Although rules of society have been changing since the Victorian era, one thing has still remained and that is praise that the common people have for the rich. Charlotte Bronte’s was able to give an accurate depiction of the rich getting all the respect, in her novel Jane Eyre. Jane Eyre who is a poor young girl is constantly treated like an animal just because she was not of status. In the very first chapter a couple of pages into the story, Jane and her cousin had an altercation. He was angry because she was reading one of the books in his house: “You have no business to take our books, you are dependant… you have not money; you father left you none; you ought to beg” (10). Simply because she did not have money that gave her cousin and society card blanch to make life’s a living hell. Also the maids at Mrs. Reed’s house praise her haughty children. Jane was much better than Mrs. Reed's kid. This shows that some people only praise people based on their money not their merits. In today’s society has an obsession with celebrities. Gossip magazines and television show are cashing with public’s fascination with rich celebrities. Just like today people in the Victorian era the rich were praised and loved for doing absolutely nothing.

What is it wroth of conquering the world if you have no one to share it with? Well the answer is plain and simple, nothing. You may have all the money, fame, and power in the world and feel incomplete. Because it is not wroth anything unless you have someone to share it with. In both the movie Into the Wild and the book Frankenstein the audience is presented with two characters grappling with their restlessness. The men’s solution to their problem was to give up on society and submerge themselves in what they think will satisfy their hunger. Christopher McCandless became fed up with society and sought a metaphysical connect with nature. This was an important experience for him because it changed his life but also robbed him of his happiness. Taking time to find yourself is one of the best things that a person can for themselves. Nonetheless they have to be careful not to lose yourself in the process. Chris lost himself and ultimately ended up unhappy. In the first clip when he was in the ocean and he felt powerful, the moment was magical because it was being shared with someone else: “Happiness is only really when it is shared”. In the last scene of the movie was not a heartbreaking because he was dying but because he was alone. Christopher seemed to not have learned one of the most overused phrases of all time; it is not the destination that matters but the journey. He was so convinced that his happiness was in Alaska that he overlooked what brought really joy. It was his journey and the great people he met that brought him happiness not Alaska.
Victor Frankenstein was making the same mistake as Christopher McCandless. Victor feed his restlessness with knowledge. It was like he always had to be obsessing about something. It started with philosophy and natural law and went on to science and his monster. He was absolutely miserable locking yourself up in the hope to accomplish the greatest deed is dangerous because unfortunately we need other to be happy. People can reach a level of happiness on our own but no one will be completely happy with having at least someone around to share it with.

It is evident that women had to constantly fight to earn some of the basic human rights. It also true that the status of women now is much better than one hundred years ago. One of the things that constantly coming up in the stories read so far is the role of women. I believe literature is a reflection of society. When writing a novel for an author use what he seen around him as inspiration for his stories, and if women were not empowered that what they are going to portray. Chaucer was not a women hater, he simply portrayed Emily as any other women of that time. Also, for a change Chaucer had the Amazon women who lived on their own and were completely independent of men, and that was rare for literature of the that time period. Chaucer was only reflecting society in his literary works. Also book written in the twenty first century describe women differently than he did in the Middle English era. As time change character change also.

A perfect/working society needs balance. When creating my society this was the first thing I thought about. To make that happen I choose five roles that I thought that a working society would need. These roles were parent, entertainment, medical services/ healer, scientist, and bad ass. I selected people that epitomize these roles. The person that exemplified the role of a parent was Angelina Jolie. She adopted many children from impoverish countries and had some of her own. She is a mother, care taker, and humanitarian so she was the perfect mother figure for my society. During the trade Angelina Jolie was traded for Gandhi. I decided that Gandhi was an amazing addition to my society because he was a great leader, father figure, teacher he was the perfect example of a good citizen and a care taker. For my entertainment I chose Chris Rock because he is a comedian and an actor. As for the healer/ someone in the medical services I picked the Regina Benjamin who is the 18th Surgeon General of the United States she is women who worked hard all her life and was nominated by the president in that position. Albert Einstein was the perfect scientist but he was traded for Mr. George. I did this because I feel like Einstein is not the type of person who relate well to others and also Tru was dying to have Einstein. Mr. George will be a great teacher, leader, and bad ass in my society. When I was choosing someone to be the bad ass of my society Pink was the first person that came to my mind. She is fearless woman who will not let anyone bring her down. Nonetheless, I traded Pink for Lara Croft who represented protection in my society because she possessed strong skills in combat and weaponry. My society lacks law enforcement, Lara Croft will be the perfect person to look out for the other member of the society.

What makes a working society is balance. Society will never be perfect no matter how hard we try. Society cannot be perfect but it can certainly reach a state equilibrium. That is what I tried to do when I chose that five role of my working society. Society should not be all funs and games nor should it be all seriousness. It should be a mixture of both, and a fair representation of the roles that emerges in almost all of the societies. That is why the five roles I felt were necessary in my society are parent, artist, medical services/ healer, scientist, and bad ass. The roles I chose cover all aspect of what a society need. The roles are well picked because they will be their from generation to generation. They are common role. They are good in the way that they make it easy to build a new generation.

Rules to Successfully Court

• Then try to get in contact with them. It is best if you can talk to them, and try to get to know them better. This stage is usually the flirting stage, it is a vital period because it is the time for you show the person your good qualities, and also find things out about them.
• During your conversations try to assess if they too have the same attraction toward.
• Evaluate what their personality and how it complements yours.

• When you are sure that this person is the right one, and are sure that they like you ask them out on a date.
• If they reject you, it is acceptable to ask one more times but not right away; but if they do not give a valid reason for rejecting you, do not waste your time because chances are they do not like you.
• If they accept, dates are important because it is the deciding factor of what happens next. It would be best for the first date to be interactive, avoid movies because you are not getting to know someone by setting in dark theater.
• It is important to not move to fast or to slow. Do not go for the kiss on the first date but do not wait until the tenth. Because you have to keep your date interested if you move to fast they might get overwhelmed and leave because it is to much for them to handle. Nonetheless, if you make them wait forever they might loses all interest in you.
• After a fair amount of dates, discussing the next step with your significant other would be great. Find out if they want to bring the relationship to the next level. Being in a committed relationship is a lot of work. Also you have to be sure that it is what you want.
• If you think they are the right person and both of you want the same thing ask them to be your boyfriend or girlfriend.

Beowulf/ Invictus

When reading Invictus by William Henley one can draw many similarities to the epic poem Beowulf. One the most poignant resemblance between these two poems is the emotional strength these characters demonstrate. In Invictus the character is not formally presented to the audience but his struggles and journey are briefly touched upon. One of the most powerful things the characters posses is their belief in themselves. Although to some this may frown upon but one must realize how useful this is to the characters, especially Beowulf. One may think that Beowulf is a pompous and self absorb man but if he does not belief in himself who will. If Beowulf had the physical strength to fight Grendel’s mother but was scared of her that would not be good for anyone. Also it is not easy to anyone to go and face their death and freely accept the consequences. Another thing that connects these two poems is the fact that they had to overcome adversity: “In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud…My head is bloody, but unbowed” (Henley 5-9). From this very line this one can see that he a character with many struggles but one that is untouched. One can say the same about Beowulf; he faced many problems but also has his strength and God to fall back on. In the mist of adversary Beowulf rely on God which shows his strong belief in God almighty, while the character in Invictus does not have a set belief on god.
