    It is commonly known that trauma and tragedy will typically cause change in the mental state of a person, and two people going through the same event will most likely not react in the same way. William Golding’s novel, Lord of the Flies, provides a good argument for this. Several of the characters, such as Jack, Ralph, and Piggy go through noticeable changes in personality and sanity throughout the course of the book, but one of the characters that experiences the most prominent change is Simon. Golding’s character of Simon is described as a boy that is small in stature and large in thought. William Golding was in the Royal Navy during WWII, which likely resulted in seeing a fair share of PTSD.…

    Mr Holland's Opus Analysis

    There was only one parent that could communicate with Cole and that was his mother, Mrs. Holland. Mr. Holland becomes easily frustrated with Cole because all he wants is for him to have the same passion for music as he does. However, I believe that this is why Mr. Holland feels the need to engage more with his students than Cole because he feels that his students can actually understand how much he appreciates music. In my opinion, this is where all Mr. Holland’s time is consumed rather than where it should be. I can see why Mr. Holland isolates himself from his family, but Cole is his son, and that is where his main priority should be.…
