A Beautiful Mind

The movie “The beautiful mind’’ was very inspiring to me in the message behind this remarkable story. I felt that their is always hope for you to make things better or prove people wrong if you have faith and courage in your self. The main trick is to keep moving forward and not giving up. At the beginning of the movie, John Nash seemed to display a man who was socially awkward because he would not really interact with others as much, only his roommate Charles. Charles seemed like a good/supporting roommate to have while staying in Princeton University. He helped John when he was extremely stressed and had no control in certain situations. John spends most of his interest in a mathematical theorem using different formulas and codes to figure out a math problem. He was a mathematical genius who was acknowledged towards the years. Along the way he meets Alicia where they both find an interest in each other in a short period of time. When John is out of control by his hallucinations, Alicia never gives up on him. In the beginning of the movie it seems he is called for help on a top secret mission by a man named Parker. Parker needs John to break down codes. Along the way, John also meets a little girl named Marcee who is related to Charles. As the movie gets into dept, it is clear that Charles, Marcee, Parker are people made-up. These people who are John’s creation is like his support team, people who he can easily communicate with. However, John gets too lost in the unreal world that he doesn't recognize what’s real and unreal. As he goes for  check-up ,the doctor reveals that he has an disorder and most take medication. The medication erases the unreal people in his life and doesn't allow him to think clear anymore. Math is his passion and he needs to think clear to work his best. Towards the end of the movie, John slightly overcomes his illness and managed to ignore his hallucinations even though he still sees them. The intelligence of John makes him become confident in himself that he can mange whats real and unreal with faith and his lovely wife Alicia by his side.

"All Sorts of Pitfalls and Surprises: Competing Views of Idealized Girlhood in Lewis Carroll's Alice Books"

In the article  "All Sorts of Pitfalls and Surprises: Competing Views of Idealized Girlhood in Lewis Carroll's Alice Books"  by Jennifer Geer, Carrol ( the author of Alice adventures in wonderland) “emphasize the differences between adult and juvenile perspectives of an idealized fairy tale”. The frames are very well taken into consideration in Alice’s adventures in wonderland because it shows her loving, cheerful childhood that will develop her into this “good” women and mother in the future. In the end of the story, Alice’s sister assumes by the dream Alice tells her about, she’s going to “keep, through all her riper years, the simple and loving heart of her childhood…remembering her own-child-life, and the happy summer days” (167). Her sister only sees the positive things Alice has to face while she grows up but in reality it’s not going to be that way. Alice’s experience in wonderland was not all positive since she had to deal with rude creatures, be around violent events and even become nasty herself towards the creatures to prove her point or defend herself. It is analyzed that due to Alice’s experiences in wonderland, she will benefit from while she grows up states the Victorians who defend fairy tales. The critics that disagree with this believe that “adult and child characters in the Alice books, as well as the implied readers, often want rather different things from one another; tale-telling both fulfills and frustrates their desires”. It seems that there are so many expectations from the story that not everything can be please able to everyone reading Alice in wonderland.   Carrol however has noticed the violence, angry environment Alice had to face that in his new book “ The Nursery Alice” there is a transformation of the creatures motives to make wonderland a safe, happy, peaceful, and environment. For example the caterpillar will no longer be angry  towards Alice and when she kicks bill at the rabbits house, it will be a “little tiny kick”.
