    Dumpster Diving by Lars Eighner

    “Between us are the rat-race millions who have confounded their selves with the objects they grasp..” (Page 119). A quote from Lars Eighner’s nonfiction informative essay of “On Dumpster Diving”. Here Eighner is simply stating how society now mainly relies on materialistic objects, and how they’ve confused themselves by these materialistic objects.

Eighner is basically telling us that even though these objects may be important in some way, they aren’t what we need in life, and that the real meaning in these objects, if there are any, should be sentimental values, such as memories.…

    Psychoanalysis of How the Grinch Stole Christmas

    In Dr. Seuss' “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” a bitter, cave dwelling creature with a heart “two sizes too small,” (Seuss) lives on the top of a snowy mountain on the outskirts of Whoville. His only friend is his dog Max. From his perch high atop Mount Crumpit, the Grinch can hear the noisy Christmas festivities that take place in Whoville. Annoyed and unable to understand the Whos' happiness, he makes plans to descend on the town and deprive them of their Christmas presents, Roast Beast, Who-hash and decorations and thus prevent Christmas from coming. However, he learns in the end that despite his success in taking away all the Christmas presents and decorations from the Whos, Christmas comes just the same. He then realizes that Christmas is more than just gifts and presents. Touched by this, his heart grows three sizes larger; he returns all the presents and trimmings and is warmly welcomed into the community of the Whos. Throughout the children's story, there are numerous examples of Freud's psychoanalytic theory. The different examples of psychoanalysis that appear in the children's story include death instincts, projection, an oral aggressive (sadistic) personality, and the id.…
