Masks of Chaos and Evil “He was safe from shame or self-consciousness behind the mask of his paint and could look at each of them in turns.” (140) Throughout the course of the novel, it is apparent how the characters change from young innocent boys into murderous savages while stranded on an isolated island. These boys are no older than 14, but everyone, no matter how young, has an inner beast. Some people, like the boys in the novel, allow that beast inside to temporarily come out when they feel there will be no punishment. In William Golding’s The Lord of the Flies, facepaint is symbolic of chaos and evil that erupts because of the loss of morality while being concealed behind the self-assuring “masks” of society. The characters Golding portrays…
the universe and mankind began. In the Ovid’s Metamorphoses, the creation of mankind was looked at from a completely different approach than Hesiod’s. The definition of Hesiod’s Theogony is about “the births of the gods”. For Hesiod he states “ In truth at first Chaos came to be”, is something that lacked a sense of order; for mankind. The Definition of Metamorphoses is, striking changes of form and structure into another. Which shows that Ovid believed mankind was formed by something and…
The universe is ever-expanding and constantly growing. The world relies on systems, structures, and patterns-- in which explanations and interpretations are often sought after. Mathematics becomes the solution and discovery that humanity seeks, in which it then can elaborate on the unknown, mysteries, and the incomprehensible. The existence of mathematics is a subtle thing; functioning quietly throughout our daily lives. Moreover, mathematics weaves itself within various aspects of our natural…
Not only are there two commas forcing the reader to pause, but the enjambment in the lines creates a short unnatural pause between clauses. The consonants play a similar role, the transition from the r in never to the s in slowing is difficult, as is the case in the phrase ‘knowing [pause] the’. The pace of the lines has no correlation to the action that it claims. The tone of this poem is rather gloomy, the figure in the poem has no hope, claiming that people “might as well take a leap and try…

they are away from equilibrium, stable, state. At this state, members of organization have freedom to experiment new things and this disorder can feed new discoveries.

intimidate me. “I have 15 people, and I’m immortal. It’s obvious who wins, I have won 8 rating games, what have you done?” now this was getting hilarious, I retort, “Hmm, 8 fights, I have killed God, mauled two of your Devil Kings, annihilated the Chaos Space Marines, reduced the Chaos Gods to mere lesser daemons, destroyed the tyranids as an effective fighting force, and gouged out the Eye of Terror.” Most of the people in the room outside of Sirzechs, were shocked that I had committed deicide…
Taylor Mac was unlike anything I have ever seen at Mass MoCA. I’ve seen other work-in-progress performances (Big Dance Theater and another Sundance Theater performance, I believe), but it was hard to believe that this particular performance was work in progress. The entire show was planned so beautifully and Taylor Mac, was so easily adaptable that, despite his claims of it not being a polished show, everything that happened on the stage seemed intentional and very fitting. It made all five…
A unitary form of government is a country that is run by a single person or group of people who makes all the decisions, laws, and policies for the entire country. This means they adopt federal laws that will also apply to municipals. Would it make sense for the federal government to create laws regarding garbage collection, street signs or local public transportation? So why should they have all the power? Ergo, the power to make laws should be decentralized to the provincial governments…
