instead, they have confidence in themselves that they will go to heaven. Then, they were gone too. One of God’s followers asks me to rest. So I went to sleep. Day 2. I went to the judging palace where I saw the four murderers talking to God in day 1. Then, God asked me: “Do you think that your sins are forgivable young man? Do you think you will go to my heaven?” I remained silent. After a while, I said: “I know that some of my sins are unforgivable but I want to go to heaven so I want to ask you to forgive me Lord. Cleanse me Lord, remove all my sins”. “Do you want to take peek in hell and heaven?”, God asked. “Yes, I would like to see hell and heaven.” I said. Then, we travelled. Day 3. I saw hell. It was horrible. It was dark and so hot in there. And I saw Romeo and Billy suffering. “They were not sincere in themselves and they didn’t ask forgiveness.”, God said. I’m sad for them. I can’t do anything but watch them suffer. “We’re done here. Let’s go.” God said. Then we left hell. Day 4. I saw heaven. It was a paradise. It was beautiful and peaceful there. It was a magnificent place. It surpasses my expectation. “So, this is heaven. It is beautiful” I said. “Yes, my child. This is my paradise. Only those who are sincere in themselves are allowed in here”. Then, I saw John and...

...but right before it (a.k.a Ante-Purgatory), it does indeed have some similarity/parallelism (but also big differences) to the first circle of the Inferno (Limbo). The key words I noticed was that Dante the wayfarer asks Virgil who are those “separate from the rest” as they approach Limbo[2] (In the Inferno). Then in the Purgatorio, Sordello leads Dante and Virgil to the Valley of the Rulers who are referred to those (spirits) who are “set apart”[3] Now speaking of Limbo in the Inferno, Virgil, who also happens to be from this place (proved by line 39, Inferno 4), refers to the inhabitants of Limbo as “those who live in longing”[4] (manifested by their constant sighing, and not any outcry of pain due to suffering unlike other Cantos in the Inferno). Logically and factually, these souls long for the Beatific Vision or entry into Paradise, but such event will never happen despite these pagans being virtuous[5] (unless Christ decides to repeat the Harrowing of Hell wherein He took some virtuous pagans in Limbo and brought them to Paradise[6]). In reference now to the Valley of the Rulers, these individuals also live in longing, but unlike the virtuous pagans in Limbo, these late-repentants will ultimately gain entrance to Paradise thanks to their accepting of Christ. I have chosen therefore to...

...In both John Milton’s Paradise Lost and the anonymous work Sir Gawain and the Green Knight temptation is used as a vital tool, contributing conflict to the plot. The means, purpose, and consequences of temptation lead the protagonists to different conclusions. The stories follow a parallel, diverging only when one protagonists fails and the other succeeds. With the idea that God gave mortals freedom and therefore they have the ability to choose in mind, it is arguable that the tale of Adam and Eve could have resulted in the same storybook conclusion as Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The many parallels between the two stories indicate that with this God-given ability of choice, both stories could end in tragedy, such as Paradise Lost, or in...

...Running Head: Boy at the Window Boy at the Window ENG 125: Introduction to Literature Instructor: Sarah MacDonald April, 15 2012 Running Head: Boy at the Window Boy at the Window In “Boy at the Window”, Richard Wilbur uses examples of contrast, personification and allegory in order to convey a message about the fate of childhood innocence. Wilbur tries to tell the reader that the innocence felt by children is doomed from the start to succumb to the forces of experience. Contrast is the strongest literary device utilized in “Boy at the Window”, with the numerous examples serving to drive home the loss of innocence and set a tone for the whole poem. Wilbur juxtaposes the bitter cold outside with the warmth inside the home where the child resides; while the child looks at the snowman’s predicament from his own perspective, the more experienced snowman knows that he would be doomed were he to enter the warm house. This leads into a contrast between the worldly snowman, who understands the necessary division between his position and the boy’s, and the young child who feels only sympathy. Ice and water form another example of contrast; “Though frozen water is his [the snowman’s] element”, the snowman cries single tears of melted water out of sympathy for the young’s boy’s sorrow. What the boy desires, for the snowman to be inside the warmth rather than out in the cold, cannot be. A second group of contrasting images is the difference between loneliness and company. Much...

...He challenges the common notion that scientists are only “conquistadors who melt down Inca gold” (461). In order to fully understand the bird of paradise, Wilson asserts, there is a need to explore its outer qualities, the plumes, dance, and daily life in addition to its microfilament configuration, enzymatic catalysis, chromosomes, and fiber tracts (461). By analyzing the art, Wilson suggests another dimension is added to the understanding of the bird. The “hunter” or science, by itself, can only analyze on the level of the cell, “altering the scale of perception to the micrometer and millisecond” (461). Science allows us to glimpse into the why: why does the bird of paradise have such complex fiber tracts? But the “poet” or art gives us an answer: because its diet contains mainly of fruit and nuts which requires a complex digestion system to accommodate the high fiber intake. The outer qualities, Wilson stresses, opens “a deeper understanding through the exact description of their constituent parts. They can be redefined as holistic properties that alter our perception and emotion in surprising ways” (461). Together, with analysis on a scientific...

...Lauren Davis Dr. Stephanie Wheatley Intro to REL 1113 Nov 15 2013 Paradise Now Review The movie Paradise Now follows the lives of two best friends Said and Khaled in present day Islam-oriented Palestine, In Nablas on the West Bank. Nablas is a sort of slum type area; there are many parts in the movie where we see the buildings are broken down and ruined. For example, Said and Khaled both live with their whole family in their shack style houses that look like beat up apartments, when it shows them sleeping they are sleeping on simple mats on the floor, instead of a real bed or even a spring mattress. The opening scene shows Said is shown working on a car in what looks like an old rusty junk yard where soon Khaled and their boss come in all with bitter attitudes. Throughout the movie, the characters such as Khaled and Said constantly refer to their city as “a jail” and When Suha tells the cab driver “things will get better” he comments back the question “you’re not from here?”; Giving the audience the feeling that those who live there have a very negative outlook on life. They always talk about the violence going on between Nablas and Tel Aviv; also giving the idea that those who grew up in Nablas never knew anything more than violence and to hate those who they think hate them. The movie quickly turns when Said is approached by Jamal (a man they have known for a long time) who tells them they have been chosen by Allah to carry out “the next mission”. He seems very excited...

...the gods who had super- human powers and had unique and ultimate special skills of their own, and overcame unsurmountable problems. However, in Beowulf, there is no Greek or Roman gods, but there are other supernatural beings defined as monsters that exist and are difficult to win over. Beowulf is extra-ordinarily strong, agile, and super intelligent. He is portrayed as one who overcomes many obstacles and was able to kill Grendel and his mother and the others in the sea. In addition, the wide character list and meaningful names is similar to those of other types of literature of the early eras. The story of Paradise lost opens in hell. Satan and his followers are recovering from defeat after they waged war against God. They decide to build a palace, known as Pandemonium, where after holding a meeting they decide to agree on whether or not to return to battle. Paradise Lost is all about man’s disobedience to God and his subsequent fall from God’s grace. Milton states in the prologue that he intends to “justify the ways of God to...
