During the Victorian age, life was so difficult for people, specially for children and woman. Actually we can realize about that throughout the movie "Oliver Twist" and the short story of "The signal-man".
Poverty is the strongest theme that represent the Victorian age, because it shows that people used to live in poor conditions without rights and possibilities to make progress with their lives and to assure the life of their descendants.
It is very sad to see that reality of children in the movie Oliver Twist, because children are innocent creatures and they need to grow up in a fair society, in a clean world and obviously where nobody cold ignore them and make them suffer.
In the story of the signal-man we can notice a huge imagination of the author where the reader can be involved in the story leaving apart that those ideas of ghosts are not part of the reality and think that it may could be true.

Frankenstein = Mary Shelley

I really think that the story of Frankenstein and the life of Mary Shelley have a lot in common. First of all, she did not have a "normal" life because of her family and her problems as a child and as a woman. In the case of the monster it was not created to live a "normal" life.
Secondly,the author of the article tries to emphasize the idea that Mary Shelley in some way wanted to express what she was living at that moment and what she used to be during her life. She did it through out the personification of that horrible monster in Frankenstein.
Mary Shelley was an educated woman, who during her whole life was looking for new information and increasing her knowledge. On the other hand the monster was created to be intelligent and to know a lot of things. Those are similarities that really let us interpret that the monster is a reflection of the author Mary Shelley.

It is very interesting that some authors write their own life stories hided behind the characters' story. I think that it is a great idea of hiding your story and let the reader interpret it and find out that it actually is the author's own story.

T.S Eliot and "The Waste Land"

In classes we could observe a picture where everybody said what we can rescue from it and what it makes us feel. Well, there were different perceptions; loneliness, darkness, desolation, love, rubbish, sadness. Those descriptions have in common the idea of "bad" things, because the picture does not show the opposite and let think think that there is nothing else.
If we put the idea of the image with the poem "The Waste Land" from T.S Eliot I can find that image reflected in the V part of the poem, which is called "What the Thunder said". In the first part of that sonnet appear the idea of what happened after a great storm, and if we looks carefully at the picture we could see that there are hindrance and rubbish everywhere. But, among those all rubbish we can find life expressed throughout the two people in the back of the image. In the case of the poem we can see that in an specific part there is named water, but saying that there is not water:

"Here is no water but only rock
Rock and no water and the sandy road"

Here happens the same thing as in the image. The fact that there is no water it means that there is no life, because water is the essential element of life. So, we can conclude that the poem and the image reflect the ideas of destruction and death.

The Invisible Japanese Gentlemen

The story of The Invisible Japanese Gentlemen let me think about many aspects that we face nowadays in our daily life. For example, when we are traveling by metro or bus we do not realize about our environment and people who are near to us. Most of times we are only focused on our problems and life and we do not care about anything else. In the story we can see the same thing. The girl was only concentrated in her business. I really think that she never realized that there were a group of eight Japanese men eating in the same restaurant seated next to her. Besides, I think that if the Japanese gentlemen would receive a glance or a sign from the couple (the girl and her fiancé) that gave them the idea to say hello, they should have done it very gently. But the couple was not able to do that.

If the girl wanted to become a writer she should have the power or the ability of noticing and observing what happens around her. I think that she would have had a great story form the Japanese gentlemen, but may be she did not have the real interest of being a writer, or may be she had to develop her “ability”.

Odour of Chrysanthemus

About this story I could say there are many interesting words which make me think that every age is represented by important issues. For example, there appears poverty, loneliness, addictions, social problems and prohibitions. That is very representative of a society. The idea of that family in the story, which was almost destroyed by those problems, makes us think that everybody can face this kind of situation, but the solution is in realizing about that and try to solve those problems.

Here the image of woman is very important, because they become the main character in the story, where women are the ones in charged of maintain a family alive, which not necessary means by money.

The rocking- horse winner

I think that every story give us main ideas of itself throughout important and significant words. This story makes me feel the sad idea o ambition which is essential in the story of the child and his mother. Sometimes, that ambition is so big that does not give more space for love and time for other important things.

May be the mother in this story should gave more importance to her son, when he asked her for more attention because it might change a lot of thing in their life and it could had helped them to achieve what they wanted.
