Waking Moment Essay

Improved Essays
At the exact second the exact waking moment that I had awakened into consciousness, it felt as if all the knowledge in the universe had escaped my head. I remember that i had gotten a quick glance at it before i shot straight out of bed. It was not the entirety of the universe that i had seen but only a fleeting fragment that man had already discovered and more, so much more. It was like God had pushed my consciousness through the doors of reality and shut them behind me, and as he closed them i got to see through the crack of the universe. There is a word to describe what was on the other side of the doors, something that the mind of a four year old with no memory before that except the very basics. And that word is the toughest word in

    Night Journal Essay

    Night Journals Journal 1 Due to the extraordinary circumstances that come with forced imprisonment, I believe that all morals and incentives for human decency in a desperate situation will be extremely diminished, if not fully suppressed. Consequently, desirable character traits in a more social world (altruism, empathy, compassion) are no longer idolized as the hallmarks of an ideal individual: Instead, antisocial traits such as cunning, ruthlessness and apathy will provide more of an advantage to a man or woman who must fight for their survival. If I were placed in this situation, I would find it difficult, if not impossible, to adapt to the latter traits, simply because of the society I have lived in and grown accustomed to. I would look…

    Stylistically, author’s tend to keep discernable similarities embedded within their works of writing and this does not exclude the nature of characters. Both Edna Pontellier and Louise Mallard shared substantially similar views on their lives as wives. Throughout both stories of each of the two women, Chopin displayed an ever present concept of women feeling confined in marriage rings which acted as handcuffs to societal expectations. First and foremost, Chopin had chosen to end both of her works of literature in the same exact manner.…

    The mood and setting of each of the novels are established in the first few pages of the book. In The Awakening by Kate Chopin, the setting in the beginning is in the Grand Isle, a small beach in Louisiana. The Pontellier family is vacationing there for the entire summer and it is there that the family meets the friends that will be major characters for the remainder of the novel. The sea is where Edna escapes reality and becomes the free woman she wants to be, not the controlled wife she is made out to be, so it is important that the beach be an established setting early on in the book. “The voice of the sea is seductive; never ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring, inviting the soul to wander for a spell in abysses of solitude; to lose itself in mazes of inward contemplation.…
