Dreaming the Future in Children of Men - Literature Essay Samples

Alfonso Cuarà ³n’s 2006 film ‘Children of Men’ is a text that explores the interplay of past, present and future on both personal and societal levels. Many characters in the film are obsessed with reiterating the past in an endless cycle of stagnation. In the case of Jasper’s character, this is limiting and pointless but can become dangerous and destructive, as in the case the British government who use nostalgia to maintain a level of control over a revolting populace and maintain the past at the expense of the future. In contrast, the fugitive characters who act in opposition to the government seem utterly destructive and disregard the ability of the past to inform and influence the future. They ultimately seem groundless and impotent rather than a genuine case of political activism. In the end, the film privileges the sacrificial characters who willingly choose to use their lives to further the cause of the human race as a whole, rather than maintain a comfortable status quo. The characters thus use their past to create a moment of presence wherein they are able to better mankind and enable the possibility of hope and future.The film continually raises issues of nostalgia in the face of a future-less present. Many characters throughout the film insist on holding onto antiquated habits and traditions as a reaction to the traumatic violence of the film. Ultimately, their attempts to hold onto the past are represented as at best circular and pointless and at best, dangerous and oppressive. This is because the future-less world of the film offers no space for development and change; everything becomes stagnant. This is perhaps most apparent in the British government who consistently reinforce the importance of the past and attempt to create security through a sense of historical solidarity. Through the various newsreels and advertisements depicted in the film, the government repeatedly refers to England’s national pride and his tory in an attempt to justify their actions. At one point, Theo witness a horse-mounted guard in full uniform parading down the city streets, contrasting sharply with the images of chaos and violence in the subsequent scene at the ‘Fish’ headquarters. The aim of this nostalgia is ultimately to preserve the past and maintain it when it is under threat of decay. The character of Jasper provides and interesting counterpoint to the government’s nostalgia. Jasper’s character is an amalgamation of various ‘hippy’ character tropes: his costuming, musical taste, political attitudes and penchant for psychotropic drugs are little more than clichà ©s. While both he and his wife were politically active in the past, at the time of film, Jasper seems to have little aim or motivation apart from caring for his catatonic wife and metaphorically for his nostalgic image. It is perhaps appropriate then, that most of the exhibition in the film is delivered throug h his character. The most iconic emblem of the film’s nostalgia, however, is perhaps The Human Ark project, which aims to locate and preserve culturally significant human achievements for some unstated purpose. Like Jasper and the government, The Human Ark project seems to have little motivation beyond preservation of what exists. When asked for an explanation of this apparently pointless project, Theo’s brother says, â€Å"I just don’t think about it.† In the end, these three entities all rely on this weak logic. Divested of their ability to change and develop, they revert to maintenance and preservation, usually to their detriment.In contrast, those entities which do seem to seek positive change are represented as being dangerous and violent. Activism is a recurring motif in the film. This aspect of the film is primarily explored through the Fishes, who advocate for the better treatment of fugitive immigrants (fugees), in Britain. In contrast to the nos talgia-envoking campaigns of the national government, the fugitives represent a homogenous instability. The group is ethnically diverse, containing members of various national and racial backgrounds and is initially controlled by a woman. While the government represents an adherence to the past in minute detail, the fugitives are primarily pastless subjects, without much exhibition given about the background or character of any Fish character. As a result, they seem devoid of a clear motivation both in terms of their political objectives and their handling of Kee’s pregnancy. That is, they are directed towards the future without consideration for a consolidating past. The actions of the Fishes serve as a counterpoint to Theo’s apathetic disaffection. Theo’s past serves the opposite function of the aforementioned nostalgia. Julian claims that he carried the memory of his deceased son Dylan â€Å"like a ball and chain† and that he considers himself to have â€Å"a monopoly on suffering†. His past paralyses him from developing any kind of future.This reflects more generally on the idea of conceiving a child in the setting of film. The cause of the infertility crisis is never directly explained. Theo is of the opinion that infertility crisis was and remains incidental to the state of the world. The film opens with a series of voice-overs by a newsreader: â€Å"Day 1,000 of the Siege of Seattle.The Muslim community demands an end to the Armys occupation of mosques.The Homeland Security bill is ratified. After eight years, British borders will remain closed. The deportation of illegal immigrants will continue. Good morning. Our lead story. Here, the film explicitly connections the action of the film to contemporary political issues: Islamic culture’s interaction with the West, questions of national security and personal liberty, fugitive immigrants. At one point a radio announcer introduces a ‘classic’ song fr om 2004, â€Å"a time when people refused to accept that the future was just around the corner†. The film deliberately indexes the trauma of the film’s present with the actions of the film’s past; that is, contemporary politics. If we as the audience are to accept Theo’s suggest that the infertility crisis was not the cause of global decline, it is perhaps inferred that the causal relationship can be reversed. That is, it is possible that the infertility crisis in a cause of global decline. In a literal sense, it is speculated that the crisis has come about due to some human failing: genetic manipulation gone awry, a world-wide contagion or something similar. Metaphorically, if the children of the world represent a hope for the future, than it seems appropriate that a world with a questionable future such as that presented in the film should be divested of its symbol. In other words, the film might be implicitly positing that the childbirth in the world o f the film as it is would be a pointless exercise, since human civilization is collapsing upon itself anyway.The film also seems to depict a fascination with the cultural significance of death, with many characters dying or philosophizing about death over the course of the film. Heidegger suggests that human life is given meaning as a consequence of mortality – the very finity of life grants dignity to what would otherwise be a trivial and existential life.# The philosophy of the film seems to be offering a re-reading of Heidegger. While human death can bestow dignity and imbue the human existence with a meaning it would not otherwise possess, this can only be true in the case of a death that progresses the present towards a future. The character of Jasper, for example while generally caught up in regressive nostalgia is able to work towards the future through his death. When he realizes that Kee’s child is â€Å"the miracle the world has been waiting for†, he w illing sacrifices himself to allow her the chance to escape. His euthanisation of his catatonic wife becomes a symbolic gesture of his willingness to forsake the past. Similarly, Julian’s activism becomes vindicated by her willingness to sacrifice herself for the future of humanity. When she is shot, she is not concerned with her own safety but is instead looking backwards towards Kee and placing the child’s safety above her own. It is perhaps appropriate therefore that her makeshift funeral is accompanied by the chanting of â€Å"shanti, shanti, shanti† – meaning, ‘hope’. Of course, the overarching narrative thrust of the film progresses towards Theo’s sacrifice on the behalf of Kee and her child. In the end, he is able to overcome his apathy and sacrifice himself for the good of humanity as a whole.The infant then, acts both literally as a source of hope for humanity as well as a metaphor for the idea of hope. This is reinforced by t he film’s use of religious symbolism with reference to Kee and her child. When asked about the father of her child, Kee jokingly compares herself to the Madonna – â€Å"I’m a virgin!†. Moreover, when confronted with Kee’s unexpected pregnancy, characters in the film almost always react by exclaiming, â€Å"Jesus Christ† or by making the sign of the cross. In fact, the narrative of the film acts as a parallel to the biblical story of Mary and Joseph and their journey to Bethlehem – all the more appropriate considering the film’s release date in the US falling on December 25th. In spite of the rather heavy-handed use of religious metaphor, the film’s use of these symbols is ultimately ironic and playful rather than dogmatic. Kee’s comparison to the Virgin is immediately followed by exclamations of her sexual promiscuity, fear of venereal disease and consideration of abortion – ideas that seem completely inco ngruous with a traditional understanding of the Christian faith.However, like the Kee’s child, for the greater part of the film, hope remains nascent. It is always the potential for hope rather than unequivocal redemption. There are many possibilities considered for the child. As previously mentioned, Kee considered aborting the child – an attempt to preserve the present and deny the possibility for an alternative future. Moreover, the child is also grants political power to any party that controls her. The Fishes want to use the child as an emblem of the ‘fugee’ cause and to unify the disparate subversive movements in England. It is also suggested that the government would abduct the child and claim she was the child of English citizens, presumably in order to reinforce English superiority over the fugitive groups. At the end of the film, the child progresses towards tomorrow. In a literal sense, she boards the boat, â€Å"Tomorrow† in order to esc ape to the Human Project and metaphorically, the safety of the child acts as a promise of hope to restore the human race. The child is not only born but removed from the violence and political strife of England. Moreover, Kee’s choice to name the child Dylan grants the child a connection with the past that both embraces what has come before and refigures it into a new and promising future.In summation, the film ‘Children of Men’ is one concerned with the use of the present as an intersection of past and future. The film destabilises the distinction between the two and denies agencies to those characters that privilege one over the other. Those characters that cling to the past are shown to be ineffectual and stagnant at best while the most extreme manifestation of this attitude in the British government is oppressive and violent. Similarly, those characters who think only about the future are ultimately unable to affect change because of their groundless philosop hical starting point. Ultimately, it is those characters like Theo and Julian who are able to use their past as a sacrifice to benefit the human races as a whole that are vindicated as the past becomes refigured in the present to meet the demands of the future.BIBLIOGRAPHYCuarà ³n, A.

Essay about John Miltons Paradise Lost as Christian Epic

Paradise Lost as Christian Epic John Miltons great epic poem, Paradise Lost, was written between the 1640s and 1665 in England, at a time of rapid change in the western world. Milton, a Puritan, clung to traditional Christian beliefs throughout his epic, but he also combined signs of the changing modern era with ancient epic style to craft a masterpiece. He chose as the subject of his great work the fall of man, from Genesis, which was a very popular story to discuss and retell at the time. His whole life had led up to the completion of this greatest work; he put over twenty years of time and almost as many years of study and travel to build a timeless classic. The success of his poem lies in the fact that he skillfully combined†¦show more content†¦Yet, at the same time, it also reflects one classic aspect of the epic; it is a love story within an adventure. Through this, Milton begins to reconcile strict Puritanism with a genre of literature that was created, strangely enough, by pagans. Milton also uses war, a very powerful and ever-present device of the epic, to chart the story of the creation and downfall of Adam and Eve. Very vibrantly, he describes the fight between Satans fallen angels and the angels of God in Heaven, culminating in the fall of Satan and his followers over Heavens wall. Books V and VI describe this battle, through the words of the angel Raphael. It is at this point that the intended hero of the story begins to emerge, revealing the true Puritan intentions of the epic. After a lengthy battle, it is finally the Son who, using only half of his power so as not to destroy Satan and his followers, drives the rebels from Heaven. Through the description of the war, which is charted in a very epic style, Milton reveals his hero to be the Son, the just and powerful warrior. Milton also chronicles Satans descent into Hell, using the classic epic convention of chronicling a single characters solitary and trouble-plagued voyage. He also lists and catalogues a number of warriors, also reflecting a clear sense of the epic. In Beowulf, the Illiad and the Odyssey, warriors are all listed as they are in Paradise Lost.

Personal Narrative My Journey to Success Essay Example For Students

Personal Narrative My Journey to Success Essay The great Vince Lombardi once said, Its not whether you get knocked down; its whether you get up. Well, our team suffered defeat; and we were either going to feel sorry for ourselves, or we were going to man up and get back up. Our team, as well as me, learned a lot about ourselves that day that have stuck with us. In 2008, our baseball team, the Bayou Bombers, set foot on a mission. Our group of thirteen boys and four coaches traveled to Cooperstown, New York, to play in a baseball tournament of one hundred teams. Our team was the only Louisiana team playing in this tournament; however, we were the clear favorite to win it because of our talented players. Tournament announcers said things like, This team should have no problem winning the tournament   and This team is stacked with talent.   As a twelve-year-old adolescent, these words intimidated me. I felt like there was a huge knot in my stomach and was going to throw up. These words filled me with nervousness and pressure that I never thought of until our coach told us what the announcers were saying about our talented team. Then, our coach told us that we should block out all the distractions and play the same game that we have played our whole lives. The words just have fun   from our coach lightened up the mood of the team and eased our minds, and we were ready to destroy any team that walked in our way of the championship. August 1st, 2008, finally came around; and the Bayou Bombers boarded the plane for a direct flight to Cooperstown, New York. As we departed the plane, all of our families waited for us to wish us the best of luck in the tournament. This also lightened the mood up for some of us because our parents told us that no matter what happens out there, they were still going to be proud of us. As a young twelve-year-old, those words encouraged me to just play and have fun out there, no matter the outcome. After we left the airport, we finally arrived to our room where the whole team stayed. The room reeked of wet, dirty socks, while the smell of mildew lingered throughout the bathroom. However, it did not matter because our team knew we were here to win and not for vacation. We settled in, unpacked all our belongings, and prepared to go to sleep. We knew that it was going to be a long week. The night passed, and I can clearly remember the 7:00 a. m. sirens going off. The loud, piercing sound just about woke up the entire city of New York. After the two minutes of obnoxious sirens, our team got dressed in the bright, red Cooperstown shirt that the host handed out to us. Finally, it was game time, and we were about to face our first opponent. We arrived to the damp, fog-filled field anxious to face our opponent. The field was a marvelous sight but did not compare to the Championship Field. Each field contained a dark green, fifteen-foot wall that contrasted well with the bright green grass. The light brown dirt was spread even throughout the infield, while the white, chalky lines separated fair and foul play. The smell of cut grass and buttery popcorn covered the field. It was also very humid; droplets of water covered the bodies of all the players. Being the number one seed in the tournament, we faced the number one hundred seed, which was West Michigan Elite. We defeated them 17-2 while defeating the next four opponents as well. .ue70f9d01e1cf738f4d193a74c4d33b11 , .ue70f9d01e1cf738f4d193a74c4d33b11 .postImageUrl , .ue70f9d01e1cf738f4d193a74c4d33b11 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .ue70f9d01e1cf738f4d193a74c4d33b11 , .ue70f9d01e1cf738f4d193a74c4d33b11:hover , .ue70f9d01e1cf738f4d193a74c4d33b11:visited , .ue70f9d01e1cf738f4d193a74c4d33b11:active { border:0!important; } .ue70f9d01e1cf738f4d193a74c4d33b11 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .ue70f9d01e1cf738f4d193a74c4d33b11 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .ue70f9d01e1cf738f4d193a74c4d33b11:active , .ue70f9d01e1cf738f4d193a74c4d33b11:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .ue70f9d01e1cf738f4d193a74c4d33b11 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .ue70f9d01e1cf738f4d193a74c4d33b11 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .ue70f9d01e1cf738f4d193a74c4d33b11 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .ue70f9d01e1cf738f4d193a74c4d33b11 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .ue70f9d01e1cf738f4d193a74c4d33b11:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .ue70f9d01e1cf738f4d193a74c4d33b11 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .ue70f9d01e1cf738f4d193a74c4d33b11 .ue70f9d01e1cf738f4d193a74c4d33b11-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .ue70f9d01e1cf738f4d193a74c4d33b11:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: The Odyssey Argumentative EssayWe were all so pleased with the way we had been playing. However, things took a turn for the worst. During the final day of regular play, our team went into the game thinking that we were going to breeze by without any problems. Why wouldnt we think that? We just about destroyed every other team that we faced. However, we suffered our first loss, which dropped our seeding down. Not only did this affect us physically but also mentally. Physically, it hurt our seeding which meant that the path to the championship was going to be a lot tougher. On the other hand, our team was devastated. We had not lost a game all tournament, and we finally lost on the last regular game. We were crushed, saddened, distraught, etc. It was not until that night in which our coach delivered a message to us that changed our mindsets. The team and coaches gathered inside our small, dreary room. He delivered us the Vince Lombardi quote in a passionate way. He stared at each individual in that room with his big, dark brown eyes to make sure that we understood what he was saying. As he was delivering the message to get back up and fight through the troubles, tears, like those of gushing waterfalls, streamed down his cheeks. Our team had never seen our coach cry before, and we knew that we had to have a short memory and forget about the loss. After a few moments, he then said, Guys, play for your teammates. Play for each other and not for the number on your back. Do it for each other. But most importantly, just have fun out there and play your hearts out. It will all work itself out in the end. After hearing this, my body trembled with the chills as goose-bumps covered my body from head to toe. A strange, burning passion filled me, almost as if my insides were on fire. I, as well as my teammates, was ready again for any team who strayed in our path. We refused to lose and even came up with a saying that we started to say before every game. Before we sprinted onto the field, one person would say, Cant be beat   while the rest of the team followed with Wont be beat.   It was settled; we were not going to lose another game from then on. Playoffs started, and there was not a team more ready and prepared than we were. We were like angry lions that wanted revenge, and we were not going to stop ripping away until it was all over. Our once attitudes of crush and defeat were vanished. Instead, we developed a never give up   and fight til the end   attitude. We cruised by every game that we played in, and we were finally in the championship game. We knew what had to be done, and we were going to finish our business. On August 7, 2008, history was made for the Bayou Bombers. Upon arriving at the championship field, also known as The Dream Field, we were completely shocked and amazed with the features. The moment was so surreal. I can remember standing on the white, chalky foul line staring out at the thousands of fans surrounding the stadium. The bright lights gleamed on the freshly cut, green grass. Mountains surrounded the outer edges of the stadium. As we stood on the foul line for the National Anthem, three jets darted across the field. Shortly after, red, white, and blue fireworks exploded into the background of the mountains. A light drizzle sprinkled over the stadium, which made the grass glisten even more. Chills permeated through my body causing every single hair on my body to stick up. The moment was so picture perfect that it was almost like it was written for a script in a movie. I was in a daze that I never wanted to wake up from. It was truly a memorable feeling. Once I snapped out of the daze, it was time to play ball. The opponents on the other side of the foul line, the Katy Patriots from Texas, did not know what was coming at them. Wasting no time in the first inning, one of our players belted a two-run homerun to take the lead. .u033ddb373d27bfc6960619e3663bf6fe , .u033ddb373d27bfc6960619e3663bf6fe .postImageUrl , .u033ddb373d27bfc6960619e3663bf6fe .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u033ddb373d27bfc6960619e3663bf6fe , .u033ddb373d27bfc6960619e3663bf6fe:hover , .u033ddb373d27bfc6960619e3663bf6fe:visited , .u033ddb373d27bfc6960619e3663bf6fe:active { border:0!important; } .u033ddb373d27bfc6960619e3663bf6fe .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u033ddb373d27bfc6960619e3663bf6fe { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u033ddb373d27bfc6960619e3663bf6fe:active , .u033ddb373d27bfc6960619e3663bf6fe:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u033ddb373d27bfc6960619e3663bf6fe .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u033ddb373d27bfc6960619e3663bf6fe .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u033ddb373d27bfc6960619e3663bf6fe .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u033ddb373d27bfc6960619e3663bf6fe .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u033ddb373d27bfc6960619e3663bf6fe:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u033ddb373d27bfc6960619e3663bf6fe .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u033ddb373d27bfc6960619e3663bf6fe .u033ddb373d27bfc6960619e3663bf6fe-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u033ddb373d27bfc6960619e3663bf6fe:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Physical Punishment EssayTwo innings later, the same player once again ripped another two-run homerun to make the score 4-0. In the bottom of the sixth inning with two outs and one last Katy Patriot batter up at the plate, our pitcher threw him a diving curveball that missed his bat, thus, ending the game. The crowd erupted with clapping, shouting, and even tears from our parents. I threw my glove as high as I could and sprinted to dog-pile on the pitchers mound. The rest of the players sprinted towards the dog-pile and leaped on top of each other. Although we almost killed each other by not being able to breathe in the dog-pile, we were ecstatic nonetheless and proud of ourselves. Our team lined up once again on the white, chalky foul line to receive our trophies and congratulations. Right before our team departed the field to go back to our room, I stared at the field once more for the last time. I can still imagine the light drizzle coming down across the scoreboard that read 4-0. I just stood there and took a moment. It finally hit me that we won it all and that we fought and battled through the adversity of ourselves and of others. This experience has taught me a lot about myself as an individual. I have learned, with the help of my teammates and coaches, that every human being is going to be knocked down or fail at one moment in their life. Success is about failing and getting back up and fighting harder. Every time an individual is knocked down, he has to work ten times harder to get back up; and that is where success happens. Ralph Waldo Emerson says it perfectly when he says that, Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.
