Easter Island was quite an experience of a new location for settlers and showed the inadequate use of resources that were accessible to the new inhabitants. It showed how desperate and inhumane people became at the extinction of valuable resources on this island. These new owners of land were quickly befallen at the expense of most of their lives and all of the natural resources. The main idea of internal collapse focuses on the issues that man has faced since the beginning of sharpening a stone or stick.…

Dystopias: How Leaders Attempt to Achieve Stability Throughout history, many leaders have tried with varying degrees of success to create various utopian societies in an effort to ensure a stable way of life. This is no different in the film The Island or the novella Anthem, where the leaders desperately attempt to reign ultimate power and control over their citizens to create a strong society. Despite The Island being very technologically advanced compared to the community in Anthem that is trapped in the dark ages, both circumstances allow the leaders to have complete control, achieving stable societies where information is withheld from the citizens. Additionally, through different means of propaganda, the leaders of both dystopias are…

Nikos Kazantzakis once said, “Since we cannot change reality, let us change the eyes which see reality.” Sometimes we can’t quite see reality, even when it is right in front of us, but when it does change, we notice it. Constantly we long to adjust our reality, but we are unable to do so, therefore we must learn to change our perspective. Once reality does change, it might change for the better or the worse, and then we once again will need change our perspective. Throughout Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson, Jim Hawkins’ perspective on reality changed as a result of the forces of death, a location, and realizations.…

This ties into the boys, specifically Jack, associating with Adam and Eve. In the beginning of the book, the boys land on the tranquil island. Everything is peaceful and no worries abound. When the idea of a leader is introduced, things start going downhill.…
In America, we see struggle as being “dumb”, or just not as smart; but why is that? In the passage Stigler says, “people who are smart don’t struggle, they just naturally get it, that’s our folk theory”, I believe that some students understand things more quickly than others; yet I do not believe that anyone is stupid or should have to be put in a special classroom. Being put in other classrooms is one of the main reasons why students feel “stupid”; just because it takes kids longer to do their work does not mean that they should be taken out of the regular classroom for help, I believe that if we (students and teachers) wait for all the kids to do their problem they’re working on it will help them feel more intelligent. In Easter cultures…
The Mysteries of the Easter Island Statues Explorers in the 18th century hoped to find something monumental, perhaps outlandish. When sailors made landfall on a tiny remote island, they found much more than they could have imagined: a land with a mysterious past and monumental statues that seemed far beyond their imaginations. Rapa Nui, or Easter Island as it was to become known, is the Polynesian island found in the southeast Pacific Ocean. Easter Island is considered to be one of the world’s most remote inhabited islands. Easter Island is prominently known for its famous mystery of the Moai statues, built in approximately 1400AD.…

Throughout each story, every hero’s journey follows a pattern towards succession. This twelve step journey has been conducted by Joseph Campbell, after studying the methods used in endless stories towards a hero’s success. One epic showing this is The Odyssey, written by Homer, with the ancient greek hero, Odysseus, following his bumpy path towards home after leaving to fight the Trojan war. While, in the film, Moana, the hero Moana overcomes her obstacles to acquire the heart of Te Fiti to help the people of her land. Throughout their journeys, both heroes, Odysseus and Moana, follow challenging voyages back home, as it is always crucial to journey home.…
