    I have chosen Nelson Mandela for my comparison to Chris Mccandless. The reason I chose this freedom rights leader is because I feel like he has a lot of similarities to Chris in many ways. They are very similar in ways that I will explain in this essay. They are both from very different places, they have different situations but they are doing something to reach greater solitude and that’s why I think they are very similar. Nelson Mandela has impacted the lives of so many people fighting for his…

    • 3 Pages

    Nelson Mandela once said that “There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” Although, Nelson Mandela isn’t an actor and doesn’t even have anything to do with the show business he still is an inspiration to many. I relate to this quote in many ways; one way I relate to this quote is that I feel that anyone can accomplish what they want if they try harder. Also, people shouldn’t see themselves as less then what they…

Freud is right by saying we are sexual and violent beings, and both governments in both dystopias acknowledge that. Neither government wants change but their are still people who dislike these worlds. For example in Brave New World, John the Savage comes in and tells…

    Because Aldous Huxley was concerned about the dangers of scientific progress, he wrote a novel predicting a future in which technology dominates mankind. In Huxley’s Brave New World, John perceives the New World society – which he had high hopes for – as wicked, disgusting, and foolish. John disagrees with many aspects of this morally corrupt society: open sexuality, hypnopaedia, use of a brainwashing drug, and lack of individualism. During his experience in the New World, John befriends Bernard…

    President John F. Kennedy once said “conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.” The concept of conformity and individuality is clearly illustrated in the novel Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury. Like most dystopian novels, Fahrenheit 451 contains a damaged society in which the people use technology as a distraction to avoid any critical thinking. The lack of meaningful relationships that the masses have with their family displays technology’s negative impact on this society.…
