The Truman Show Question:In what ways, if any, does Truman’s relationship with his perceived world differ from that of a normal human being's?

There are many ways that Truman's relationship's with his perceived world differs from that of a normal human being's. The first is the fact that he is watched 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year, by millions of people, across the globe, even before the day he was born. For a normal human being, that will probably never happen on purpose. A person may be filmed by chance on some news report, but that's it. Another way Truman's world is different, is that not everyone lives in a gigantic dome, where everyone who "inhabits" this place are payed actors. In our world, we have normal human beings who interact with each other, either by need or want, and they never get payed. In Truman's world, there is also utter control over "so-called-natural phenomenons". At any time, the control personal can put on a hurricane or a drought, by just pressing a button or two. In our world, the only way we can try to control the weather is by an invention using chemistry , where one can try to induce rain fall but it doesn't always work. In this very long time running show, the director can, and sometimes even will, do anything to make Truman do a certain action. For example, when Truman's father "drowns" and Truman gets a fear of water, or when Truman meets an angry dog while trying to run away from home. The Director can, in Truman's world, act as a God over what Truman may do, but he can't control what Truman feels or thinks. In our world, we do have laws, but we can still do what we want and feel we want to do, and nobody can totally control what we feel and how we act. We also have to take responsibility for our own decisions. So in conclusion, Truman's relationship with his perceived world differs a lot from the world of a normal human being.
