seemingly endless cycle. In a book called Lord of the Flies by William Golding, a group of kids are stranded on an isolated island, which brings out their true selves, some being chaotic and savage, others being logical and orderly. The island is divided into two groups, The Hunters; a large group of savages that only wanted to play, hunt, and ignore rules, and those who just wanted to get home. In the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare, a seemingly good character gets enticed, and persuaded by…

William Golding exemplifies this occurrence in Lord of the Flies with the use of his characters and their actions. For instance, the author shows the boys using Robert as a pig, and Jack becoming more obsessed with the pig and later killing the sow.…
Human Nature is Brutal In William Golding’s Lord of Flies, a group of British boys was on an isolated island, and after a few days with quarrels and fights between the boys, most of them finally survive.

We young folks in Cusco were very much concerned with poetry as much as Bolano’s visceral realists did in Mexico City but unlike them, Octavio Paz was not our enemy. We loved discussing the labyrinth of solitude but It was the poetry of Cesar Vallejo, Arguedas, Garcilazo that matter to us. It reflected our Andean traits. Cusquenhos are different from coastal Peruvians. We are because of our cultural traits. We are visual, silent, introverts, stoic and very much good listeners and enjoy jokes…

The Sprouting Seed “What are we? Humans? Or animals? Or savages?” (Golding 91). This quote is used in Lord of the Flies, at a meeting about the beast.

Fear converts the boys into cold-hearted savages. In the middle of a war, a plane full of young boys crashes on an unknown island leaving them alone with…
