Pink Floyd's Another Brick In The Wall
Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall” represents the absolute epitome of Romantic philosophies in both its lyrics and visual demonstration in the movie, The Wall. Romantics believe that society is responsible for all the corruption in each and every individual. Society spear heads countless unique personalities and identities through a single indifferent mould. In other words, society strips people from their true selves through trends, systems, and authority figures. Romantics argue that a person is born pure and innocent; however, when such innocence and individuality is presented to the world, society immediately corrupts its righteousness with unrelenting force. Consequently, turning what was once a lamb into a tiger that

The author does not outright identify and describe this unfortunate historical event but readers can use the imagery and symbols along with their historical knowledge to be able to determine that the author could be writing about a person in an internment or concentration camp.

    Outage by John Updike

    The weatherpersons on television, always eager for ratings-boosting disasters, had predicted a fierce autumn storm for New England, with driving rain and high winds. Brad Morris, who worked at home while his wife, Jane, managed a boutique on Boston’s Newbury Street, glanced out his windows now and then at the swaying trees—oaks still tenacious of their rusty leaves, maples letting go in gusts of gold and red—but was unimpressed by the hyped news event. Rain came down heavily a half hour at a time, then pulled back into a silvery sky of fast-moving, fuzzy-bottomed clouds. The worst seemed to be over, when, in midafternoon, his computer died under his eyes. The financial figures he had been painstakingly assembling swooned as a group, sucked into the dead blank screen like glittering water pulled down a drain. Around him, the house seemed to sigh, as all its lights and little engines, its computerized timers and indicators, simultaneously shut down. The sound of wind and rain lashing the trees outside infiltrated the silence. A beam creaked. A loose shutter banged. The drip from a plugged gutter tapped heavily, like a bully nagging for attention, on the wooden cover of a cellar-window well.…

    "You know what punk is? A bunch of no-talent guys who really, really want to be in a band. Nobody reads music, nobody plays the mandolin, and you're too dumb to write songs about mythology or Middle-earth. So what's your style? Three chords, cranked out fast and loud and distorted because your instruments are crap and you can't play them worth a damn. And you scream your lungs out to cover up the fact that you can't sing. It should suck, but here's the thing - it doesn't. Rock and roll can be so full of itself, but not this. It's simple and angry and raw." And you thought your life was complicated, welcome to the new world of Leo Caraway, straight laced student, a future student at Havard and for now an unsuspecting groupie for a punk rock band called the Purge. Let the fun begin.…

    Dystopian Society

    A world composed of dystopian elements, hope and dreams are shattered, bashed by the greater power of the antagonist. Such a place of melancholy is unheard of in the society of today because the human race has been fortunate as to steered off from making those bad, negative decisions. Americans live head up high, carefree of the problems of 3rd world nations and arrogant when it comes to the topic of superiority all because of how spoiled they have gotten throughout the ages. They live such an easy, simplistic lifestyle. But in the tales of both Wall-E and Fahrenheit 451, ignorance and oppression has seized their once brilliant world. Human misery has been engraved into each of their members starting at birth and everything has turned into a test of brute force with only the strong surviving. It is a "dog eat dog world." Even though they both face misery and limitations, many elements between these two worlds are different. Those being how their societies are treated by their head leaders and many others.…

    In this song the speaker has built up this wall to block him off and keep him alone. Pink Floyd says, “Hey you out there in the cold/ Getting lonely getting old/ Can you feel me?/ Hey you standing in the aisles/ With itchy feet and fading smiles/ Can you/ feel me?/ Hey you don't help them to bury the light/ Don't give in without a fight.” The speaker is trying to call out to different types of people, whether they are old and fading away, or just doing ordinary things. He does not want them to put up a wall like he did. He tells them not to hide away or “bury the light” because in the end they will regret it and seek…
