In Wendell Berry’s “Making it home,” he uses the contrast in the character’s identity to demonstrate a change. The story follows the character Art, a man with three identities. Berry demonstrates Arts identities as a way to portray the progression of his rebirth by characterizing Art’s three stages of life; the soldier, the man and the farmer. Berry uses the contrast of Art’s life as a soldier to establish a change in his identity. Wendell Berry presents the difference in Art’s walking as a renewal of life, “I reckon I am done marching, have marched my last step, and now I am walking. There is nobody in front of me and nobody behind. I have come here without a by-your-leave to anybody” (85). The change in Art’s walking as characterized by Berry describes a sense freedom; there is no structure that he has to follow. In the sense of freedom, Berry over exaggerates the fit of Art’s uniform, “The uniform he wore as he walked along the road between Jefferson and Hargrave was now too big for him. His shirt was too loose on his neck, in spite of the neatly tied tie, and under his tightened belt the waistband of his pants gathered in pleats” (89). The over exaggerated fit of the army uniform represents the shift from Art’s past to his future. He suggests a rebirth of Art, “And now, though he walked strongly enough along the road, he was still newborn from his death, and inside himself he was tender and a little afraid” (89). Art does not go through a literal rebirth, but Berry…

Wendell Berry is centered on the topic of eating throughout the whole passage. The title itself reveals clearly that it is going to talk about the pleasure eaters could get out of eating. Eating is one of the most common things human beings do every day, but it seems that few people would seriously study the art of eating. Wendell Berry’s The Pleasure of Eating is such a passage focused on the simple action of eating and a series of things involved correspondingly. It aims to draw the public’s…

We all know someone who loves to eat just about anything. Then again, who doesn’t love a good meal every now and then. However, Wendell Berry seems to think we can’t truly enjoy our meal if we don’t know how our meal arrived to our plates. Berry wrote an essay back in 1989 about the issues within the food industry, and the reasons on why we won’t be able to truly enjoy a meal until the issues are solved. In one of his most famous essays, The Pleasures of Eating, Berry talks about how in 1989…

These two dystopias are different for similar reasons in many ways. They both have government that want to see both societies happy and thriving. They might go about this in different ways, but they’re both trying to achieve a similar goal. They both use Freudian philosophy. Only Huxley uses his theory about people 's urge for sex, and Demonaco uses the theory for violence. Though these are similar themselves at the same time because both are Freudian theories and both discuss human urges. Freud…

Although taking one gramme of soma is harmful to the human body, Bernard indicates that he cares little about his health by taking two pills. Thus, he lives up to the society’s expectations because the ideal New World citizens are those who prioritize the government’s stability over their health. Though Bernard thinks he will never fit into this society, Huxley demonstrates that this corrupt society will find ways to unify everyone under one set of beliefs. In present-day society, people every…

The movie, Colossus: The Forbin Project, discussed the use of an artificial intelligence (A.I.) by the government and how it was contrary to humans’ expectations and decided to enslave humanity. Science and technology were found and invented by humans. In 1894, Guglielmo Marconi made the first radio; Now we have iPhone X. Our lives are full of science and technology. It is hard to not using them even if it is just a simple action like calling one’s friend. Some people may start to question…

The idea of Utopia came about through Thomas More’s Utopia. More’s idea of his utopia society is where there is no class, everyone is of the same level and wears the same clothes except to distinguish between male and female. Everybody look the same, act the same and just practically doing the same thing everyday without any freedom to do things they want to or they would probably never wish to as they are expose to the outside world just in their own Utopia society. Furthermore, the housing and…
