Absolute Materialism In general, the phrase “materialism” is used to refer to metaphysical theories regarding the nature of reality. Absolute materialism holds that matter is the only reality in the world whose conditions and activities render meaning to every event in the universe (Knight, 2012). Put simply, absolute materialism commits to the following principle; that all that exists is ultimately physical – that matter contains electrons, protons, atoms, and molecules, all of which are bound…

portrayals allowed the audience to experience secondhand what he felt everyday while he was at war and just how bad the war can be although there were parts where he mentioned the war as if it was just a daily hangout between the soldiers when in reality it was the opposite of that. In fact, accurate portrayals would have ruined this book because it would have lacked details, in spite of those details being excruciating; it gave the author his credibility and allowed for the audience to believe…

world slips away as they enter hell on earth. All, the course, one is oblivious too due to the ‘feel-good’ feeling. “Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life.” (Shaw) This quote depicts how alcohol numbs one's sense of reality to escape the hardships of life.

of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.” In this quote, Theodore Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, explains that reality and fantasy often share certain characteristics with each other. Both Christina Rossetti and Angela Carter’s fairy tales, “Goblin Market” and “The Tiger’s Bride”, respectively, contain this synthesis of reality and fantasy emphasized by Dr. Seuss.

Forester when she once said “ A work of literature must provide more than factual accuracy or vivid physical reality. It must tell us more than we already know.” This quote means that the facts shown can go beyond reality, there is more than what is just being shown. I agree with this quote because just because facts are being shown there is always more to them. Literature does more than depict reality, and factual accuracy is not important. According to the story “The scarlet Ibis “ It was…

the topic is highly discussed, as how the characters use drugs in order to not think about their normal everyday life and how they try to escape reality by getting high off the pills from their work.
