In the book Unbroken, which I read shortly after it was released, Hillenbrand chronicles Zamperini’s epic and, at times, terrifying odyssey. Raised in California, he was the son of Italian immigrants.…

    The Notebook

    The Notebook is one of my favorite love movies of all time. The reason I love this movie so much is because that main characters Noah and Allie go through so many trials and finally end up together in the end. This movie I feel shows me how strong their love for each other really was and I now feel as if it is meant to be it will always find a way. Looking at the movie as a reference to get a better understanding of how lifespan development works, I realized that most of the trials that Noah and Allie went though were part of stages of development. The theory of stages of development was created by Erik Erikson, he believes that we go though certain stages in our life and if we do not get passed them properly we will end up with underdeveloped skills in our lives. The Notebook has many different stages that the main characters go though such as, stage eight, integrity vs. despair, stage five, identity vs. identity confusion, and stage six, intimacy vs. isolation.…

    1984 by George Orwell is a novel about a man, Winston Smith, living in a dystopian, totalitarian government. The book circulates around the negative ideal of a harsh government strictly controlling the people of a society. 1984 shares some unique similarities as well as differs greatly from actual life that many English lived during the 80’s, even though the book was written nearly 40 years prior and was not looking at a realistic interpretation of what the world would be like. Orwell had a specific idea his book would flow around; Humans cannot be completely controlled by government. But as we near the end of the book, it becomes clearer that in extremely harsh circumstances, one can be fully controlled when faced with fear.…
