Donald Halls’ “A Hundred Thousand Straightened Nails” is a symbolic presentation of the decay of New Hampshire the author uses the life of Washington Woodward to show the pointless existence that is experienced in a place as lifeless as New Hampshire. He uses the contrast of his own opinion and the beliefs of Woodward to show how after a while it is impossible to escape a pointless mindset. Washington finds joy in discarded relics such as old nails, and wood, and finds simple joy in simple life. He settled on life, in his lifeless town and spent his life with his animals, his stories, his beliefs and his box of “A Hundred Thousand Straightened Nails.”(Hall)…

Belonging is a sense of enlightenment felt when an individual gains an understanding of themselves in relation to others and the wider world. This is just one idea presented about belonging, however there are many different ways to belong and there can be barriers that prevent people from belonging. These ideas of belonging are explored throughout the short story “Neighbours” by Tim Winton and Peter Skyzneckic’s “Immigrant Chronicles”. “Immigrant chronicles” is a collection of poems that demonstrates the hardships experienced by migrants as a result of dislocation, alienation, discrimination and prejudice. The “Immigrant Chronicles” demonstrate how there are a variety of ideas about belonging and how people can gain a sense of belonging through shared experiences, relationships with others, being accepted within a society, and through an understanding of different cultures.…

I believe Margaret Drabble’s statement, “Our desire to conform is greater than our respect for objective facts,” to be quite true. Throughout history, people of all ages have wanted to be accepted and belong to a group rather than look at the facts and measure what is true and false. It is very evident in our society today that not only do we want to be accepted and belong, but we also are willing to do whatever it takes, no matter what the consequences turn out to be. I agree with Drabble’s statement and believe that it is true all around the world. If you were to step outside our society and look back at it objectively, I can assure you that you would see evidence of this.…
In class I have studied two speculative fiction short stories. Speculative fiction is a story genre that puts ordinary people in extraordinary situations, asking the question “what if?” It also opens up disturbing questions about humanity and society. “Visiting the Millionaire” by George Anthony and “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury are both examples of spec-fiction because they both raise questions about humanity and society and the way that we treat other people. Another reason is that both these stories make predictions or speculate about the future and they ask the question “what if?”…
The first time I saw the movie, Edward Scissorhands, I was astonished. Tim Burton has always made outstanding and creative movies. This 1990 movie is 105 minutes long filled with romance, comedy, and dramatic events that will keep you intrigued. Tim Burton made a great choice of actors. For example, Johnny Depp creates a kind-hearted and shy character with hard work and a lot of practice. Johnny Depp shows his characters thoughts throughout the impeccable facial expressions.…
