What, ultimately, is the message of Lord of the Flies? Through his novel, Lord of the Flies, Golding manages to portray the adamantine link between human savagery and civilization by proposing they occur simultaneously; they can be obscure or one can predominate the other but neither can be extinguished completely. Starting off with depicting the civilized part of the boys as more dominant and eventually settling into a state of savagery illustrated by Jack’s rule, Golding plays with the human…

My first prediction is, that Mr. Baggins will go on this adventure. I…

The story has some really great characters and is also written in a very interesting manner. “Also, went on Gandalf, “I forgot to mention that with the map went a key, a small and curious key. Here it is!” Keep it safe!” (Tolkien: Chapter 9-10).These words make us understand that Gandalf had great confidence in Bilbo as he gives him significant responsibility during the entire war that these dwarves have with the goblins. Gandalf is also the main character that brings in Bilbo as the hero by…
