    Perception is just one of the ways in which humans can attempt to understand all that we claim to know. Put simply, perception is defined as our entire understanding of things, including our opinions. The way we perceive our surroundings is swayed by several factors, including past experiences, common sense realism, bias, and even the context in which an event is to occur. Malcom Gladwell’s chapter concerning the Bronx shooting from his book Blink illustrates the idea that many factors - along with a common paradigm between the officers - can influence ones perception of reality.…

    Within the 2007 film adaption of Cormac McCarthy’s novel, No Country for Old Men, sheriff Ed Tom Bell shares his perspective and those who pay attention to his thoughtful observations appear unaffected. The Coen brothers, who directed the film, acknowledge that the novel’s title is a representation of the sheriff’s perspective, but in contrast with the novel, the focus of the movie ‘s perspective involves emphasis on multiple character’s viewpoint and actions. To further clarify, the novel also highlights other’s motives and articulations, but McCarthy frequently provides Bell’s analysis of each surprising event and of his general outlook. The introspection that the book provokes when reading Bell’s ideas about the world, it is thought provoking, in contrast, the movie provokes more an emotional response and consequently is less stimulating.…

    Children are protected from reality in the creation of an escape. As children mature, escape recedes, and slowly reveals reality. In literature, the thematic archetypal process of "coming of age" situates an immature character residing within an escape, and their growth to existing within a mature reality. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn however, Mark Twain refutes the archetype's linear progression with Huck, a thirteen-year-old on the verge of breaking from childhood. Huck does not 'come of age', but rather vacillates in an internal conflict between the escape of childhood, and the reality of adulthood.…

    The texts ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’, written by Harper Lee and ‘12 Angry Men’ directed by Sidney Lumet; both display contrasting features and qualities. While both are very diverse texts, they both share an undeniable resemblance, in relation to a single person affecting a group 's idea of a just and morally right decision. Prejudice and discrimination are a reflection of how both the accused characters in either text sway opinions about which course of action is correct. Two of the protagonists, Atticus Finch and Juror 8, exemplify how a single individual can drastically change what those around them perceive to be right and wrong. Children in both texts, specifically Jem and scout, and Juror 3’s son, are also an example of how one person…
