Both 1984 and The Handmaid’s Tale are dystopian novels, however, these books are a lot more complex than mere portrayals of dystopia, it can be argued that they are explorations of dystopia rather than mere portrayals. In order to explore dystopia, many themes must be considered, such as; feminism, love and repression. Nonetheless, it is apparent that human characteristics are the driving point of the two novels, predominantly, the depiction of human resilience. In an imperfect world, it is important to have certain qualities which, if plentiful, it can mean success, whereas if it lacks, it can mean failure, this characteristic is resilience. The protagonists in each novel, Winston in 1984 and Offred in The Handmaid’s Tale face situations which leave them both in disarray, and both even consider suicide. The authors tentatively highlight human resilience, its limits and most importantly its strengths into the two novels.
The Hunger Games was a critically acclaimed movie when it came out; however, some critics would argue that the movie can be sometimes too violent for its intended audience.

“‘They score! Henderson has scored for Canada!’” Foster Hewitt wordlessly described” (Pelletier) when Paul Henderson scored the series-winning goal. This allowed Canada to win the 1972 Summit Series, a moment that no one would ever forget since it all happened during the climax of the Cold War. Prior to this, the Soviets had won the previous three Olympic gold metals since Canada could not use its NHL players. Thus, this provided Canada with the chance to play hockey against the USSR using its best players. This raised the question: if Canada were able to send its best players, would it still be enough to beat the Soviets? Everyone in Canada was certain that the Soviets would not win a single game, but little did they know they underestimated the extent of the Soviets abilities. Tied in the last few minutes of game eight, Canada had to score or they would lose the series. However, when Paul Henderson scored the game-winning goal, never before had a single sporting event meant so much to Canadians. Therefore, Paul Henderson’s goal is a defining moment for Canada in the twentieth century becauseit provided Canada with the opportunity to evolve hockey, proved that Canada and our democratic society were superior to the USSR and their communist society, and brought citizens together to unify Canada as a nation.

Scott Hightower’s poem “Father” could be very confusing to interpret. Throughout almost the entirety of the poem the speaker tries to define who his father is by comparing him to various things. As the poem begins the reader is provided with the information that the father “was” all of these things this things that he is being compared to. The constant use of the word “was” gets the reader to think ‘how come the speaker’s father is no longer comparable to these things?’ After the speaker reveals that his father is no longer around, he describes how his father impacted him. Details about the father as well as descriptions of the impacts the father has distraught on the speaker are all presented in metaphors. The repetitive pattern concerning the speaker’s father and the constant use of metaphors gives the reader a sense that the speaker possesses an obsessive trait. As the reader tries to interpret the seemingly endless amount of metaphors, sets of connotative image banks begin to develop in the reader’s mind. Major concepts that are expressed throughout the poem are ideas about what the speaker’s father was like, what he meant to the speaker, and how he influenced the speaker.
One main idea of this book was that with the right mindset anything is possible. This is proven in the book when Louie is in the concentration camp and has to hold up a large piece of wood while having the Japanese guards stare at him. This shows that he had the mindset that he could outlast the guards and that he could overcome any obstacles in life.
However, even being conscious of it, he asked Amy to marry him, a girl whose expectatives was distinction and greatness. Therefore, it is very clear that both couples had incompatible ways of seeing life. Thus, the only reasonable cause for their involvements was that they were recklessly in love. Since Nietzsche (1982) said that love "is the state in which man sees things most decidedly as they are not", in addition to putting the power of illusion at its peak, it is understandable that all of them minimized these mismatches of opinions on their minds.

Railroads can be referred to as the first big business, and the first industry to develop management bureaucracy (Ogburn 39). Railroads were a vital part of early American history during the 1800s-1860. The development of Railroads was one of the most important phenomena of the Industrial Revolution. Railroads brought social, economic, and political change to the country (Stover 26). In the United States a turnpike era and then a canal era had immediately preceded the coming of the railroads, which proved to be fast, direct, and reliable in all weather. After 1830 the railroads grew so quickly that within a decade their mileage surpassed that of the canals (Hollingsworth 28).
Amy’s life served as the premise for ‘Amazing Amy,’ a series of children’s books created by her parents to turn each of Amy’s shortcomings into a success, forging an alternate version of their daughter’s life which many young girls looked up to. For example, when Amy quit playing cello, Amazing Amy became a prodigy. When Amy was cut from the freshman volleyball team, Amazing Amy made varsity. But when Amy lacked a husband in her adult years, it wouldn’t be surprising to have the next instalment in the series focus on the marriage of Amazing Amy. Batuman comments on this, saying “... when Amazing Amy grows up, she can’t not get married,” implying that the expectation for women to be wed is so hardwired into our society, that even the characters that we create as role models for children must uphold the same standard since it is the norm.
She manipulates everyone surrounding her into believing what she wants them to. Amy makes a fake journal and fills it with nothing but lies to make Nick look guilty. “I catch him looking at me with those watchful eyes, the eyes of an insect, pure calculation, and I think: This man might kill me. So
They did agree on lots of things but one thing they all agreed on was the ability to lie or manipulate and having a lack of remorse. The film portrayed both of these very well over the course of the movie. Firstly, Amy was able to get Nick out of the house to stage her own crime scene and was smart enough to leave subtle clues that pointed to Nick. She also managed to fake his credit card history and paint him as a gambler even though he was not. Everything she did she was able to manipulate Nick, the police, the public, and her high school stalker.
