Lost_Horizon

Lost Horizon James Hilton created Lost Horizon as an ideal society as an escape from the reality of the outside world. He created many diverse characters with different opinions and beliefs. Even some personalities went to the extreme. Mallinson was immature and impatient, while Conway was the total opposite. Even though Barnard was thief, he was a fun loving type of man while Ms. Brinklow was very stiff and not very personable. Although, Barnard, Ms. Brinklow and Conway had dissimilar perspectives of Shangri-La; they overall enjoyed it. Barnard worked in the banking industry. He was caught stealing money out of accounts and was going to be charged for his crime. The flight he took to Shangri-La hid him and kept him from danger. He could get away “scot-free” and never have to worry about anything ever again. It was a safe haven for him. He found many things to do during his stay at Shangri-La. Barnard thought about how to make money and a faster production rate of gold was the answer. He said he was thinking about how to produce more gold for the village. Barnard also enjoyed the village and their philosophy, but what he mostly enjoyed were the village’s lost, horizon, shangri-la, felt, conway, brinklow, because, barnard, village, ms, peace, needed, enjoyed, world, while, place, philosophy, moderately, lama, ideal, high, found, although, about, very, tranquility, three, one, never, money, looking, hid, he’s, gold, even, enough, created, convert
