Once an
individual experiences a trauma that individual cannot just go back to their
previous life. They viewed a scarring event which is now embedded into their
mind forever. Even if they may try to subdue that moment with addictions and
obsessions like alcohol or drugs, that moment is still unconsciously with them:
for instance if a young child were to witness a murder or any type of criminal
act, that occurrence would be etched into their brain. They might even have
some emotional and mental barriers that relate to that one incident as life progresses.
These barriers would be caused because that individual realized that life is
not all sugar spice and everything nice, thus reminding them “Real eyes realize
real lies”. The comprehension that bad things do happen is now part of their
daily life; which in the end ultimately robs that child of a peaceful, serene
childhood. That simple act now places that person into the real world forced to
deal with real situations, no more sugarcoated truth. As for Mr. Utterson and
Mr. Enfield, in chapter 7 they encounter monumental changes in their
lives. No longer can everything be simple, because they have a need to know
everything, they slowly are placing themselves into danger. When a
satanical event occurs at Mr. Jekyll’s house, there is no undoing what just
happened. Therefore they pray to god hoping for forgiveness. “God forgive us,
God forgive us.” Although no matter what they do from that point in time they
cannot change what they saw, which now is embedded into their heads.
I totally agree with what you saying about life. It's not always like a fairy tale there will be flaws. I also strongly agree with you about how the actions Jeckyll did, such as killing someone, which might not be true but most likely could permanetly affect your life completley. Overall I thought your grammer and fluency was great and you went to straight to the point.
ReplyDeleteI think this writing post was very clearly thought out and planned. You did a great job explaining and expressing your opinion without directly stating it. You could have had a better introduction that better summed up what your main idea was. Other than that, this was great writing. Good job!
ReplyDeleteNice explanation of your thoughts! Your depth into the story's meaning is good, and is portrayed through your post. One suggestion would be for you to add some emotion to stronger your point. Overall, fantastic!
