The theme of life is something sounds very interesting but it is very scary From my own experience and friends, many of us are trying to find ourselves. As a young adult like I do, the process of finding myself is confusing and sometimes very depressing. I think in different phases of my life there would be different themes. I have been through many phases of my life but I think, for the most part, my theme of life is searching. At different periods of time, I would search for something in life. As a kid, I would search for joy and fun. As I grew up more, I would be searching for recognition from my friends, my family. And right now, I am looking for my future and who I want to be. In between, there would be someone and events that would eventually affect us and make us change what we are searching for. But I think that the process of searching would never stop because it would be made not us but society grow more.

I and my family used to move around a lot, so I always have to pack things and leave some behind. But there is this blue pillowcase that for some reason, I always have. My mom said I have had it since I was four. But the funny thing is I hardly ever put it on an actual pillow, I just hold it whenever I go to sleep. I don’t exactly know why, maybe because it was blue or because it was soft. When I moved to the United States all by myself, once again I could not forget to bring my blue pillowcase. Now, I think it is more than just a case. I had it when my grandparents were still alive. I had it when I still live with my parents and surround by people I felt comfortable with. I did not think much of it before but now, I think this pillowcase that I am holding right now when I am writing this post represents my past and my childhood. I do feel comfortable when I am holding this blue thingy and my parents are always with me through this blue pillowcase.

 I have admitted that "The Ones Who Walked Away from Omlas" is a fantastic story by  Ursula K. Le Guin. Imaginative was not missing in the story. And as a person who likes to read about psychology and sociology, I immediately got online to look for the answer. I found on the internet is that Ursula's story was a criticism of the U tilitarian society. Utilitarian society is the society in which the citizen focus on their own happiness. People would ask themself what to do to maximize the pleasure and minimize the sadness for their own. Sadly, I think this is one of human basic instinct, therefore, it would apply to every society to ever exist. From Monarchy to Capitalism, citizens in those societies usually aim to gain interest for their own to try to not in a bottom of society which in Ursula's story is the child with chain. I think Ursula have an implied criticism of how the ignorance of the citizen of Omelas.     " But as time goes on they begin to realize th...

          Some cry when they are sad, few cry when they are happy. He was living far from home. It's been 3 years since he was really happy. About three years ago, he celebrated his birthday with his family and friends on a beautiful and sunny day. But today, it's his birthday but the sky is dark and he is lonely. He took a longer shower than usual. He takes more deep breaths than ever. Then, he received a letter. He opens the letter. It was sent by his sister. The letter has a picture in it. He takes a long look at the picture and starts crying. Is it a happy cry or a sad cry? He doesn’t even know.
