A body or system of teachings related to a particular subject or belief, or a doctrine can be referred to as advocating for a particular principle. Each of the presidents in the United States of America ruled using a doctrine. With the use of a doctrine, a president is able to set goals and attitudes to be followed during their reign. The doctrines are mostly associated with Cold War. The main concern in this article is the Truman doctrine which is associated with the Soviet Union, cold war, and countries like Greece, Iran, and Turkey.

Through this, Truman finds himself. He finds out his real identity and his ultimate purpose. Many people are captured by immaturity, they can not find a way out and are stuck in a cage of misunderstanding and confusion.

I thought that it was messed up about what was happening to Truman. At the same time I also thought it was pretty interesting because they were able to keep him in the show for such a long time. I also thought it was impressive that they made a dome that held a small town and had so many cameras around the town that could detect mostly everything. I think it must’ve took a lot of cash for them to come up with all of this and stick it through for Truman's whole life.

The author continuously characterizes Tom Walker in a way that makes the readers pity and resent him to not want to follow the example of his life. For example, after Tom's wife takes all their valuables and tries to strike a bargain with the devil when Tom wouldn’t do it himself, he goes looking for her in the woods. Irving shows just how little Tom cared about his wife when he describes his reaction to her disappearance and death. He is more concerned about the safety of his silverware, which she had taken with her. "He leaped with joy; for he recognized his wife's apron, and supposed it to contain the household valuables.” That shows that he is really greedy and ruthless. However, Tom shows no remorse for his dead wife and has evidence that shows that his wife had beaten up even the
