Preserving the Past “The common people have no history: persecuted by the present, they cannot think of preserving the memory from the past.” Jean Henri Fabre Main events that happened in the past such as the Renaissance, still impact us today. One of the only artifacts that we continue to have is art. Art has been a major influence during those medieval times and are very significant to us right now. What people don’t realize is that if we erase art, we erase part of us. Our cultural…

one black and one white, gnawing at the vine that the man is currently attached to. A decision has to be made: return to the past or proceed to the future. This is the story of A Parable. Something seems to be missing, though. The present isn’t an option, why is that? Many people, just like this man faced with problems of life or death, are far too preoccupied with the past and the future to the point where…

discover much of Rhys’s past after her death, as only eleven published manuscripts were left after she died. Therefore this seems to expose Rhys’s aspiration of not wanting anyone to delve into her private past, as wanted to concentrate on what existed during her prime. Yet people still maintained speculation regarding Rhys’s early years, wanting to use her past works to give reason to what happened in her present and future pieces. Likewise Woolf wanted none of her past writings to be published…

In the beginning of Velleman’s paper, So It Goes, he asserts that the enduring self is an illusion. Velleman is helped by another philosopher, Derek Partif, in establishing his claim that anything enduring seems false in claiming that, “connections of memory do not necessarily trace out the career of a single, enduring object, and they…

the past and the documents containing such information, Taylor (n.d) identifies history as a field correlated to the trauma that forms part of human existence. According to Taylor (n.d) history is part of human existence and it should be referenced according to the events that took part in the past years. This means that it should never be separated in terms of durations of discontinuities, but it should rather form part of the existence. Unlike Foucault who associates history with the past,…

No one has lived a perfect past, but the way we go about when dealing with the past determines the fate of our future. One’s painful past is often an impediment on their physical and mental state for the rest of one’s life, ultimately resulting in a loss of any future potential and sense of self-worth. In Annie Proulx’s novel, The Shipping News, the main character, Quoyle, experiences an abusive past of which he believes he’s at fault for. As Quoyle’s journey through adulthood is expressed in…

Milestones in the Future That Will Affect Where I will be in the Future When I think about milestones in my life, I have to think about my past milestones because they are what build my character to the person I am today. The fact that I am the youngest of five boys and the only one to graduate high school and also when I chose to join the marines knowing I have never been outside of Montgomery. Those are milestones that changed the way I look at life and also myself but my future milestones…

As Prior, Ambros has a clear memory of his past, which is presented to us more explicitly as the potential bearer of both salvation and self-destruction. Adelwarth is constantly tormented by a tragically photographic memory of him and his friend Cosmo; therefore, he chooses to have his mind, self…

The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot is a poem that explains how people have become disconnected. Whether it be that mankind has become disconnected with nature, with a spiritual force, or with time, we have drifted away from having connections with others and the world that we live in, instead people are focusing more on themselves. Even though The Waste Land was written in 1922 it still holds some truth about how we are disconnected with time in today’s society. Time is an essential part in everyone’s…
