Paranoia

In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, the ill-advised children's fear and ability to get along with each other make the establishment decompose. The fear compels the boys to go separate ways, creating a chilling concern throughout the whole tribe. One can see the fear is already in play early in the book. The fear starts out as a small-scale problem. In an assembly about fear, midway through the book, Simon decides to take a step forward and break his comfort zone, and voices his opinion about…

Also, it is not a…

desert. Operating under the pseudonyms, Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo, these two men have a bigger mission. Their mission is to search for the “American Dream”. However, they do not find a typical dream, but more of a nightmare. Tales of hitchhikers, paranoia, flying bats, and reptile people would plague readers’ minds. Along with absurd amounts of drugs and alcohol, the entire book is one crazy trip. I recommend this book to those who are unafraid of the wild side of literature. Fear and Loathing…

Subconscious Scares Many of us like to experience fear on purpose. We enjoy watching horror movies and sometimes a good scary book. People are fond of the rush of adrenaline they come in contact with. If their brain processes that there is no real harm, then then they experience the event as enjoyable. I will prove that the quote, " People love scary stories. There's fascination with fear themes, and we want to face those things in a weird subconscious way." by Mel Gibson, is true. In The…

As children growing up, especially in the “land of the free”, we expect the world to be a fair and just place. Commit a crime and you face punishment, commit no crime and you live freely. In the eyes of children the world is simple – black and white. However, even in America, the world is not an evenhanded place. Everyday innocent people go to jail and criminals walk free. The justice system is not perfect and that is a reality children learn as they evolve into adults. Nonetheless there are…

intertwined in regards to the nature each narrative and plot takes. The Tell-Tale Heart illustrates and manifests itself with a distinct narrator with a kind of “split nature”, a man who can perhaps be described as suffering from an intense form of paranoia, while the latter denoting an exacerbation of a mental condition and ultimately concluding with a paradoxical and freeing insanity, yet despite such unintended respite, both alike through the…
