Answer:

Stargirl is the most "manic pixie dream girl" who ever pixie-dreamgirl-ed. She's practically the prototype. She's the Alpha and Omega of the cliche, coined by critic Nathan Rabin in his review of 2005's "Elizabethtown." Stargirl dresses eccentrically, she carries around a ukulele, and her pet rat lives in her knapsack. She drifts above the rituals and pressures of high school, communing on a higher and much wiser plane. She exists in order to change the lives of others for the better. As seen through the eyes of Leo, a shy kid who only wants to fit in, she is nothing less than a Magical Creature. He believes she can actually make it rain. And maybe she can. There's something uncanny about Stargirl.

What is the role of literature in understanding the human condition?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The "human condition" is an important part of our understanding of literature. Literary critics often label a piece of writing as literature - and not pulp fiction - if it tries to describe this "human condition". According to Reference.Com, this concept "refers to anything unique about being human, no matter the gender, race or religion of the person". We are a species that, no matter our individual differences, shares common challenges, questions and charactersitics.

Essentially, the discussion of the human condition is any thematic concern about human nature, human society or how we live our lives. In other words, it's about the fundamental issues of human existence. One of literature's central concerns is to comment on these issues; it might be better at it than psychology or philosophy!

If you are asked to make a theme statement about a piece of writing, the easiest way to identify a theme is to look for some challenge to the human condition. Look for common problems or conflicts that any person might face sometime in his or her life.

So let's be more specific. What kind of issues connected to "human nature, human society or how we live our lives" are we talking about? Well, it can mean MANY different things! Here are a few examples that come to mind:

How We Live Our Lives

-What is the good life?

-How do parents act towards their children?

-How do we deal with death?

-How do we deal with alienation from those around us?

-Should we conform or be original?

-How do we become adults? What is the process of maturation?

-What is the relationship between different generations or genders?

-How do we deal with excessive poverty or wealth?

Human Nature

-Are we naturally evil or good?

-Are we born with inherited traits or are we a "blank slate"?

-What's more important for human beings? Law and order or freedom?

-Are we determined by our genetic structure, environment, etc., or do we have free will ?

-Are we naturally social beings or are we individuals first?

-Can we know universal truths?

-Are we selfish or altruistic?

Human Society

-What's the best way to live together?

-Should we care for the weak and poor, or let them fend for themselves?

-What is a natural society: equality or hierarchy?

-Is civilization positive or negative?

-How should society treat the environment?

Some authors will merely describe these issues, while others will provide their particular perspective and beliefs.

So, when looking for a commentary on the human condition in your readings, look for these central thematic issues. You won't find them, say, in James Bond novels, but most of the prose and poetry you'll read in English classes will have this element.

Imagine that you had no problems in your life. how would life be different? Write a paragraph.​
valentina_108 [34]
Just think of it. Imagine today you have absolutely nothing going on. You have an entire day ahead of you but there is nothing you need to worry about. Your body is on a routine. Your mind is on a routine. It would be pretty monotonous.

We often do not realize how fast time is passing by because we are busy dealing with things. But imagine if we didn’t have to? Life would go slow.

Since there are problems, we instill gratitude in our minds. But if we had everything and absolutely no problems, gratefulness would never be something we’d consider. We usually realize the importance of things when we don’t have it with us.

Apart from that, our development would be lagging. I say this because so many amazing inventions have been made because inventors spotted a problem and thought they could fix. Similarly, as humans, we may not be motivated to do stuff ourselves.

Motivation is different for everyone, but let’s say you didn’t have to think of becoming independent, many would lose their motivation to find a decent paying job. Challenges in our life builds us up as a person and I feel like even our personal development would fall behind.

I do think that may be people wouldn’t stress if life had no problems.

In life, we are the problem solvers. Everything is a problem if you think of it that way but at the same time, nothing is a problem if you take it that way. But human nature is such that we find ways to create problems even if it does not exist. What a problematic life looks like to us could be someone else’s peaceful life.

Life without problems wouldn’t be like life at all and it definitely wouldn’t a roller coaster ride with a story that’s worth telling.

Why did many African Americans want to move away from using this specific dialect in works of literature?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer: In the 1960s, the South was a place African Americans fled, seeking better jobs and better lives in the North in what was known as the Great Migration. But in recent years that flow has switched and led to what’s become known as the Great Reverse Migration, with large numbers of African-Americans moving South again.
