    Dark Night of the Soul Summary

    The essay begins with the story of two distraught high scholars named Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.In this story Miller really shows us the power of imagination. The boys felt like they were left behind and couldn’t find a connection in their local high school. This feeling of being lonely drove them to the point of becoming violent. They got back at those people who they felt failed them by stepping into school one morning equipped with automatic guns. The boys went on a rampage. Miller also uses the example of Chris McCandless to further prove his point. McCandless threw away his life and went out on a journey to live by himself in the wilderness because of the stories he read. “Into the Wild” by Jon Krakauer, becomes his survival guide for his trip into the mountains of Alaska. McCandless shows the reader the power that the book had on his imagination. The trip was cut short due to McCandless’ over confidence in Krakauer’s experience in living in Alaska.…

    Gentlemen, Your Verdict 'And The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas'

    Every human being is raised in different environment, interacts with different group of people, and face distinctive challenges and opportunities. These experiences play a major role in shaping people’s perspective and values. Therefore, people hold different opinions and are prone to make unique decisions that may be contrasting from you and even the story. In “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas,” the Omela community is living a joyful life because of the sacrifice of the innocent boy. The people who are leaving the town feel guilty about their happiness and decide to protect the boy’s rights: “But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.” This clearly shows that the author advocates for the people who are leaving the town and are acknowledging their wrongdoings. The author values human rights and amendments more than her own individual happiness. However, for some people who rank happiness as their most important value, they will continue to ignore the existence of the boy and live in the town of Omelas. It is hard to blame the people who choose happiness, as it is their own values, but these polarizing viewpoints make the stories that contain moral decisions interesting. There is never a correct solution for…

    The daily scream therapy of my neighbour in the shower does not fail to act as an alarm clock every morning. This daily “alarm clock” was a good enough reason to not succumb into the pressure of calling the police. The rhythmic sound of everyone’s steps outside gave birth to the gravel, small as peas which moved beneath their feet and from it a faint dust rose, the perfume of the town. This perfume I had to get used to now, this perfume I will smell for the years to come. This foreign town was now my new home, away from all the sadness, unfulfilled relationships and the past, a town full of versatile people, some doctors, some painters, some chocolatiers and some farmers, all with big houses towering over them. A town still rich with bicycles and kids playing in the streets early in the morning, the streets filled with the aroma of bread this all felt very new to me, I was a city dweller, this made me feel great unease.…
