The philosophy of existentialism‚ and one of its greatest philosophers Jean Paul Sartre‚ were the motivation and inspiration to the arts and humanities during the 1940’s and 1950’s.

Ralph Emerson‚ author of “Self-Reliance”‚ regards a person’s growth normally as a process of abandoning one’s spirit of nonconformity or moral tendency . Society is considered to have a pessimistic effect on the growth of each individual’s soul‚ whereas confinement may contribute to it as well. Whichever the case may be‚ the individual is trapped either by bigotry‚ from power‚ or low self-esteem‚ from group-think. Senseless philanthropy‚ which encourages dependence on outside help‚ is thus also thought

In the early 1900’s‚ writers like Ralph Ellison‚ Philip Roth and N .Scott Momaday‚ began experimenting with different styles of literary writings. The expressions and different art forms had a great influence on the way authors wrote. Times were changing and people of color wanted to be noticed‚ recognized and had some things that they wanted to say.

Unfortunately‚ this has not always been the view of society‚ especially during times of slavery; whites saw themselves superior to blacks‚ and saw nothing wrong with it.

Character Sketch: Ralph In the novel “Lord of the flies” by William Golding the main conflict is between ‘civilization’ and ‘savagery’. Therefore the character Ralph is another significant example‚ because he represents the human instinct. ` Ralph is a twelve-year-old English boy and the novel’s protagonist.

Walden and Romanticism Living a life where you are worried about nothing but the moment you are in‚ nothing but your needs to survive. But every minute is spent in pure happiness. You spend your days doing nothing but what your heart tells you. This was one of many of the ideas that authors including Henry David Thoreau prized during the Romantic Movement.
