    Argument- People are never truly satisfied with themselves. Always trying to one up what they have and not focusing on the items, physical and mental, which they already have. There for people who do this are always in limbo, always on the run trying satisfy there next desire when it comes.

    Claim- Blanche in streetcar named desire showcases through out the play that she is satisfied with her self, always trying to obtain the next big thing. When she could'nt obtain what she wanted she fabricated a make belive world around the make her self belive she had confidence. The lyrics "isn't life under the sun just a crazy dream?
    isn't life just a mirage of the world before the world?
    why am i here and not over there?
    where did time begin
    where does space end
    where do you and i begin?" from the song stillness is the move by the dirty projectors best descirbes blanche.

    Quote- "on top of every mountain
    there was a great longing
    for another even higher mountain"
    in each city longing for a bigger city
