The_Immortals

The Immortals Not many people fulfill there dreams. People go lifetimes with no really purpose except for everyday routines because they either do not know any better or it just become branded on there foreheads. The result of dreams not being explored is regret, the common person is one filled with enormous empty gaps which seems never to be satisfied and probably never will. The story The Immortals by Martin Amis, is a prime example of an ordinary person who has never felt fulfilled. The New Zealand school teacher makes himself out to be an Immortal that has been around since the being of time, and is judging humanity as if he was not part of the race. This story shows a different perspective of looking at humanity, no boundaries for the human imagination and an ordinary person looking to be special. The story is intriguing because until close to the end the writer does not start to reveal the true nature of the character. He is representing the ordinary man who strives for more, more answers then a book can give and experienced people can describe. He wants the wisdom for himself.
