There are many symbolisms in Lord of the Flies. Today I will tell you the three most important: Piggy (and his glasses), The Conch and Clothing. I will list the events in the story in which the symbol plays an important part and its importance to the book. Piggy and (and his glasses), it’s a simple symbol. They are intended to look though and looking= vision, vision= sight= a metaphor for knowledge. Piggy knows things the other boys don't, like how to use the conch, and the necessity for laws…

“The magic happens when you step outside your comfort zone.” This proverb sums up everything I went through when I recently attended the Air Force Academy’s Summer Seminar in July. While there, I was pushed well beyond my limits. We, the attendees, did strenuous physical training sessions at roughly a mile above sea level, woke up before the sun rose, attended sample classes, and studied tons of military knowledge while learning about the Air Force Academy and the admission process. It was…

Surely if a 4-year-old could complete the task, high school students could too? Many teenagers are going into college unprepared and usually end up dropping out. In order to change this and have teenagers prove their courageousness and…

I was recently gifted "H1Z1 - King Of The Kill" by a friend of mine. Personally, my thoughts about the game before today were generally negative. I could only compare it to "PLAYERUNKNOWN BATTLEGROUNDS", better known as PUBG. I bought myself PUBG because it was openly considered by the community as a superior game. I actually was planning on buying KOTK, but I learned about PUBG the same day and decided to hold out until release. Of course, this review isn't about PUBG, but I am going to use it…

On June 14th, 1775 the congressional army was formed and George Washington was elected the commander in chief. In the mid 1900s, the US military split into the separate branches: the Air Force, Navy, and Army. The career began to defend United States soil and the principles of the United States. Over time, the career changed from the entire United States military to just a single branch. During World War II, the Gi Bill was introduced.

I attended S-V80-A (Combat Survival School), S-V90-A (Non-Parachuting Water Survival School), and S-V83-A (Special Survival School) - also called SERE 220 and put on by JPRA. Later I moved to Offutt AFB, NE to help stand up the new AFTAC detachment for the WC-135 mission. During my time as an SEO, I…

The articles “Huntington’s Disease”, from NYTimes.com, “The DNA Age”, by Amy Harmon, and “Fearing Punishment for Bad Genes”, by Kira Peikoff, define the characteristics and symptoms of Huntington’s disease, and also demonstrate the positive and negative results for receiving genetic testing. The article “The DNA Age” focuses more on Pathos, or the emotional side of the argument, and therefore was more interesting and heart-wrenching than the other two. “Huntington’s Disease” and “Fearing…

coming his way and nails the blacktop of Bravo rd and Rex hits the ground hard. Rex was out for a while until about twenty minutes later he wakes up and see’s burning trees and houses also out of the corner of his eye troops of Japanese soldiers parachuting out of a plane. He feels as if someone is banging the back of his head with a metal chair, and there is a cut in his arm as long as a ruler, as he watches the bright orange and yellow fire dancing in the thick smoke. Once he sees all of…

Hitler successfully infiltrated the front by parachuting in spies. The infiltrators spoke fluent English and wore U.S. uniforms. They confused the troops by giving false directions, modifying road signs and disabling telephone…
