In Lord of the Flies by William Golding, the boys’ actions are a manifestation of the inner savagery of an individual that surfaces when the society that they belong to has fallen. This is shown on page 181 through Jack’s violence towards Ralph after Piggy’s death. “The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee; the conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist. Viciously, with full intention, he hurled his spear at Ralph”(181). Jack expresses antagonism towards…

In Virginia, with its moderate climate and endless acres of moist, fertile soil, the early settlers soon found that almost any plant thrived best in the Chesapeake region. On the contrary the New England settlers had to endure a harsher climate where the fine rocky soils made farming difficult and many had to find new sources of income to survive. In addition to the obvious climatic differences between the Chesapeake and New England communities, there were also significant contrasts between each…

The National Football League has had its number of lockouts, the most recent and historically longest being in 2011. It lasted 132 days until an agreement was made between the players and owners. There are many aspects involved in reaching their agreement, however at the end of the day it comes down to money, $9 billion dollars annually to be exact. Back in 2006 the current agreement was set to expire but was extended by both the players and owners. In 2008 owners chose to opt out of the…

If I were asked to determine what Broadway show best represents my life, I would reply simply, Rent. Loosely adapted, my role would be to portray main character Roger Davis . I say this because Rodger and I are similar in the way that we both have a hard time coming up with new and original content. While Rogers issue revolves around his music, my issue is with essays. Ironically, we both know new material is necessary for our occupations, but due to certain circumstances we are both unable to…

“High Hopes” by the iconic band Pink Floyd was released in 1994 and remains a huge fan favorite of many classic rock listeners. David Gilmour is the singer and song- writer for Pink Floyd and has had a very successful music career. Like most of Pink Floyd’s songs, the rhythm of “High Hopes” is very slow and calming but conveys some of life’s harsh truths. This powerful song illustrates society’s unrelenting quest to pursue the perfect life that God intended but hampered by the uncontrollable…

To be a hero, supernatural powers are not required. Television falsifies unrealistic power and strength. A human being or even an animal can be a hero. If someone were to do a good deed, that significant person would be the hero of the day towards the help. For example, if a woman donates some food, a blanket, and new clothing along with a pair of sneakers to a homeless man, she would be the hero in the man 's eyes. The woman has surely saved him and given him relief from his suffering. With…

My Northern Michigan Adventure Every year my family and I go up to our favorite place, Rogers City Michigan. Rogers City is a small town at the edge of Michigan right on the water. It is a place to relax and unwind for a while. The small city offers quaint shops, delicious places to eat and friendly people. We stay right on the shores of Lake Huron just outside of Rogers city. Where the waves crash and the sand beckons you to come frolic in the sun. The days leading up to the trip are almost on…

Following the emotion Clark makes the audience feel, Clark writes,“commissioner Roger Goodell had to address the matter before the season’s first Monday Night Football game in Washington, saying, ‘ What is it we can do to try to ensure those hits don’t occur?’” (Clark 1) Here Clark is borrowing credibility. This shows the audience what…

The issue I will discuss is spies by Lewis H. Lapham. My whole life I’ve wondered if there are people who live in the shadows that gather information on our country’s enemies and even spy on the average citizen. I think every person should be concerned with being spied on it’s an invasion of privacy and breaks the rights we have as humans. It bothers me that there is a group of people that knows everything yet we only get told what they want us to know. The two main articles I will discuss are…
