However, in a society like the one in Fahrenheit 451, the happiness of life is so drawn out and nonexistent that it blurs the line to death.

I read the chapter “The Newcomers”, the book first starts off by stating how France started sending explorers to find new lands. When Francis I, (The king of France) sent Jacque Cartier, his job was to find a shipping route and precious gems and metals. Jacque Cartier arrived at Newfoundland and from there journeyed down to Prince Edward Island. Chief Donnacona went with his brother and two sons protest the cross, but the French convinced Donnacona to allow Jacque Cartier to take his two sons Domagaya and Taignoagny. Donnacona told stories to ward off Cartier from going past Quebec City, but soon Cartier went against Donnaconas wishes and past Quebec City and went as far as Montreal. Cartier’s crew got sick with scurvy and died off but he was still alive so he set sail back to France.

Meehan is analyzing the valley as a place of unconsciousness for society, which lets the reader infer the valley equals death. He uses imagery to create an image in the reader's head of the work’s theme; however, in this case, he refers to society stressing there is no such thing as the American

I came to America with a suitcase and a dream, but little did I know that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. After my family and I worked our whole lives to come to the land of opportunity we faced problems in the cities and workplaces, in the environment, problems in politics, and in society.

Since the beginning of its time, America has set a global standard for offering chances at prosperity and career opportunities for qualified adults. Its people have been implicating the idea of the “American Dream” into its culture for many years and has become widely recognized by individuals all across the world. People pack up their lives and families to travel to American soil to try at a chance of a better life, and in doing so, they too venture on a path to achieving this so commonly understood “American Dream.” Arthur Miller, a well-known literary writer in America, seems to disagree with this national phenomena, offering a different view in his play Death of a Salesman. In this play, he demonstrates through the life of an average

From trying to describe America as a whole, Steinbeck mentions how “we fight our way in, and try to buy our way out”. This most inarguably addresses how Americans as nation likewise as individuals, are just as prone to get involved in something important, but when we feel that it no longer makes us content we find our way out. Its a negative depiction of America seeking more to than wanting the impossible. This desirable drive will ultimately be the result of our nation being “aggressive and defenseless”. Steinbeck already hinting on America’s questionable actions goes off into the ironic treatment we impose on each other. For example, in the third paragraph of “Paradox and Dream”, Steinbeck notifies the disappointment generalization how “fortunes are spent getting cats out of trees” while “a girl screaming for help in the street draws only slammed doors”. This strong contrast between an animal receiving help and a girl not being care for becomes the final straw in Steinbeck refocusing the readers to note that this way of life isn’t right. He wants his readers to be guided into noting that what he is saying is the complete opposite of what he is written on

Lindo was arranged to marry Tyan-yu. While the marriage was short-lived, Tyan-yu constantly lied to Lindo, and Tyan-yu’s mother treated Lindo like an object to be bartered between families. Lindo experiences depression being trapped in this lifestyle, so she decides to flee to America in order to escape it. When reminiscing on her marriage Lindo says, “I had no choice, now or later. That was how backward families in the country were. We were always the last to give up stupid old-fashioned customs” (Tan ). Similar to the mother in the beginning, Tan creates appeal to pathos, forcing the reader to sympathize with Lindo. The reader’s sympathy to Lindo allows Tan to expand on the larger issue of sexism, creating an emotional and educational tone in order to coax the reader into, again, understanding the true scale of sexism. Tan drilling this larger idea of sexism into readers changes the reader’s perspective. With new perspective, readers notice the need for change to establish equality between both sexes. Therefore, Tan is using her writing as a tool for a deeper subject: exciting change within the world, and thus, exemplifying Jong’s words.
