Final essay of "Christmas every day" by William Dean Howells

HOW MANY WE CAN RESIST?

In the long of the existence of the life, under the behavior of the man, always is seen the manifestation of aspirations, desires or requests by the human being, aspirations or tastes related to the need of this one of don't have the equivalence of a displeasure or anything that could disgust us , towards the man is always searching what can mean to he or she the plenty of his or her lives and tastes focusing again in the satisfaction as something basic on an individual level or aspect that we must take into account,  under this  enter in our minds the impetuous need of that everything arises or have to work according to our individual wills. but we it also enter in our minds the ideal that says that to have what you want in excess isn't good and not everything what is wished always is an own benefit, we must take care of what we want ,thinking in the consequences that express how it is not good to have everything, a point of balance must exist I believe between the perfectionism or human inconformity and also the conformity and stability of this one.so analyzing this concepts and wills here comes  my hypothesis: Which are the limits of the nuisance and of the displeasure in the human being, in the moment to possess everything wished.?

We can take the example of the tale "Christmas everyday" by William Dean Howells, that is just a reflect of this situation in the life of an energetic innocent little girl that at once  wish the eternity or the infinity of Christmas, this act was just because of her own individual wills, she doesn’t take care or think in her family, neighbor ,city or country, In the history after like a week of the same repetitive sequence of the Christmas ,the humanity was extremely tired and everything caused only for the selfish desires of a girl who was refused and negated of have her balance between the good and bad things of hers life, but later the discomfort of the rest of her environment  affect her and she makes questions and start to think later on  the benefits and consequences of what so intensely he had wished, in this part of the story the limits of disgust of a wish were understandable ,but also the quotes of the story later refer to a progressive discomfort by that situation.

“The little girl began to get frightened, keeping the secret all to herself, she wanted to tell her mother, but she didn't dare to, and she was ashamed to ask the Fairy to take back her gift, it seemed ungrateful and ill-bred. So it went on and on, and it was Christmas on St. Valentine's Day and Washington's Birthday, just the same as any day, and it didn't skip even the First of April, though everything was counterfeit that day, and that was some little relief.”- “Christmas everyday” by William Dean Howells.

“Before Thanksgiving came it had leaked out who had caused all these Christmases. The little girl had suffered so much that she had talked about it in her sleep, and after that hardly anybody would play with her, because if it had not been for her greediness it wouldn't have happened.” - “Christmas everyday” by William Dean Howells

Thinking now about the people or society in an aspect more realistic (remembering the problematic that comes or is made form by  our greed and satisfaction), if we had in a moment everything what we wish, we would not have limits, the hypothesis asks or establishes how many time  or how much we can support always of having everything to our feet, so well as already I said before if we take into account the greed and conformity that are locate in our  minds, with the desire or problematic we mention before,  the time that we would last or spend  with the same extensive benefits wouldn’t have limits and the limits we would define them only as the commonness of living with what we want, if nowadays in our corrupt society someone wishes massively all the money of the world two moments will exist of fail before this person in spite of the fact that his conformity and satisfaction, the first one of this fail moments would be the commonness of living that express as we can see the routine boredom of living like in case of the example with all the money of the world, this one derives another point of nuisance or failure that is the new search of the satisfaction.

We leave that boredom of something that so much we were coveting or wishing in a moment of past and replace it by another object that also motivates possession and desire, if these two failures are made with success and appear promptly in what we can called the " life dreamed " we would have a limit of the nuisance and of the displeasure that in the moment of possess everything wished we can have as it says the hypothesis, If we compare the desire of the girl of the eternal Christmas with that of the absolute discretion of the money of the world, we join them with the desire of an own benefit and the evident egoism, but clearly the intentions and up to purposes of both desires are different, the girl makes a wish for something innocent and magic that according to what the consequences announce gets lost, all magic evaporates of something that was extremely special in  past, Whereas the man of the common who asks for the absolute money is different, we can figured out that he does not ask or wish for anything good or special, because the money is associates with the power, and the power derives pride and I believe he (pride) is the father of all the faults and there must exist a point of overload or saturation between how negative or positive  we are, is it what reflects the boredom of his desire, the excess or overflow of something even of the bad customs or purposes disgusts, which now it wants to say that the limits and his capacity that we mention can be equal (in the way according to time in which they are demonstrate) or exhausting in the ages and desires of the persons in spite of the avaricious thing and conformist that one could have ,both the child and the man.

It is as well as according to the examples and according to the maturity or failure of taste for the perfect life, we understand that the quantity of time that we can last supporting ,it is the same for  the greedy conformists who can continue living through the "bad thing" that they wished without any problem but it will not be the same amount of  time for those who wished a supposed good, which  it is possible now to affirm is that it is not an eternal resistance or an eternal quantity of time  and if there exist limits at the time of the nuisance or irritation for the wished life, we find now that even what we wish we can’t support it or to last forever because it has limits and moments in which we got bored and fail or lose the true essence of life for living one it is supposed we are dreaming because it comes by a wish.

Epigraph quote of "the model millionaire" by Oscar Wilde

Activity: choose one quote as the epigraph of your essay

"'The only people a painter should know,' he used to say, 'are people who are bete and beautiful, people who are an artistic pleasure to look at and an intellectual repose to talk to. Men who are dandies and women who are darlings rule the world, at least they should do so.' However, after he got to know Hughie better, he liked him quite as much for his bright buoyant spirits and his generous reckless nature, and had given him the permanent entree to his studio."

5 paragraphs text of "the sphinx without a secret" by Oscar Wilde

Activity: write up a 5 paragraphs text supporting your hypothesis

After read “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi” story by Rudyard Kipling the problem or topic I can identify to form or make my hypothesis is the prejudice arising to the mongoose, the way across the take is judged and criticized because of its size and boldness, this is the problem that even the readers cause just about what we think we know and not only in this story, in"the sphinx   without a secret" by Oscar Wilde we judge the woman of the story by the version of the facts his lover, lord Murchison gives about her behavior, in the moment of think about her acts we think as the lord , that she is cheating him , but we did not expect the end that the story that even lord Murchison says about her, so taking into account this here comes my hypothesis, as humans or living beings is possible to just judge by the abilities or truly actions of a person and not by the appearances of it?.

This question is tricky because the majority of humans accept that this is not a problem, we think judge only by what we see is something good, but we can see we are making an stigma about one person only by how it looks in our minds, we are very spoiled to this actions, but I think judge by the abilities of a person is possible and in fact is how it should be our way of judging people, because all is not what it looks like, and always there  is a second version of the story, in the story "the sphinx without a secret" we look how this horrible custom is applied by a young man , the Lord Murchison with his lover, he think his lover was cheating he just to see how it mysterious and discreet towards others she was , and also he judge her judge because he found her in what is commonly thought would be a typical hotel scene of infidelity, leaving and entering alone with much discretion for anyone to see her, Lord Murchison thinks the woman she love had another man to be her clandestine lover.

before tell how the story ends at this point we see how the writer play with us and our minds to make us  believe that she in fact was cheating on him, but this is a lie, she wasn't cheating him, the only sin of this woman was to be obsessed with novels of mystery and darkness,and she liked to go alone to hotel rooms to read, with an indefinite appearance only by believe she was the super heroine of this own story,It was terrible how he judge her but it was worse that he realized too late that she was a good person when she was already dead. may be this was the new lesson for lord Murchison to doesn't judge by the appearances of his lover the next time. if he had asked her about her behavior or had heard and loved her for what she was ,he had never renounced it to her, after this we know that is is possible to judge a person by the abilities and behavior but only after we had lost that person ,or after there is nothing left to do to give us the the opportunity to meet a new person.

so it is truly possible to change our manner of judgment but with  many failures behind and at a high price, it is only possible if you take time to analyze and indeed socializing with a person, not just what we think of that person, it is possible if as human beings we are we have tolerance to not discriminate and accept what  beings of our same specie are,it is a matter of accepting no matter what and not to draw quick conclusions deliberately,rather we can say the story is a reflection of the wrongfulness of this problem and  of how ignorant we are for not wanting to help for end this problem that every day with so existing discrimination of whatever is growing.  

Now we can even say that the story is a reflection of this topic, because it shows us that the  woman was a good person and lover, everybody talks bad about her  but her acts weren't bad, they said she was the typical fatale female and the plane of the story make us believe that, but we as lord Murchison after se what was her end we learned the reason when it was too late, good for us that was only an story, but how do you will feel if this story would be your reality? would someone of us be able to judge that person by how truly is or by how it seems in our mind?. I really think that is possible, and it would simply be for private gain, grow and be better people each one of us, and also the benefit of the world and humanity.

Hypothesis of "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" by Rudyard Kipling

Activity: Give a hypothesis to your essay

After read “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi” story by Rudyard Kipling the problem or topic I can identify to form or make my hypothesis is the prejudice arising to the mongoose, the way across the take is judged and criticized because of its size and boldness, this is the problem that even the readers cause because I the moment of search how is this animal and which is the form or the anatomy of a mongoose it is hardly to believe that an animal of this kind can beat a cobra as the story says, so taking into account this here comes my hypothesis, as humans or living beings is possible to just judge by the abilities of a person and not by the appearances of it?.

Now we can even say that the story is a reflection of this topic, because it shows us that the Mongoose at the end of the tale achieve its mission and protect those who love and defeat the cobra no matter what everyone else says about her, with no more than her teeth and capabilities, this is the hypothesis I bring out from the story, to find evidence or defenses if this is true or not we need something more else than read, because this problem is not only born in fantasy tales, rather we can say the story is a reflection of the wrongfulness of this problem and  of how ignorant we are for not wanting to help for end this problem that every day with so existing discrimination of whatever is growing.

The death for me

In the gloom Where the stalks cant grow or flourish,
where the crumbs have already been digested,
And where the dust is limited to oblivion,
death abreast me,
looking for everything I have struggled in past
and it feeds of whom I have always begged.
she jerked to me with her terrible gestures
as if she was a real woman, or as if she was my mother,
the one I have loved.
she makes me see everything flat and un happy,
telling me that she will make a buckle with my flesh
leaving my crumbled soul small as a pebble.
