problem. War is described as a violent, chaotic conflict that involves two or more parties, and those parties can range from small groups of people to entire nations. The war of the Falkland Islands is one of the never ending number of conflicts the world has seen. Disputes over the ownership of three islands in the coast of Argentina caused friction between them and the United Kingdom, thus leading to a war. While not full-scale, the war was rather a violent one. When examining…

Lord of the Flies by William Golding is set on an island located in the midst of the Pacific or Indian ocean. A group of children crashes here and is required to work together to survive with no adults in sight. They thus decide upon a leader and an order, yet this begins to collapse as reason fades from the group and a newly found savagery remains. The havoc that envelops the island slowly develops across the story as the children lose focus on their priorities, and suddenly they all turn to…

first discovered by Polynesians in the island of Ni‘ihau (the forbidden island). The Ni’ihau community is what I will be focusing on in this paper, since it is known to be the first island in Hawaii that was Goddess Pele’s first home (Ni`ihau Cultural Heritage Foundation). After the islands were inhabited by the early Polynesians, Kahelelani was known to become the first great “ali‘i” (chief) of the island of Ni‘ihau.

The absence of a meaningful plot, of objective dialogues and of absolute certainty is the state of absurdity. Beckett utilizes absurdity to play around with the concept of existential nullity which saw man trapped in a hostile world. Human life is meaningless and this created a sense of alienation, despair and…

The year was 1585, when those men came—or should I even call them that. For they were not men, the were monsters. In the town of Werowocomoco (present day capital city of Virginia) lived us, the Secotans. The territory in which we lived in—Wingandacoa—was bounded by the Pamlico River and Albermarle Sound. In our town, there was a long narrow road which held 11 houses, fields—in which we grew corn, tabacco, and sunflower—watched by someone on a stand, a charnel house, dance ground, and communal…
