Some Examples of Book Covers in Different Languages

Yazan: -

     Here are some book cover designs of Island from Turkey, USA, UK, Germany, France, Russia, Protugal, Spain, Italy and Poland. Let's have a look at them!



        

We can say that the talking mynah birds are iconicly used in these covers. Personally, my favourite is the first one.

Some other examples are below:

                 

                  



                  



And the worst cover in my opinion is a spanish one. Because it does not give any clue about the book at all, and the island on the cover looks like a very small and classic island image, whereas Pala is much more developed than this.

We started to get to know Will. What about the other characters? So far we met some of them. Let's look. WILL’S MOTHER  We don’t know much about his mother. She suffers from rheumatism, had an unhappy marriage. In his memories, she is faded, tired. She was a priest’s daughter. WILL’S SISTER, MAUD  She lived her life surrounded by the adoptive responsibilities. Will thinks that if they would hear Will’s relationships with these two woman, they just could not understand why he did something like that. MARY SAROJINI MACPHAIL  A little girl from the island. Mary and his brother Tom are the first people which Will met in Pala. Mary is a very clever girl, she shows Will that the way he comes to Pala is not important. She says that if he talk about the things he fears, they will not be able to scare him anymore.  His father died from a mountain-climbing accident only a couple months ago. DR....

Utopian Philosophy and Its Reciprocity in The Island

Yazan: -
"Nobody needs to go anywhere else. We are all, if we only knew it, already there." Utopia, is the idealized "no place" or "nowhere" first described by Thomas More. In Huxley's writing, the first time we come across the manifestation of perfection when Will encounters the two children of the island, describing their pure appearance: Will looked from one child to the other. How beautiful they were, and how faultless, how extraordinarily elegant! Like two little thoroughbreds. Like many other utopian literary examples, idealization is sustained by the basic principles that have been established. These are presented to our outsider character Will Farnaby shortly after he arrives: "It merely states the underlying principles. Read about those first... You'll have a better understanding of what was actually done if you start by knowing what had to be done—what always and everywhere has to be done by anyone who has a clear idea about what's ...

  Because the story goes on from Will’s perpective, we can see so many different sides of him. The story starts with a memory, he remembers his ex wife, Molly. They are in the hospital, because she had an accident. Just before a couple hours from the accident, Will broke up with Molly, that’s why he feels guilty. He feels  guilt more then sadness . This is an intimate confession that he makes himself. He cheated on his wife too many times. If in one side there is the woman who he care about and his pleasure in the other side, he chooses his pleasure. He is not exactly a loyal man. He had an another affair with a woman named Babs. But now, they are very far away from him. They are in an another world. Will, he is in  Pala  now, the forbidden island.   And it all begins.  We can see that he is affected by the arrival to Pala. The storm, the snakes… He feels fear and despair, until the little girl...
