REALITY VS FANTASY What are the differences between Truman’s world and Christof’s world? Which one would you rather live in and why? Turman’s world was a reality tv show‚ a world full of lies- every person he met was an actor as for Christof’s world was the real world in which we live in today.

This pattern gives the poem a very whimsical feeling as if the reader is also lovesick. The receiver of the poem is clearly someone very meaningful to the persona‚ but has already “left.” It is unclear whether

of the stories he was telling us a lie? “Her name was Agnes‚ and she died of breast cancer when I was fourteen” (73). “When I was sixteen‚ my grandmother told me a story about World War II” (76). Was this all a lie or was the author trying to show that this man was really drunk and couldn’t remember everything from back then. Or proving his own point in the story when he said drunken natives were liars. I also was thinking that this man would spend mostly all of his earnings on things like lottery

Aeschylus’ tragedy‚ Prometheus Bound‚ is an interesting example of Aristotle’s tragedy because it encompasses a god’s own reversal leading to suffering brought upon his fellow gods. Prometheus Bound is the story of the god Prometheus and the events that follow after he disobeys the new ruler‚ Zeus‚ by granting gifts of survival‚ namely fire‚ to humankind. Catharsis is found in the play because the audience pities Prometheus for having to suffer for an act of kindness. Prometheus Bound combines hamartia
