In William Golding's novel The Lord of the flies, he shows many examples through symbolism of the power and evil that is within everyone, even the most innocent.

I have drawn a…

It was written to show how Goulding believes boys would act is put into a similar situation without adults present. Some of the boys who were part of the crash land are Ralph the leader, Piggy the intellectual one, and Jack and Roger the…

In my opinion, Ralph was an amazing leader, even though at times he had his flaws. If it wasn't for his leadership the time they spent on the island would have been way more chaotic. Though towards the end of the book his leadership started to decrease. I believe, his leadership started decreasing because all of the stress he was under, which started his flaws. But no one is perfect, everyone has their flaws, even leaders, and everyone h. Ralph had a lot of good qualities for being a leader.…

The structures of handling power can change people's image and perspectives. During the Lord of the Flies by William Golding tells the story of boys who get lost on a deserted island. Thus trying to survive without adult supervision and putting together a civil group. Then they boys end up going different way because of different perspectives of Ralph and Jack.

still follow their leader’s rules, some of them do it for their personal interest. Power always needs to be handling correctly, if not imbalances will create bad result. So, William Golding uses the destroying power of the conch in his symbolic novel Lord of the Flies, to show the theme of absolute power corrupts integrity and to represent the…

evident throughout the course of his novel Lord of the Flies. The novel centers around the journey of a group of schoolboys that find themselves resulting to savagery after being stranded on a desert island following a plane crash. Golding touches on the Christian aspect by having the boys worship a devil instead of a God, and eventually the devil controls the boys so much that they are unable to foresee a hope for rescue or redemption.

Some think of fire as fearful and bad, others think of it as technology and useful, in some cases it can be both. In the book by William Golding, Lord of the Flies it is both.

Ultimately fire is a huge symbol in the book as it symbolizes hope, distress, and relief. At the beginning of they story the symbol…

In the book The Hobbit, Tolkien incorporates topics that relates to other pieces of literary work, specifically the topic/theme of how no matter someone's background anyone can achieve something that they set their mind to.

“Gambling addicts tend to progress from losing all their money, then to losing all they can get from their family, and then from their friends, and finally to taking or stealing money from strangers.” In “The Man From The South”, by Roald Dahl the “man” was a gambler who had nothing to gamble, but instead used others items for his own “needs”. The story displayed irony in order to show trust. The “Man” was a gambler who talked to The “Boy” with a lighter. The “Man” had the “Boy” gamble his…

Squealer There are a few interesting characters in the novel animal farm, like Boxer, but squealer is my favorite. Squealer has a plausible tongue that could convince anyone to do anything. In addition to being very convincing he is equally clever and has a quick mind. Though squealer is the antagonist he is my favorite because he could persuade a nun out of her panties within a few minutes. In the novel the others said that squealer could, “turn black into white” meaning he could sway…
