Comparison between Life of Pi and Brave New World Essay

The heroes, Piscine Molitor Patel in Life of Pi by Yann Martel, and John in Brave new-fangled World by Aldous Huxley view their fearfulnesss as an obstacle that they must overcome. Both heroes were faced with immediate challenges in their life. Through challenging their fears, personal or fraternity morale benefits from their perceived success. In such a way, the heros success manipulates the situation as the feared become afraid. Each hero battled their fear differently and thus discovered a hidden truth behind the challenge they were faced with.John was born into his fear. He had no say or no choice. He had to find the positive out of every situation throughout his life. Never put off till tomorrow the fun you can abide today. John did what he could to service happily with himself. Adversity was a struggle for him. His hidden truth was his ability to feel and show affection, of which no one was capable to understand. This proved to be difficult for John being somewhat isolate d. On the other hand, Pi was a quick and decisive learner. His fear was conquered through his self-determination. search and taming Mr. Parker (the tiger) revealed much of his hidden truth. Pi revealed, The presence of God is the finest of rewards. To him, it was as if his fear now became the feared. Pi was rewarded with self-empowerment. With the conquering of the heros fears, different aspects of their lives were affected with their efforts. Individually, Pi was rewarded. Pi quoted, Can there be any happiness greater than the happiness of salvation? This can be related to the Warden from Shawshank Redemption saying, Salvation lies inwardly.For Pi this meant he had the power in saving himself from any terrible circumstances. Being considered an anti-hero, John did not necessarily individually benefit from his fight against his fear from the land state itself, but he may have influenced others who might possibly follow his path. As for John, he believed suicide was an option und er his situation, outcome is better than mending. He finally decided there wasnt a way in changing the New World in which he perpetrate suicide.In an effort to impact his fear, he was able to potentially influence others, like a domino effect. As this was easily the most feared situation the world state could be faced with. With the heros efforts, personal and community morale benefited. No matter the aspiration, change for the better will occur. As my get has always told me, Everything happens for a reason. In both situations, Pi and John found a way through their fears, and influenced themselves and others as the feared are now the afraid.
