Pit of despair

In Lord of the Flies, William Golding claims that two impulses exist in all human beings. The desire to live by the rules, and follow their everyday morals and the urge to become savages and hunt to survive. When the children first landed on the island, most of them agreed that order was needed. They all complied at the beginning and established their leader and their rules. Their conch at the island brought order and power to the individual holding it and it became a symbol of authority at the island (Golding 22). Their morals and commendable behavior were abandoned when the conch was shattered and completely destroyed during one of their vicious scuffles. Their only dependence for order and authority had vanished and this is when the trouble began. When the boys savage and immoral behavior begins to unravel at the end of the novel, the reader can identify that these actions and behaviors are being caused by their inadequate and dreadful environment. In my opinion the children were greatly affected by the circumstances they were in and their surroundings. I believe it would be extremely difficult to stay sane in a situation like this. You are stranded in an unknown location, uninhibited and with people you are not familiar with, and as a grown woman I know I would have had a hard time dealing with these circumstances let alone these young children. When the urge to survive overpowers the need to make progress as an organized and morally trustworthy group, sides are to be…

In my opinion, fifteenth-century Europe is an inspiring chapter to read. Not only because of the remarkable artworks, but also because of the fact that many people in this period rose to power through their own accomplishments instead of inheritance. One of the famous paintings during this time that caught my attention is the portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and a woman standing next to him who is believed by many as his wife. What interests me about this is the number of different interpretations…

Allowing one of your employees dogs to enter into the work place could cause another employee quit , distract them from their…
