Wall-E: Your Future Robot
What would you say if you were given a robot free of charge to help on any task you might encounter. You never have to worry for a single moment about the dishes or garbage. Even though we humans have the capability to live our lives without technology, we have become very dependent on what technology brings about. I am not suggesting we get rid of technology but misusing it could eventually impact our society for the worse. That is what the movie Wall-E reveals. It starts off as a single robot named Wall-e, who is built to collect garbage that has been left on earth by human beings. Earth is considered to be inhabitable because humans destroyed it. Humans have left the earth hoping to return soon once the cleanup
“Hello Dolly” is one of Wall-e’s favorite movies, as he spends most of his time alone and the movie seems to comfort him. Music also seems to excite Wall-e when he hums “put on your Sunday clothes there’s lots of world out there….” Eve, one of the robots from the Axiom (space ship), is sent to earth to scan for chances of habitable life. During this time is when Eve and Wall-e meet. Unlike Wall-e, Eve is committed to her “directive.” Eve seems to find flying one of her favorite but can get feisty at times when she gets destructed. The movie reveals Wall-e’s emotional attachment. For instance, when a dust storm comes towards Eve, Wall-e holds her hand and takes her to his home. He treats her with respect and provides a safe place for her to stay. The characteristic of being emotionally attached is shown through Wall-e as he is always there for
Wall -e tries to impress Eve and gives her a living plant that he found. Eve takes the plant and goes into a deactivated state and waits for her space ship. Confused on what has happened to Eve, Wall-e is determined to protect her from lightning, wind or rain. It is hard for him to see her unresponsive but when the spaceship came to reclaim Eve, Wall-e hangs on the outside of the ship to save her. Wall-e shows how attached he is to Eve when he follows her to the spaceship. The Axiom is new to Wall-e, clean and different, as he spends most of his time on earth collecting garbage and dirt. Filled with amusement and excitement, Wall-e manages to follow Eve. During a mission to recover the plant, Wall-e gets beaten up badly. The commanding robot “Auto” will do anything to stop him from fulfilling his mission. However, Wall-e does not give up. For Wall-e, giving up is not an option, which brings a message of

    1581 Words  | 4 Pages

    In M.T Anderson’s, Feed, and the motion picture, Wall-E, multiple parallels show. Feed takes place in a dystopian Earth some 200 years from the present time. Everyone has a machine in the back of the head, called a feed, which allows the user to access the internet or text other friends directly from their head. The omnipotent corporations control what people wear, buy, or learn about. When Titus meets Violet, they engage in a romantic relationship. They struggle to be together as a couple, and eventually Violet’s malfunctioning feed takes over her body, causing her death. Wall-E depicts a trash compactor, named Wall-E, in future, too.

    She becomes too weak to write and devotes all of her time to studying the wallpaper. She begins to see shapes in the wallpaper -- to start off with, it looks to her as it is filled with “absurd, unblinking eyes.” The more she examines the wallpaper, the more she sees.

  • Mental Disorder In The Yellow Wallpaper By Charlotte Perkins Gilman

    953 Words  | 2 Pages

    She sees and believes that the pattern on the wallpaper, who looks very much like a female, moves. The narrator thinks that during the daytime the figure in the wallpaper leaves the wall and then creeps on her. She writes, “I have watched her sometimes away off in the open country, creeping as fast as a cloud shadow in a wind” (Gilman 310). In these lines Gilman shows how the narrator’s mind processed the female inside the wallpaper. The narrator describes how stealthy the woman creep was while she creeped by using a simile in the phrase “creeping as fast as a cloud shadow in a wind.” At the very end of the story the narrator says, “ I’ve got out at last in spite of you and Jane. And I’ve pulled off most of the paper, so you can’t put me back” (Gilman 313) where she pretends that she is the woman inside the wallpaper and that her family was trying to keep her inside. On one hand the narrator initially saw a female figure that was stuck in the wallpaper who wanted to leave while on the other hand, now she thinks she is that figure who is to be captured by her own husband and sister-in-law to be put into the wallpaper. This shows how the narrator’s mental illness has become uncontrollable even for the narrator herself. She later does not even realize her actions and even questions why her husband faints when he comes across her

    The wallpaper, the center of the story, the perceived reason for her madness, was simply just wallpaper that she disliked. Every time she would describe it, her delusions would continually get worse. "I never saw a worse paper in my life." (Gilman) is her first observation of the paper. She strongly believed that there was a woman, "A strange, provoking, formless sort of figure." (Gilman) behind that paper who was creeping outside and around her room. She strongly believed that she needed to help this woman be free of the wretched wallpaper. She strongly believed that the wallpaper had a "yellow smell" (Gilman).

She believes that she is the only person who understands and can get the woman out of her

    The way Gilman describes the wallpaper tells of what the narrator's mind is thinking, 'and when you follow the lame uncertain curves for a little distance they suddenly commit suicide.';(Gillman 206) She doesn't think this on the conscious level but more on the unconscious level. When the narrator writes, '(The designs) destroy themselves in unheard of contradictions.';(Gillman 206) She is speaking of her state of mind subconsciously, the narrator is on the brink of losing her mind at this point. Gillman writes, 'There is a recurrent spot where the pattern lolls like a broken neck and two bulbous eyes stare at you upside down. '(Gillman 207) She was explaining how the wallpaper is like a 'watchdog'; or a guard of some type, watching her every move, naturally making her nervous.
