Analyzing Welch's Life Story

Decent Essays

It also introduced the main character Michael Vey, the electroclan and what he has been doing in the last few book. One more thing that happened in the exposition is that the author wrote how much hatch hates the electroclan and what he would do to them is he ever got his hands on them.The last thing that I noticed in the exposition is a conflict. The conflict that I noticed is a character vs inner character from Michael Vey. When I say this I mean In the exposition Michael Vey did not think highly of himself. An example of this is when he was going over whether he was making a difference in the world.

    Samuel L. Jackson once said, “We’ve come a long way in our thinking, but also in our moral decay.” This quote holds true today as society stays rapidly changing and people become more and more desensitized to the horrors of the world. The line between right and wrong fades and turns to a larger gray area, and many things that happen in society today make us question how we, as a collective people, ended up where we are and how we acquired the customs we have today. Aldous Huxley, in his novel Brave New World, uses a great deal of satire and exaggeration to express his concerns for the society he was born into and bring attention to the problems of moral decay, drug dependency, and brainwashing, among other things, in the world.…
