The piece presents reality that most people do not often notice. According to the author, people live in a world of illusion. People tend to create a world shaped by their own way backed up with lies to cover their sufferings. This world which people believe in to be the reality is not what is real.
Most people believe that a day spent is just an ordinary day – people are happy. But, behind that ordinary day are events which are different. People would often believe that everything is fine. Not knowing that a lot of miserable things happened. A lot of people suffer from poverty; children suffer from different abuses; and some people even suffer from violence.
What people usually cares are those that concern and affect them – their family, work, and neighborhood. A lot of people couldn’t care less of those individuals who are in deep suffering. A world we believe in is exactly different from people who are in different shoes.
The essay was subjectively written by the author. It has a personal and literary style. The author defined reality based on what people believed to be real, which is for her an illusion; and what is the real reality. According to the author, what we perceive as our world is different from people in different situation.
In the first paragraph, the writer emphasize on the world which people perceived. A world that mirrors the way we act and is build up with lies – a world of illusion. On the following paragraph, the author starts to illustrate events that we usually do in what we considered as ordinary day. It is then followed by an illustration of the different side of the world. There is a comparison of the reality that we usually believe in and is shaped by our own; and the reality that shows not just the happiness of people, but as well as the sufferings of other people.
There is a further discussion of events that supports to the idea of the real world. It presents that violence happens and people often disregard and forget these. As the piece develops, it shows that the world which we live in is an illusion and the exact opposite of the real world.
The author clearly defined reality by illustrating events and contrasting them. Though it was a short piece, the author was able to deliver her ideas well on the world of illusion and the real world. The piece also allows us to reflect on the events that we are often unaware of; and changes our perception of the illusion world which we perceived.
