Primal cut

similar decay of character and judgment occurs in Lord of the Flies. The boys in the novel start as being proper British boys but, their judgment corrodes and what is left is their most primal id. The turning point for Jack Merridew is when he makes his first kill. Golding shows the turning point in Jack by stating, “‘ I cut the pig’s throat,’ said Jack, proudly, and yet twitched as he said it.”, (Golding 69). Jack, an eleven year old boy would have never done this in his old life, but since he…

“May I?” Caides looked up from the day’s notes, reiterating several ideas in his workbooks. A Radiant – one from the meetings – beckoned towards the open seat. The sentinel nodded, returning to work. The silence was comfortable, the clergyman ordering something to eat then resuming his seat. Caides’ eyes flicked up every now and then to examine him; the Radiant sat easy in his simple clothing, the insignia of his cult on his chest. A peculiar mark sat on each shoulder of the smock, a triangle…

Although, much like the rest of her is turning out to be, she is not sounding quite like I'd expected. Instead of the Viking stereotype I envisioned when hearing her primal, berserker grunt. Though I must admit, for all the femininity I can trace in this voice, there is still more power behind it than any other I've listened too over the years. Hmm, seems as though she has conserved what is left of her strength for her…

“Screw you, Abellona!” My mama shouted, scolding her with an anger so primal, so intense, that I had never seen anything like it ever come out of her before. It had frightened me and yet made me proud. I looked down at my mama’s feet where Midnight now stood, her back arched, fangs drawn and letting out a seething rear aimed squarely at Abellona. Not far from her was another cat as equally angered and ready for a rumble. Off to my right, Tucker and Owen still struggled with subduing…

In Chinese Mythology: An Introduction the author Anne Birrell states that in the myth, “the goddess [Nu Kua] has been demoted from primal creatix to a mortal subservient to God in Heaven (T’ien, and also a lowly female subservient to the male, in the traditional manner of marital relations” (ICM, 34). This is because Nu Kua has another myth, Nuwa Molding Mud, where she is a Great Mother…

I love football. I live for the anxious feeling I get as I wait for each play, for the rush of adrenaline I feel when my Eagles enter the red zone. I am drawn in by their season-long crusade, and eagerly cheer them on through each new battle. They light a fire within me whenever they play. Every Sunday a similar blaze tears across our nation, capturing our attention and commanding us to watch our gridiron gladiators. We can’t get enough of football—of our unquestionably, distinctly American…

Each with two legs, arms, and one head destined to look for their other half for as long as they lived. So when the two beings found each other they can get married and become one again…

on every social media platform. Students today have more obstacles in front of them for getting an education than ever before. They have real needs that need to be met. According to Maslow 's Hierarchy of Needs, a person needs to have their basic, primal needs met before they can worry about higher needs. This means that a student needs to feel safe, and not be hungry, for example, before they can worry about higher level thinking. The purpose of public education is…

Whether by choice or to circumstance, Soviet Russia’s Cold War generations were born to a nuclear bomb, raised under the constant threat of war, and seemed doomed to die of the stagnation caused by their own government, until they were emancipated by a life force that was as formidable as unlikely a savior. This paper discusses the role of the Beatles and their music in the cultural, political and social unification of successive generations of Cold War Russians, and how contemporary Russia has…
