End of the Spear

The Fight for What Is Right Morals guide people throughout life and its challenging circumstances. People rely on their sense of morality to remain constant so that they can determine what is good and what is evil. However, the ever changing environment provides new circumstances that often conflict with a person’s seemingly unbreakable morals. The boys in Lord of the Flies by William Golding undergo traumatic experiences that put their morality to the test. In Lord of the Flies, the struggle…

could catch and eat. He spends hours and hours making a “fish spear”. He was dependent upon himself to provide the fish for him to eat, and when he tested it, it didn’t work. Brian was very disappointed at this. He kept on throwing it at the fish in the water, but the spear seemed to go directly through them and not even phase them. He tried and tried all day, only to catch nothing. He assumed that he couldn’t project the spear fast enough, and sought out a bow. He attempted to make a…

the hole. They jabbed it inside of the hole and coaxed it to grab the spear, as soon as it tried they would snatch it and bite the brain to kill it. Remembering this I tried it out for myself, first jabbing the hole then waiting and watching for the limbs of the tako to try and pry it out of himself. As soon as I saw those limbs rap around the spear at one last attempt to live I grabbed all eight of his tentacles. Pulling the spear just to see it looking back at me, taking no time as one of the…

From rereading this poem “The Tyger” by William Blake multiple times. I can see that this poem is all about him asking this majestic, beast which resembles a tiger, many different questions about it. To start off, this poem is using four quatrains which contains two rhyming couplets in each. It also contains seven syllables in each line besides for this phase “Could frame thy fearful, symmetry” which contains eight syllables in it. Here the rhyming couplets are used as a sense of repetition,…

of themselves everything had started well then it became chaotic. The end of innocents all started with the brutal killing of a momma pig . The boys had been stalking the pig and planning to hunt her . They had ran after her while throwing spears until she was down . “she squealed and bucked and the air was full of sweat and noise and blood and terror.” (Golding 135) The boys had kept torturing her by pushing the spear deeper into her . The momma pigs squealed almost seemed to excite the…

comparable to football and baseball games because all the families and friends would come to cheer on their favorite player. Each player carved a piece of wood into a spear shape with a curved end. Then, the player would put in notches to make it easier to throw. The shape and size would differ with the age and skill level of the player. This spear would be the “snake”. The two teams would drag a log through the snow to form a trough for the “snakes” to slide through.…

Macedonian way of war. One of Philip’s great contributions was to create the army with which Alexander conquered the Persian Empire. He was the first Macedonian King to rearm the Macedonian infantry with a sarissa a long spear 18 feet long, nearly twice as long as the usual spear carried by the usual Greek infantry known as hoplites. In rearming the Macedonian army Philip had to do two things first he had to devise new systems of tactics and weapons and the armaments his innovations reflected a…

I think of myself as an assertive personality but open to various opinions but the end goal was to complete the task. Through my research, I have found how beneficial it can be to take on the qualities of a servant leader. I feel that it is often forgotten that employees are people and want to be treated as if they matter to their leader…

throws stones at another boy, Henri though he does not hit him because Henri is still protected by the morals and rules Roger has from his old life. The boys “Got his arms and legs. Ralph, carried away by a sudden thick excitement, grabbed Eric’s spear and jabbed at Robert with it.”, (Golding 125). This “game” as they call it wakes the beast within the boys. They crave the same rush of adrenaline they get from hunting pigs, but as we soon learn human blood becomes more of a prize than pig’s…

seem like a hero. However, this is not the case. In fact, most of the people the stories are not heroic at all, and are just normal people with gods and goddesses holding their hands throughout the battle, or their own brethren walking them to the end zone so they can score the touchdown. In short, the Greek “heroes” of Greek mythology are just regular people, who are being smiled upon and protected by the gods and goddesses, or are being led to the heroic deed by their men like a dog doing…
