A Common Criticism Against Jack Aron
“There is only so much on Earth and it is a waste of time to continue your delusional ways” A common criticism against Jack Aron. The great adventurer who discovered nothing. In dreams he stood among the greatest adventures atop his own mountain in his own continent, however in reality he sat in a dirty depressing apartment. The ceiling was caked in mold with broken drywall and rotting carpet completing the lovely room. Lying in a musty creaky bed he stared at the ceiling lost in a world of dreams, but he could not find joy in them. Across the room sat the reason for his misery a woman with large blue eyes and dull blonde hair with strokes of grey around the temples. A ring decorated her finger, a ring that he gave her on that day he signed …show more content…
Jack took a long step back before he responded. “ Nothing is going to stop me. My destiny, my legacy, my dream lies beyond this border. I am not scared of anything.” Jack's ego was flaring as each passionate word entered the air. “ HAHAHA, you gonna die out there. Jelly brain or naw.” The soldiers fell to the ground and slowly disappeared. Their chest pieces began to flop as two giant goldfish inched their way through the shirt and into the the plains. Jack merely observed the spectacle and with a violent head shake and a slap he awoke to reality. With a firm foot and determination burning in his eyes he crossed the border entering the neverending …show more content…
All humans whether the the useless scum or the greatest leaders will be forgotten. With time their names will fade and the world will continue with its routines. It is for this reason that all must enjoy life. Whatever cards they are dealt merely rejoice in the fact that they were even given cards. Life should be a joyful time, not something squandered away with delusions of greatness. You threw away this great gift and so you shall fade and join those who now experience nothing.” The voice silenced and Jack was brought into the cloud. His hand turned black and slowly eroded into powder. He closed his eyes as his body broke apart spreading ash into the atmosphere. So ends Jack the great explorer who discovered

    We are first introduced to Robert Walton, a 28 year old sea captain who is embarking on a journey to the North Pole in order to find a passage from the Pacific to the Atlantic. The letters are written to his sister, Mrs Saville, in London, England. He has talked about making this expedition for six years; it has been his favourite dream and he is pleased that he finally has a chance to make good on his promise to himself. Although he appears arrogant in the first letter and sees himself as a god like figure, for example Walton says ‘I shall confer on all mankind’ and ‘elevates me to heaven’, he is supposed to be a man of science but is seeing himself as a godly figure. His arrogance is seen often through the first letter as is his tendency to see himself as better than others, placing himself on a pedestal, ‘I imagined that I might also obtain a niche in the temple where the names of Homer and Shakespeare are consecrated.’ Because he sees himself as being superior to others, the readers perceive him as being arrogant and unworthy of any sort of emotion a reader may feel towards the character as of his manor and tone towards himself. Walton has had many other dreams, such as becoming a poet or a playwright have not worked out for him, therefore he makes sure this vision is a success.…

    Literature is an art form unlike any other, with a special ability to allow us to peer into the lives of others. In turn, we then are able to peer into the lives of these characters, revealing a more nuanced, complex portrait of human nature. The two books, Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison and Such a Long Journey by Rohinton Mistry both allow the reader to experience this complexity, by contrasting the characters reactions to the extraordinary and mundane events in their lives. By doing so, they both provide the same insight into human nature: the key to achieving one’s dreams is balance, and it is only by accepting the complexity of one’s own life, that one truly gets what they desire.…

    Robert Arneson was born in 1930 in the town of Benicia, California. Growing up, Robert’s father would encourage him to draw constantly. Robert would get most of his inspiration at this age from all the comics his father would read him. Robert would imagine himself in various hero-like roles in his drawings and even at this young age he was able to put together well thought out stories with his drawings. He continued to gain experience with drawing and was on the role to becoming a professional cartoonist by doing small cartoons for the sports section of the local weekly newspaper. After graduating high school he attended the College of Marin in Kentfield where he continued to produce cartoons for the newspaper. Here at the College of Marin he was finally introduced to his first ceramics class. He had never done anything with ceramics beforehand and as a result he received a low D grade. Lucky for him his professors enjoyed his talent with making cartoons and sent portfolios of his work to the San Francisco Art Institute and the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland.…

    Step by wicked step, my boots sank further and further into the thick, red-tinged land as if the devil himself were dragging my body straight into the depths of hell. The rhythmic squelching stabbed through my rubber soles, radiating pain throughout my soul as it seared everything in its path. Squelch, squelch, squish. My tempo was interrupted by those cursed boots refusing to budge from the stubborn terrain. As if taunting me, the earth unhooked my feet from the damned soil…

    Life is not only stranger than fiction, but frequently also more tragic than any tragedy ever conceived by the most fervid imagination. Often in these tragedies of life there is not one drop of blood to make us shudder, nor a single event to compel the tears into the eye. A man endowed with an intellect far above the average, impelled by a high-soaring ambition, untainted by any petty or ignoble passion, and guided by a character of sterling firmness and more than common purity, yet, with fatal illusion, devoting all…

    Throughout history, societies have depicted heroic figures, which embody certain universal qualities. Campbell’s conception of the hero’s journey is a profound application to all human beings not just legendary warriors. The Fisher King film begins by introducing Jack Lucas an arrogant radio talk show host who holds the world in his hands. As the film continues the song, “ Hit the road Jack, and don’t you come back no more” plays in the background. This song symbolizes the journey in which various mythological heroes have trekked. Through this hero’s journey Jack will meet archetypical characters that will help him attain…

    I had just arrived to my destination: Gallipoli, Turkey. As nervous as I was already with shivers down my spine nearly every minute I didn’t want to lose my young life tomorrow. It was a long ride but my troops and I were prepared for what could come our way. We jumped off the half sunken ship due to the enormous amount of soldiers. It was going to be a long and hard battle. The water we had to walk through to set up our camps was muddy and clumpy I was hoping I don’t get trench foot. Me, as the leader leaded on where we have to set up our camps. We set up our tents around the gruesome field of dead, yellow, sun dried grass next to the sandy rough hills. Rain had just started sprinkling and the next minute, hailing, it lit out our fire along with a deathlike thunderstorm. The dogs started howling under the glowing half-moon that gave us the only light left. I knew the next day only brought frightful visions of what will come to us tomorrow….…

    World War II had a profound effect on everyone who risked their lives for their country. The soldiers who were fortunate enough to make it out alive were often scarred for life and dealt with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Post-war America and the experiences that the soldiers suffered during WWII were so disconnected from each other that many veterans could no longer fit in with society. When America’s troops came home, the country had changed dramatically as it had developed into a consumerist society. In J.D Salinger’s “A Perfect Day for Bananafish,” Seymour Glass is a war veteran who is dealing with PTSD. His experiences in the war changed him forever, and he could no longer fit in with the consumerist America. Seymour Glass tells the story of the bananafish to a young girl named Sybil Carpenter. He says that “[bananafish] swim into a hole where there’s a lot of bananas. They’re very ordinary-looking fish when they swim in. But once they get in, they behave like pigs. Why, I’ve known some bananafish to swim into a banana hole and eat as many as seventy-eight bananas. Naturally, after that they’re so fat they can’t get out of the hole again” (p. 16). When Seymour Glass tells the story of the bananafish to young Sybil, he is actually describing his hatred for both the way the war changed him and how America changed while he was fighting for the country he used to know.…
