When you were little you might have been asked to find the purpose, or lesson behind a story. Such as in If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, the lesson teaches you the meaning of the statement, “If you give someone an inch they’ll take a mile.” In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the lesson teaches you the saying “it’s easy to stand with the crowd; it takes courage to stand alone.” People view ideas differently, therefore not everyone loves cheesecake; in the same regard not everyone will have the same opinions and beliefs. In this novel the main character, Huckleberry Finn, didn’t quite believe in what everyone else did.…

Brian Joseph Professor Harmon English 9-2 23 November 2017 Bad Happens to the Well-Intentioned Lord of The Flies embodies many themes, but none is so special as the one that related to me the most. In the 1954 novel, Lord of the Flies, author William Golding uses symbolism, dialogue, irony, and foreshadowing to illuminate the gloomy truth that people who have good intentions and follow what they believe to be right, especially when unpopular, will be misunderstood, misjudged, and sadly, punished. Ralph, Piggy, and Simon fall under the category of “well-intentioned people.”…
It was a shock to all present. Standing Bear stood and held out his hand, waiting for the room to fall silent. When the absence of noise became present, Standing Bear directed his vision and words to Judge Dundy and calmly stated “That hand is not the color of yours; but if I prick it, the blood will flow and I should feel pain.

The death of Piggy and Simon, the complete disarray of the children, and all of the emotions spilling out of the the boys, all are examples backing up the fact of how utterly horrible the society depicted by William Golding actually was. This is how Golding saw our society. Not listening to the most intelligent people, killing for no reason, unorganized and chaotic, and ignoring very serious issues. This is the brutal and unforgiving side of society that Golding sees. The thing is, no matter how much people may try to ignore and forget about them, these are very real and serious…

As a child I was like Goldy Locks who liked to go into complete stranger’s houses to see how they lived and eat their food and lay in their beds. Maybe it is a normal desire that every kid has which is why it is a theme that was converted into a fairy tale that has become wildly popular. To be honest, I wasn't deterred the least in spying into other peoples private worlds even upon reading of Goldy Lock's horrifying encounter of being caught taking a nap by a family of bears... Guess that didn't strike me as something that I'd be likely to encounter in the real world Going into perfect strangers properties and eating their food is something I do actually from time to time, its actually quite enjoyable and impacts my perspective... I do…
Golding's portrayal of bullying is correct, because intimidation and seeming like the bigger person to a victim has always been used as a tactic in bullying., and Lord of the Flies. The tactic was to silence the victims for them to be intimidated so they wouldnt "squeal" about what they are doing or saying to the victim. The forced choice of not telling anyone or not showing up to school just to avoid be bullied. The difference between bullying now and Lord of the Flies is that Jack Merridew and Piggy is that their on a island but the relation is that Jack humiliates and belittles Piggy in front of others so in that situation others would feel free to join in the bully Piggy or feel empathy and to intruded on the situation. The cause of bullying…

Fairy tales originally were used as a means to pass the time for adults doing tedious manual labor all day long.…

Perrault version of Cinderella Vs the Grimm brothers’ version of Cinderella. “Fairy tale” is the term also used to describe something containing unusual happiness, like “fairy tale ending” a happing ending, or “fairy tale romance”, though not all fairy tales have a happy ending. According to Arthur Schlesinger, classical tales “tell children what they unconsciously know-that human nature is not innately good, that conflict is real, that life is harsh before it is, happy-and thereby reassure them about their own fears and their own sense of self” (229). Despite the fact that both Perrault and the Grimm brothers versions of Cinderella are fundamentally similar to each other, but the differences between them show two different moral universes.…
