The characterization of Simon shows that in the society of the Lord of the Flies, he represents essentially the good that tends to be overshadowed. From the beginning, Simon was cast aside as an insignificant member of the choir when he first faints and Jack says, "he's always throwing a faint" (Golding 13). Through this subtle dismissal, it is seen that Simon has been deemed unimportant. However later on, Simon is found to be one of the most helpful and useful out of the group when he helps…

Openness. I believe I am extremely open-minded, but I don’t actively seek out new experiences for the sake of participating in them. If my friend drops a bomb and suggests, “Hey, let’s go skydiving; I bought our tickets and booked everything for tomorrow morning,” I would welcome the idea. However, I would not go out of my way to put together an entire skydiving trip on a whim without telling anybody first. My openness is limited by rationality and priorities, as I am sure is the case for many…

During my trip to Ohio, I was also able to view a dress rehearsal of Handel’s Messiah performed by Heidelburg College choir in Tiffin, Ohio. This has always been one of my favorite musical pieces to see performed. I enjoy both instrumental and vocal performances, specifically pieces with a cappela. Heiedleberg college is a Christian institution which only adds to the dynamics of the piece. The conductor began performance by indicating the original performance date of April 1742 in Dublin,…

This course has and still is teaching me a lot about myself that I previously hadn’t put much thought in. In the beginning of the year when we were asked who we are most like, Apollo or Dionysus, I struggled and still struggle to pick one over the other. I see myself in both of these Gods.

I value order,…
