What is you're all time favorite movie and why? My all time favorite movie would be "Safe haven" it is not only a movie but a book also. It is about romance and drama and finding the real people who love and care about you.

A reason why you should watch the movie is if you have had issues with trusting people in the past it could show you that you're not the only one that goes through having trouble trusting people. The movie shows what true love is and shows you that you can trust and love someone again. You should give people
In Homeward Bound, Elaine Tyler May portrays the connection between foreign and political policy and the dynamics of American families during the post war and Cold War eras through the idea of containment. She argues that political containment bred domestic containment by tying together the widespread anticommunist views of the years following World War II with the ideal of American suburban domesticity.

Middlesex, by Jeffrey Eugenides, inner struggles are paralleled with each setting. Taking place in the twentieth century each setting plays a significant role in explaining a theme in the novel. Fleeing Greece in a time of war and entering Detroit Michigan as immigrants parallel later events to the next generation of kin fleeing Grosse Pointe Michigan to San Francisco.

Isolation refers to the “state of separation between persons or groups.” In 1984 and Fahrenheit 451, George Orwell and Ray Bradbury explore the idea of isolation in the futuristic world in which the novels are set as a warning to modern day society. The Inner Party uses several methods to assume almost complete control over their people. They want people to be cold and indifferent towards others, all while having fear slowly drilled into their minds. Isolation is something that the Inner Party wants to see. They want people to be isolated from one another so that the concept of “we” is completely eliminated. If everyone keeps to themselves, they cannot come together as one and possibly overthrow Big Brother, which is something that the Inner Party is afraid of.

Margaret Atwood, author of The Handmaid’s Tale, Suzanne Collins, author of Hunger Games, and Kurt Vonnegut, author of Slaughterhouse Five, wrote amazing novels about serious and powerful topics. Each of these books are considered dangerous in their own way, from promoting violence, profanity, sexual themes, anti-religion, to basically any other potentially offensive theme is provided in these novels. It is debatable to which one is the most dangerous and most criticizing to society but I believe Slaughterhouse Five is the most dangerous to society due to the evidence of being against free will, which can result in individuals pursuing negative actions.

Though the books are quite seemingly different, the central themes and Hawthorne's style are closely related (Carey, p. 62). American novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne is most famous for his books THE SCARLET LETTER and THE HOUSE OF THE SEVEN GABLES, which are closely related in theme, the use of symbolism, characterization, and style.
Two books so similar in their journey, and yet so far apart through the roads they take are, Night and The Hiding Place. In The Hiding Place, a book about the life of Cornelia ten Boom, and her journey from her average life to a life filled with pain that helps her discover her strong faith in God. In Night, Ellie Wiesel starts out having more faith in God then in himself, and after having to endure the death of his family, he loses all faith in God and religion. Corrie ten Boom was an adult, when the Gestapo came to Holland, and had much more taken away from her because she had lived more than Wiesel had. Cornelia was never the most fortunate woman in the world, but through her many misfortunes and strong faith she learned how to deal with the pain life presents one. The life journeys of Corrie ten Boom compared to Ellie Wiesel are one in some ways, but complete opposites in others.

In each of the two novels Brave new world by Aldous Huxley and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury this was displayed when each government created laws to control the public they didn’t go in guns blazing. The governments In Fahrenheit 451 and Brave new world put a ban on books limiting the knowledge the population could get, but equally each book also had similar characters in John from brave new world and Clarisse from Fahrenheit 451. Between the books Fahrenheit 451 and Brave new world, there are many differences but the similarities outweigh them.

“Revealing the truth is like lighting a match. It can bring light or it can set your world on fire” (Sydney Rogers). In other words revealing the truth hurts and it can either solve things or it can make them much worse. This quote relates to Fahrenheit 451 because Montag was hiding a huge book stash, and once he revealed it to his wife, Mildred everything went downhill. Our relationships are complete opposites. There are many differences between Fahrenheit 451 and our society, they just have a different way of seeing life.
