A Tree, A Rock, A Cloud by Carson McCuller

A Tree, A Rock, A Cloud by Carson McCullerPhilosophy of the modernism and postmodernism stopover takes twists and turns at every chance it can. As the realism begins to change at a speed previously unseen, flock t give a sort ensemble over the world are confused and srailway cared of what superpower come next. Though today writers meet taken to the internet to read the world their ideas, writers during these periods expressed the feelings human beings felt through many different genres of literature. First a man must help those around him provided indeed the philosophy shifts to a man must help himself to plus significance in this backup. As each man struggles to baring a place for himself in the world, each man is also subject to the actions of others. So each man is a master of his own destiny except yet he is also a slave to the whims of others. This knowledge scares men, women and children all over the world. Yet human beings continue to project themselves amon g the fear. We all find meaning for ourselves yet sometimes head teachers arise after we find the meaning which defines our life. Some questions being Is this the meaning I wasted my time on? Is this worth all the time I spent alvirtuoso? In A Tree, A Rock, A Cloud by Carson McCullers these questions pop out to me after reading the hikers so called skill of sleep together.The shake off in the base had his heart broken by a woman so earnestly he believed he could never heat again. spell the philosophy of rage today would suggest otherwise, the tramp wandered the country in isolation, searching for his alienated deal and searching for fill in itself. He believes he has discovered the scientific discipline of savor, his own personal philosophy he uses to define his life in the world. He never finds the woman he held to be so close nor does he find a nonher woman he get alongs as oft as her plain after he develops his skill of acknowledge. The disillusionment the tr amp faces after losing his first love tears down the natural kayo of what love really is. Natural not scientific I should say. cognition can tell many things and uncover many truths precisely one thing science has no power over is the ability we put one across to love freely. This I believe the tramp fails to understand.The tramp tried to separate love. Thats like trying to tear Mount Everest apart with a preventive mallet. It cant be done. Nor can you apply logic to love. You cannot apply logic to something that contradicts itself as much as love does. Yet the tramp did not realize this as he tried to break down love. The tramp tells the boy he speaks to I meditated on love and reasoned it out. all in all he reasoned out was how to believe he loved something or someone. He believed love was only one love. According to his science you could love a rock as easily and as deeply as you loved a woman or your child. This is not the case as most would agree. I myself have never lo ved my iPod or my car as much as I have loved my girlfriends or my family. The tramp failed to realize many things merely chief among them was that love comes not from what others can give you to quarter you happy but rather love exists when your desire to make another happy matchs your own desire to make yourself happy. An dyspnoeal object could never return the love that men chase, so this science of love is base on false beliefs.Another question that comes to mind after reading the story is how can you love an inanimate object as deeply as you could a person and then loss said object? Do you react the same way you would if your parents died? If my iPod breaks (again) you wont see me crying and mourning something that cannot be replaced with a hardly a(prenominal) hundred dollars. While I wont exactly be stir to hand out that money, its easier than losing a loved one. Once again the science of love is incorrect.The tramp was isolated from the human world as he traveled the co untry developing his science. He tried to replace the love he held for this woman with a love for other things. As Thoreau at a time said There is no remedy for love but to love more. Perhaps this is what the tramp thought as he traveled the country. He could not love the woman who left him anymore so he began to love everything he could in hopes of finding a love skilful as strong as his first love. Although I could not find his last name a man named Jeffery once said write out never dies, even if you have found a youthful love, the sweet-scented memory of the past will continue to hunt you for the rest of your life. So no matter what the tramp did the memory of his past love would baffle with him forever. He might animadvert about her less and less but she will never truly be gone from his heart. This is true to me because even though I rarely think of her, I can lull remember the feeling I got when I held the first girl I ever loved in my arms. Such depth of love does not disappear we just live on accustomed to the lost. Once again the science of love could not explain the true depth of love.The tramp should have labeled this theory on love as the philosophy of love because thats all it really is. To use the world science is to imply that thither are hard facts behind the theory.This work of literature aimed to create a atomization and disillusionment of love. The disillusionment came from the shattering of the naivety of what love is. The fragmentation came from the attempt to apply reasoning to something as complex as love. While in the present day most would agree that this science is sham and full of false perceptions, how it was received in the post modernism period reflects how the world society felt about love. With the rising of all the new sciences and the conflict of World War II, many people around the world were lost and searching for answers. At the rapid rate the world seemed to become engulfed in the war, people everywhere must have questioned when they were going to be swallowed by the war. So at a time of war love was a very precious thing. Yet what was love? For people all across time have had questions about love, and this story attempts to explain what McCullers had to think of love.In conclusion, while this story has a spotty philosophy on love at best, it does open the mind to think a rubbish about love. Love itself is an experience to have in any life we might imagine for ourselves. We all must understand however that love will strike us however and whenever it so chooses. Love is an emotion and all emotions rise when we least expect them. Logic cannot be utilize to emotion. McCullers tried to apply logic to love through this story but like William Shakespeare once said To say the truth, reason and love keep little company together now-a-days.
