Rebecca's Happy In The Book Rebecca
All throughout the book Rebecca acts like she’s happy when you can clearly tell that she just wants to go back to New York. The song I have chosen is an upbeat sounding song whilst having not as happy lyrics and it is blatantly stated in the song alike the book, Rebecca states several times that she wants to go home but, nobody pays any attention to what she is

    In Aldous Huxley's Brave New World the actions of the conditioned characters in the novel serve to prove that the Brave New World itself would never attain it's goal of happiness. Within the first introduced “Utopian” society, there were various forms of conditioning (and lack there of). This caused a disturbance within the society itself, albeit it was a minor disturbance initially, later it grew into a bigger problem that caused a riff in the mechanical order of the civilization. Outside of the society stood another much different society where a young “savage” conditioned to follow Shakespearian ideals left an even bigger hole in the Brave New World. The various degrees of conditioning, the differences between the seemingly Utopian society and the savage society, and the issues raised from the characters interactions, presents the idea that without perfection, there cannot be happiness, without happiness, there cannot be stability, and without stability, there cannot be a Utopia. Conditioning individuals is only a proper form of control if the conditioned party are the same (in other words, no longer individuals) and no other ideas that contradict the conditioning are brought forth. If those conditions are not met, the “Utopia” will cease to exist as a Utopia, and will crumble as a society. Happiness cannot be obtained in a crumbling society.…

    In "Happy Endings", Margaret Atwood uses satire to mock the idea that happy endings actually exist. Atwood is trying to prove the point that the ending will always be the same, therefore it is not important. What is important is the quest to reach the end. That reason being because no matter how a person pursues their journey to the end (rich, poor, mansion home, trailer home) it will never change. Atwood tells the reader not to focus on the “who” and “what”, but to focus on the “how” and “why” (259). She portrays her satirical style by using empty adjectives, a tone of irony, and metaphors throughout her work.…

It is times like these that a devastating situation can really shed some light on how many things one is truly grateful for and can also put into perspective how well life really was. The theme of suffrage being a necessity to experiencing true joy is very apparent in Edmond Dantes’ character transformation throughout the plot.…

    The song that I chose is Caged Bird by Alicia Keys. Alicia Keys is singing about how she feels in reference to a caged bird.
