The wall symbolizes the comparison of two worlds. The idealistic and the realistic, but the window represents the hope,
the real hope to materialize the idealism, the peace in the holistic nature. The main character, Martin of the novel is I as we, the humans with need to feel that the wall, the sorrow of comparison does not exist if window, the joy of the simile is present. We want to imitate the great people, however the hitch, as a wall needs a window of imaginations and creativity. The art of imaginations is part of creative thinking.
Our human nature has one of the best gifts and it is the art of imitation, but it is a creative art only if we know how to use it. The imitation is as if ability to photocopy the original, as we call it the duplicity. The duplicity becomes an offense and in some cases the crime, but the creative imagination is to use the knowledge for the welfare and development of all. It seems clear from the serving others, in which the duplicity, the window without outside vision, does not give any fruit, if we discuss the novel in the modern context.
We learn from the novel that the discovery and exciting adventures give charm while we read, listen, speak as personal experience or it comes to our knowledge by any mean. We have such a flight of creative thinking and scientific feelings that we find our mind going through such an experience, which is as if a lesson for others with whom we share and for us as well. The knowledge and wisdom is a globalization of what we all know and feel as the humans.
For Martin, it is making of the universally personal experience. The diversification in the way one learns, thinks and feels makes us unique, the path for the originality. The greater the difference in two, even in case of war and peace, the more learning is possible from it. We promote diversification for better insight and creative thinking and the scientific feelings. The similes are the end of learning, but the comparison and the contrast is the beginning of it as the window of the wall. When there is an absence of the simile, our mind works, otherwise the most reactive faculty of our brain stops.
The most important faculty of our brain is searching for the comparison and the contrast. This seems the human need for the development and evolution of the intelligence, which one possesses, because we can keep our mind active in comparisons and the contrasts. It is the basic need otherwise in the perfect similes; our intelligence would not function resulting in the failure of immune system. The weakness and the failures in the immune system seems because of the simile, for which we feel as if we have no fears, dangers, threats, in other words the absence of all typical problems having relation with what seem violence to us.
The violence is simply the violation to create the difference that one seeks as an individual that he or she is different from others. The old man, Martin learns it that in the case of excess of similes, one strives to have an identity and thus may to the extremes where the violation of the law and order and other social disciplines may become a part of thinking and the behavior. The novel conveys that duplicity in action creating the pollution in the thoughts, imaginations and the feelings, is not service to others.
The kids imitate and show that they are having the similarity, and we clap for the imitator not for the one whom one has imitated. Even in the imitation, the kids seek appreciation and the admiration for their ability to imitate. Imitation goes to the level of following the holistic life, if one learns. The reason is simple that even in the imitation the simile is for the comparison and the contrast that one maintains while doing all the actions maintaining the individuality, the art of performance. All of the creative arts begin from the imitation and the practice makes it the performance, but following makes it serving, the charm of peace.
The singers on the stage may have the same teacher, same training and time of practice, yet they maintain the differences, though all attempted for the simile that we might call the perfection in the creative art of the music or singing. Now, the imitation, curiosity and the learning for the similes in the creative arts give the foundation for developing our creative thinking into the different creative arts. However, the similes are for the art not for the thoughts and the feelings. We can have same action, yet the thoughts and the feelings differ among us.
The actions are from the thoughts, but when these are for learning of art it is the imitation of the subtle, the level at which one uses the conscience to realize that imitation is not for duplicity, rather it is for the using the similes for the comparisons and the contrast. While learning to imitate one learns the differences, as the old man learns in the novel as a child, the holistic approach, and thus imitating goodness in the real, making the war for peace, the ability to find the contrast present in the imitation, the utility of the simile
