I looked at the carbon cycle and discovered that I did affect this cycle in ways that I had not imagined. Of course I was aware that I do produce carbon just by breathing and perspiring. There are other ways that I did produce carbon that were subtle and did affect the carbon cycle too. The carbon cycle is very important in maintaining a balance in our planet.

true nature helped Golding develop the characters in the book to revert back to a savage state as he saw during his time in service. William Golding’s life experiences during the war are also portrayed, such as his time served in the navy and food rationing in England.

Despite all the factors that could have kept them home, like gas rationing and children, women still joined the WLA in large numbers. Helen Tylee, a German Immigrant who knew firsthand the importance of food during wartime, also was patriotic about her farm work even though she was not a member of the WLA. Dorothy…
