Existentialists believe that a good life must include experiencing every moment, not only the good, but the bad. Winston is able to experience almost every emotion in this novel. These emotions, some more important than others, help us understand how Existentialists could feel experiencing everything will lead to a good life. We see Winston at his happiest when he is with Julia. “His heart leapt” (125) when he was with her. He had to work very hard to just “[shut] the girl out of his mind” (109) so he could continue working. Their bond had become so intense that the two were terrified of being away from each other. When asked if they were “prepared to separate and never see one another again,” Julia jumps in exclaiming “No!” (173) Winstons happiness is most prominent during the time he spends with Julia.

George Orwell's novel 1984 can be seen as an exploration of some of the key themes of existentialism, such as the search for meaning and individual freedom in a world that is fundamentally oppressive and controlled.In the novel, the main character, Winston, is struggling to find meaning and purpose in a society that is controlled by the all-powerful government known as "Big Brother." Despite the constant surveillance and lack of individual freedom, Winston finds ways to resist the oppressive regime and assert his own independence and autonomy. Throughout the novel, Orwell explores the ways in which individuals can find meaning and purpose in a world that is hostile to their existence, and the importance of individual freedom and choice in the face of overwhelming external control. These themes are consistent with many of the key beliefs of existentialism.

The party at Gatsby's mansion was in full swing, the air thick with the sound of laughter and the clinking of champagne glasses. Daisy stood on the edge of the crowd, feeling out of place in her simple dress. All around her, people were indulging in the excesses of the roaring twenties, their faces flushed with the heady sense of possibility. As Daisy watched the scene unfold, she couldn't help but feel a sense of detachment. These people seemed so consumed by the trappings of wealth and success, their lives a blur of parties and excess. It all seemed so empty and meaningless to her. Daisy turned to leave, her thoughts heavy with the weight of her own disillusionment. In that moment, she knew that this world of Gatsby's was not for her. She longed for something more authentic, something with real substance and purpose. As Daisy walked out into the night, she couldn't shake the feeling that she was moving further and further away from the shallow, glittering world of the rich and famous.

Just a few miles away from the center of the city, the deserted Valley of Ashes sits in the gloom of fuming factories and decaying cars. Factories release clouds of thick smoke congesting the air. When the air is visible, a sign at the side of the road sits in miserable despair as it watches New Yorkers speed to and from the city. The Valley of Ashes is not a desirable place for anybody, except for an occasional scurrying rat. Main street is covered with potholes and skid marks; the speed limit is 35 miles per hour, but no one drives under 50. Toppling over each other, the vacant buildings sit depressed, locked in the grim land of the valley. Gaping holes in the roofs of old restaurants project sunlight onto the ripped floorboards. The hollowed out remains of a bank that had been robbed years before sits empty and disheveled. Smashed windows, cracked shutters, and soiled beds are what is left of the Main St. Motel.

The Articles of Confederation, adopted in 1777, was the first constitution of the United States. Despite being criticized as a failure, the Articles played a vital role in the formation of the United States. They united the thirteen colonies under a single government, established a sense of national identity and pride, and set the stage for the drafting of the United States Constitution. They also helped to handle issues that arose during the Revolutionary War, such as obtaining loans from foreign governments and establishing the Northwest Ordinance. While the Articles had its weaknesses, such as the lack of power to the central government, they served as an important step in the formation of a stable and functional government for the new nation.

The Articles of Confederation were written in 1777, soon after the colonies declared independence. The Articles of Confederation reflected the new states’ views and goals for a new independent country. John Dickinson, a delegate from Pennsylvania, was the chair of the committee that drew up this new constitution and government, and contributed greatly to the writing of the Articles. However, the Articles weren’t officially ratified in 1781 until the states that claimed lands between the Allegheny Mountains and Mississippi River gave these lands to Congress. Although the Articles of Confederation helped the states gain independence and control of the Northwestern Lands, they were a huge failure because of the inability to tax the people, the lack of a national army and structured government, and general problems resulting in division among states.
