Falling back into your “default setting” ensures that people will always worry about themselves over everyone else, which will enable this pattern of selfishness in the world to continue. This is the contributing factor to the fundamental downfall of today’s…

Throughout the book, the main character, Edna Pontellier, experiences various awakenings in different ways; she has an awakening of herself as an artist when she tries to paint, a realisation that she can appreciate music, a realisation of what love is, along with realisations of who she is and how unfulfilling her life is. Edna also experiences freedom for the first time; she comprehends deeper understanding of how she is her own person and how she is not bound by other people’s expectations. These understandings are awakenings to Edna, who seems to have lived much of her life without more poignant thought or defiance. Chopin uses this proliferation of…

The dictionary definition of freedom is The state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint. But what is true freedom. In The American National Anthem, it claims that America is the “land of the free”, but what does that legitimately means. When you think of freedom, you think of the idea of being free,but that's not the case. If we are free, why do we have a government that watches our every move we compose on the internet. If we are free, why do we pay so many taxes and bills. If we are free, why do we have a lot of ridiculous laws that we have to follow every day. The point is that we are not actually free. Yes, we do have more freedom than other parts of the world, but we don’t have total freedom.…
His intent is to give his brothers “the greatest gift given to men. We shall tell them the truth” (67). Equality believes that by giving his light of knowledge to society, he would finally be able to repay them for all of his transgressions, and be able to invent more. However, his invention is not received well, as the Council believed that anything done alone was contemptible, and since Equality has done the work of others rather than focusing on his job, the box should be destroyed and Equality thrown in jail. He manages to escape with the power, running off into the Uncharted Forest without initially thinking. After his escape, Equality realizes that he was “one of the Damned” and it would be best for Liberty to “forget our name and the body which bore that name” (77).

The two set off together, finally free of the oppressive regime of ‘we’ set upon their shoulders, to start a new world, “our own world . . . a strange unknown world, but our own”…
