Semi-Final Exam LIT 004(#3)
Semi-Final Exam LIT 004 (#2)
Miniver Cheevy is a man, who is really trying to live life in the true call of his yearnings as a part of his human nature. He is evidently expressive and he possesses an extrovert personality as justified by his flashy act of drinking. He is a poor man who is in struggle of contentment and satisfaction, while Richard Cory is a rich man who is living with a destructive lull in his personality. He’s an introvert individual and pretentious. He’s not living life the way he desires it to be. He goes against the call of his human nature.
These two persons are in struggle for real, genuine, and unfeigned happiness. These undertakings imply disturbances and confusions. Both of their lives are miserable, despondent and dejected.

SILENCE THAT SLAYS A PERSON WITHIN
Silence is the most perfect expression of scorn and silence propagates itself, and the longer talk has been suspended, the more difficult it is to find anything to say and so it is then that turmoil will detectably spoil your life..
There seems to be a lull in the outward allusion of life as shown by Richard Cory. It does not match with the actual encounter he is inwardly engage at. This phenomenon certainly pertains to an introvert personality.
A personality that is evidently calm on the outward but certainly troubled inside is a driving force towards a miserable life. This is a part of life’s hurdles. As I consider it, it is a grime of life.
Being an agent of pretense is a way of voluntarily killing yourself. Life isn’t about what you want people would see of you, not about impressions on you, because at the end, it is only who will take the liability in taking heed of yourself. Never can you attain real contentment and gratification as well as happiness if you only live to feed the perceptual assumptions of the crowd. This is just temporal. Take hold of yourself. The underlying dangers of living life in destructive lull of your entity bring you into jeopardy. So just live within the circle of your yearnings and so I tell you, you’ll find real jubilation.

Beauty and The Beast (reflection)
Behind the Scenes of the Naked Eye
Beauty and the beat is a story that reminds me of how an unprecedented beauty must be defined. It brews me upon being a wise lover. Just like how Beauty defended her love for Beast beyond the imperfections of his physical manifestations. What the lady had done is an evidence, an indication that love knows no boundaries. As long as you know how to love, then there are no grounds for you not to be loved.
For me, attitude matters, character counts, for it is attitude and character that make an individual aesthetically outshining. This is what the story had inculcated in my living mentality. It acquaints me to love unconditionally and never ever let my standards be based on the physical concerns. Yes, it may be a slice of it, but beauty and charm is deceitful, it will fade along with age and time. I must always find myself in search of contentment that calls not for superficial beauty but for aesthetic character that shines unconditionally.
This encounter is inevitable; the human populace is indeed a victim of fraudulent physical beauty. It may lead to a hazardous emotional status. It’s a rampant erroneous belief that if one is physically attracted to a person then it is love. It must be rectified and thud, be improved unto an apt mind-setting. The tangled minds must be reminded that beauty must come from within, for it is only this type of beauty signifies infinity and perpetuity.
