HOW TO FİND A THEME

5) Transformation

BOOKS:

Nora loves her simple, predictable life serving the regulars who come to the diner she owns, but her routine changes completely when she learns she and her free-spirited younger sister are about to inherit a home and land from one of the town's most beloved citizens. Kit is thrilled to hear the news, and even happier when she finds out the land was in the process of being sold to a big-box developer, but some people in the community are less than pleased at the idea of development. Torn between their own feelings, desires, and needs, the sisters need to decide what to do with the land, or risk losing it all in this novel from Louise Miller. I think this book relates to the transformation of the narrators life and the process, details of her life. In my opinion transformation is not just about art and design, transformation could happen anywhere at anytime. Even our character evolves, transforms into something different during period of times.

With it's startling, bizarre, yet surprisingly funny first opening, Kafka begins his masterpiece, The Metamorphosis. It is the story of a young man who, transformed overnight into a giant beetle-like insect, becomes an object of disgrace to his family, an outsider in his own home, a quintessentially alienated man. A harrowing—though absurdly comic—meditation on human feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and isolation, The Metamorphosis has taken its place as one of the most widely read and influential works of twentieth-century fiction. As W.H. Auden wrote, "Kafka is important to us because his predicament is the predicament of modern man." In this book transformation is happening in a physical way, as it could happen anywhere. I thought that researching a variety of forms of transformation in life would help me more, give me more ideas in my project.

MOVIES:

Back at the castle, the Magic Mirror reveals that Snow White is still living, and with the dwarfs. Enraged that the Huntsman had tricked and betrayed her, the Queen creates a poisoned apple that will put whoever eats it into a sleep-like death. She learns the curse can be broken by "love's first kiss," but is certain Snow White will be buried alive before this can happen. Using a potion to disguise herself as an old hag, the Queen goes to the cottage while the dwarfs are away. The animals attack her, but Snow White defends her. Unable to warn Snow White, the animals rush off to find the dwarfs. Claiming the apple is a magical, wish-granting one, the Queen fools Snow White into biting into it. As Snow White falls asleep, the Queen proclaims that she is now the fairest of the land. In this movie transformation happens in a fictional way as it is a movie, however we can see it everywhere, even though it is a fiction in this movie. I think it doesn't really matter if it is fiction, cause sometimes these kind of movies refers to the viewers in a more effective way.
