Ironically, however, a somewhat unhappy ending in a novel is what can oftentimes create truly great and memorable literature. In The Lord of the Flies by William Golding, a happy ending gets further and further out of reach as the novel progresses. Many of the conflicts that arise reach a point where they can never truly be resolved. Yes, fortunately, the boys who were stranded on…

Either society kills to gain the upper hand or they get killed. Power knows how to manipulate mankind and gain dominance over it. Power makes society do atrocious things. In the book “Lord of the Flies” by William Golding, the island sees survivors from a plane crash so dreadful that no one would have been alive, but…

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.

“Coming, coming!” you hollered at through your apartment as you half jogged to the front door. You’d just put on your pajamas, and were just about ready for bed, so the knock at the door was a surprise. You pulled the door open, surprised to come face to face with Wonho. It had been a while since dinner at the Monsta X dorm and the two of you hadn’t spoken much. “Wonho? What are you doing here?” you asked. “We said we’d make plans for later,” he walked passed you, not waiting for an invitation…

world. There are many different Lord of the Rings games for different consoles and gaming devices. I would have to say that there are very few that I have not played or heard of, but the games meant more than just a waste of time, money, and brain power as some would argue. As a counter-argument, the games allowed for me to explore the world Tolkien created for myself and from many different viewpoints. The most memorable was a game titled Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II. My…
