The question I will be answering is the one concerning journeys. We have read and discussed in class a few stories that deal with journeys. The three that I will be looking at are, Asleep in the Lord, Artificial Nigger, and Remains of the Day. The story Asleep in the Lord follows a man named Mitchel, who traveled to India to help in a Mother Teresa house. He is a man that has been traveling for some time trying to find a place where he can feel like he is making a difference and belongs. In the story, it says,” Before arriving in India, Mitchell had traveled for four months, visiting three continents and nine countries, but Calcutta felt like the first real place he’d been” (pg. 89). This is the evidence for Mitchel’s literal journey, but there is something more to it. I think that he is on a journey to better himself. Later, in the story we see evidence for…

Glorifying the Lord! That is the main objective in my life. Following, trusting and listening to our Lord, Jesus Christ, is how I will accomplish this amazing gift of grace and mercy that I have been given as an adopted daughter of the Lord. I have been called to do something amazing in my life, not sure how it will all play out, but returning to college to reach a higher level of education is the path He has for me. I’m trusting God to reveal blessings and show me what I can do for Him with…

Hearing the name J.R.R. Tolkien strikes a chord within nearly everybody. He was the infamous writer, author of the Hobbit, and later in his life The Lord of The Rings. Tolkien also battled alongside many other soldiers in World War I, which begs the question if his works are related to the war or if they are merely an escape from the horrors of war. William Golding, another famed author, fought similarly in World War II and his first work, The Lord of the Flies was based around the fact.…

What are all the central themes within the book? First In his afterword to Lord of the Flies, E.L. Epstein claims that the Lord of the Flies is “the central symbol itself” (205). Do you agree that this Beelzebub character is indeed the most significant symbol in Golding’s book? If so, why does Golding choose to include the Lord of the Flies in his novel? What function does it serve in the text? If not, what is the most important symbol in Lord of the Flies? The conch? Piggy’s glasses? Lord of…

The difference between vassal and lord shows the ranking of power, and the foundation for feudal relationships of medieval history. Idealised views of feudalism represent honorable agreements between a lord and his vassal or vassals in which they both offered their loyalties to one another in exchange for land and services that were usually military in nature. Instead the Agreement between Count William V of Aquitaine and Hugh IV of Lusignan translated by Paul Hyams of Cornell University,…

The evil that is naturally in mankind stops them from forming a peaceful society, many things go wrong because of disagreements between the boys.

Can you imagine being stranded on an island alone only with a group of kids and no adults? What would you do if you were in that situation? Do you think you would stay calm and in control? Well, in The Lord of the Flies this is the reality of a group of boys, fighting for their lives and dealing with insanity. Their inner beast showed then and it was inevitable. What do you think?
