stiv31 [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

He thinks so because such a scenario is something humans (including the moviegoers) can relate to - man's desire to escape from himself.

Explanation:

Walker Percy in his book, <em>Lost in the Cosmos</em> relates a scene that is common in most movies. A case in a movie where a man returns to his home and cannot recognize his wife again but is taken to bed by her was one of the examples cited by Percy. He noted that the person watching the movie is excited not because the man has amnesia, but because all his past troubles have been forgotten.

This feeling, Percy noted is something that appeals to people in general. The desire to escape from themselves and forget all of their struggles.

for your body paragraph include 2 reasons( the ones i gave above) about how they are alike and then include two peices of evidence and then you can explain what the evidence means and what the author is trying to describe by the evidence. for your evidence you could find a part in the story that explains how things aren’t the same as they are now and you could explain that the hunger games is the same way. i’m sorry i couldn’t write it out for u but i hope this helped u and can guide u how to write it.
