2) “I never think of the future-it comes soon enough.”-Albert Einstein

This quote portrays that you shouldn’t worry about the future because it’s going to happen anyways, and you shouldn’t spend your whole life worried about it. My grandpa used to say to me, that “Tomorrow will never come”, or he would provoke that, “Yesterday was the past, tomorrow's a mystery, so don’t worry about it.” It’s best to keep your mind on the present instead of worrying about tomorrow. The future is going to happen either way. If you force yourself to worry about the future, you’re going to miss all the wonderful things the present has to

    Mustapha Mond's Analysis

    This saying, quoted by Mustapha Mond, instructs his citizens to disregard the painful lessons of history and to ignore the past in order to focus on future progress. Society disregards history because if people understood what came before, they might not less willing to put their trust in science and progress. History is "bunk," as Mond says, because it revolves around human frailties and emotions such as love, anger, vengeance, and temptation. Such things are no longer part of the human experience and, according to Mond, have no place in a society built around maximizing…

    dialectical journal

    This quote is about living in the present, not focusing too much on the past or the future. I often struggle with being content in the moment, and I am always looking forward to my next goal, next trip, next adventure. I want to be more present in the moment, noticing the little things like the life in the desert or the stars in the sky, as this quote says. I want to be able to be present as a teacher, appreciating the little ways I am inspired by what my students do, say, and write. I want to be able to appreciate and acknowledge the little acts of empathy, compassion, and kindness I witness in my students, rather than just look forward to summer vacation.…

    The Brothers K

    This quote represents the generational gap as it dwindles into nothingness. Age has become such an important factor for anyone in this era. Few realize, though, that every generation is nearly the same. The only difference between any two generations is technology. All generations are plagued by the same problems and all hope that their children won’t face the same hardships. That is a case, which will never happen.…

    Use Of Figurative Language In Self-Reliance By Ralph Waldo Emerson

    In the text it says “Laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future.” Emerson describes people showing grief for their past but lacks concern for the beauty surrounding them. Instead of focusing in the present, they fret about their future, a future that is a long way away. A weak author would have referenced the idea, but not in the manner Emerson did. The language he used makes his argument stronger and informs the reader about the way society is living. I believe Emerson established this sentence, so readers can realize how society is living. We aren’t living to our full potential because we are either regretting the past or anticipating the future. Emerson is trying to bring attention to the situation because it affects the manner in which we view and live our…

    Walk Two Moons Analysis

    Why do people spend time worrying about things in the past, when they have so much future ahead of them? In the award winning novel, Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech, a mysterious note is dropped off on the Winterbottom’s front porch: “In the course of a lifetime, what does is matter?” Through this metaphor, this message is trying to reveal to people that they should not fret the things in life that won’t matter in a few days, months, or the course of a lifetime. Even thinking about events that occurred in the past, waste time in the present and future. Ultimately, this theme has a significant relation to several characters in the novel and the world at large.…

    The Connection between Rachel Carson's A Fable for Tomorrow, Thoreau's Walden, and Emerson's Nature

    Time is such an essential concept in today's world, yet the source from which its importance arose has given birth to its misuse. How do we really use this short amount of time that has been provided to us on earth? The modern world has shaped our way of life, which is highly criticized by many thinkers. In her essay "A Fable for Tomorrow", Rachel Carson describes the effects of "man's attempt to control nature" on our planet and on our future. Two prolific transcendentalists, who flourished decades before Carson, would not be surprised by the most shocking statements made in her essay. Thoreau's "Walden" and Emerson's "Nature" brilliantly and unknowingly foreshadow the "fable for tomorrow".…

    Ellen Degeneres 'Seriously I' M Kidding

    In Ellen Degeneres’ novel, “Seriously I’m Kidding” I had realized that many of people’s view on life does not change the connections of various lessons or morals that they may connect to themselves. On account of living in a world that consists of billions and billions of individuals we also observe how this leads to various understandings on how they live their own lives. To put it another way, some individuals may think of life in the present time and be occupied with their current surroundings. And yet other people may look to what the future might be like for them in the long run. Certainly individuals are not limited to thinking only one way or the other. For instance, I usually like to think about life in the current moment but since…
