    The tale of The Grapes of Wrath has many levels of profound themes and meanings to allow us as the reader to discover the true nature of human existence. The author's main theme and doctrine of this story is that of survival through unity. While seeming hopeful at times, this book is more severe, blunt, and cold in its portrayl of the human spirit. Steinbeck's unique style of writing forms timeless and classic themes that can be experienced on different fronts by unique peoples and cultures of all generations.

  • Beatles Vs Beach Boys Essay

    478 Words  | 1 Pages

    The Beatles and the Beach Boys are two of the most recognized, well-known and most popular musical acts of the 1960’s right through to the 1970’s. I will be focusing on the group acts rather than solo performers such as John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison of the Beatles, who took their own stylistic approach to their music after the Beatles’ separation. Each group’s arrangement and use of instruments classify them as part of the overall associated sound and typical subject matter of songs in the 1960’s, yet remain different enough to distinguish between each group’s desired sound.

  • Les Miserables Connections to Charity

    2201 Words  | 5 Pages

    Jean Valjean understands the deep emotions felt when the desire to love others persists in one’s heart. Valjean originally felt this desire specifically within his own family. Though during his years in prison, he lost it. In striving to feed his starving family by stealing a loaf of bread, Valjean earned himself “nineteen years” in prison. “He entered in 1796 for having broken a pane of glass and taken a loaf of Bread” (Hugo 86) Valjean loved his family so dearly that he risked rotting in jail rather than seeing them starve. He demonstrates pure charity in this act, for no sane person, would risk his life for others, unless his motivations lie in love. Then love “bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” (1 Corinthians 13:7) Valjean perfectly demonstrates the infinite measures people will take out of l...

    Being united in a group provides people the intrepidity to accomplish tasks they would not be able to as individuals. The cohesion of the Joad family is first witnessed when the novel’s protagonist, Tom Joad, returns from prison to be reunited with his family. After spending four years in prison, Tom Joad experiences his very first meal with his family where Jim Casy, a former preacher, says grace over breakfast where he emphasizes the importance of unity, “But when they’re all workin’ together, not one fella for another fella, but one fella kind of harnessed to the whole shebang—that’s right, that’s holy” (Steinbeck 81). This quote foreshadows many of the upcoming events that are bound to happen as Casy and...

    Like a movie, every decision leads to a new scene or part of life. A person’s life can often be broken down the different choices they made in life. The choices are what build character and reputations. Like a movie, if you put it all a person’s choices together you begin to see their story. A great quote from Professor Dumbledore says, "It is our choices that show who we truly are, far more than our abilities."

  • Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

    1044 Words  | 3 Pages

    “Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart.” Heart. Feelings. Trust. All of these concepts said by Carl W. Buechner are philosophies that are spoken of freely in the twenty-first century, where love is limitless and marriage is bound by no restraints. A rich man can easily fall in love with his maid. A poor couple can just as effortlessly run off and get married. However, during the turn of the nineteenth century, this was regarded as foolish, even outrageous. Marriage was for stability, for financial reliability. Love or the “heart” was not at all a necessity, nor even a component to the formula. Happiness in marriage was simply a rare bonus. But Jane Austen proves this contrary in her novel Pride and Prejudice. Her protagonist, Elizabeth, defies the social norm of acquiring a husband for the mere sake of security and instead looks for love. But Elizabeth is no weak, romanticized girl. Her “modern” outlook leads her ultimately to success. Other characters like Charlotte or Lydia will have lukewarm or cold marriages because there were no true feelings of love or even affection; thus, though financial stability is present in Charlotte’s case, there is no intrinsic relationship stability. With this in mind, Austen’s characters’ wide-ranging attributes indicate a wide spectrum of possible relationship developments, but the “happiest” marriage is exemplified in Elizabeth’s because hers is illuminated by full knowledge and mutual love, equating to a secure relationship.

    In the movie The Breakfast Club, five seemingly different adolescents are assigned Saturday detention where they learn that although they each fit a particular stereotype, they all have the same characteristics, but they are expressed differently because they have different experiences, strengths and weaknesses that makes them who they are. In the movie, Bender is the “criminal”, Brian is the “brain” and Allison is the “psychopath.” Each of their situations, strengths and weakness are similar to students that are in our classrooms currently or we may have in our classrooms in the future.

  • Life Essay: What Is The Meaning Of Life

    800 Words  | 2 Pages

    “A soul-centered theory is the view that meaning in life comes from relating in a certain way to an immortal, spiritual substance that supervenes on one 's body when it is alive and that will forever outlive its death” (Metz). Tolstoy believed that in order for life to be meaningful a person must do something worth doing. He also believed that for something to be worth doing it must make a lasting difference on the world. Therefore, in order for life to be meaningful a person must have a lasting, immortal soul. Furthermore, “a soul is necessary for perfect justice, which, in turn, is necessary for a meaningful life”(Metz). When righteous people suffer while wicked people flourish in the world, life seems meaningless. In order for there to be meaning in life, there must be a place where ultimate justice is met. “If there is no good God who sees and knows all and judges justly in the end, then there is truly no hope for justice in this life” (Driscoll). It is worth noting that God goes by many different names, and a meaningful relationship with Him can look different to different people. To find meaning in life, one can assure oneself that after death his or her immortal soul will be rewarded for his or her righteousness in

  • South Asian Music And Religion Essay

    I have been a fan of The Beatles since my early childhood, and have always wondered what inspired them to write their music. Throughout history, music has brought Indian society and civilization together, often doing so contradictory to the conflict between the major religious sects of South Asia. The symbolism behind music provides common musical practice, and they are shared across sacred boundaries of many kinds. The religious and philosophical unity presented through musical practice has deep historical roots, which means that music and religion share many aspects of a common origin. South Asian musical practices have often made peace between conflicting religions, creating new possibilities for shared worship. Therefore it is virtually
