Set

If evil and irrationality are truly parts of human nature, they would be evident in society. For both Golding and Conrad, civilization seemed full of mankind’s evil. Golding commented that Lord of the Flies was his “attempt to trace the defects of society back to the defects of human nature” (Epstein 204). It is about the failure of civilization to overcome evil (Thapliyal and Kunwar 86). Civilization on the island seems to be in ruins, but the outside world is in much bigger shambles. The story somewhat parallels experiences that could have happened in Golding’s recent past— WWII. The boys are being evacuated from England, the parachutist most likely descends on the island from a war plane, and rescue on the island comes from a war ship. Piggy’s comment that “We was attacked!” lets the reader know that the outside world is at war (Golding 8). Roger throws pebbles at the littlun Henry with an “arm conditioned by a civilization that knew nothing of him and was in ruins” (Golding 62). On the island the mock civilization that the boys create is literally shattered with the conch (Thapliyal and Kunwar 88). If it was not clear enough that the reason for the downfall of civilization is man’s nature, Golding spells it out when he has the lord of the flies say, “I’m the reason it’s a no go? Why things are what they are?” (Golding 143, Thapliyal and Kunwar 88). In Heart of Darkness¬, Conrad very obviously compares the evils of Marlow’s story to the evils of imperialism and…

Horus’s story started out like Zeus’ in which they both were trying to hide and escape from death. In the beginning of the story, Set kills Horus’s father Osiris. So Isis, who is Horus’s mother, hides him from Set. So when Horus was young, “Isis brought Horus to an island in the papyrus swamps of the Nile delta. There she secretly nursed and reared her child” (Rosenberg 18). As Horus grew older he knew that someday he would find and save his father. Once he grew up he went on a journey to bring…

After drawing out a diagram of the classroom I am observing in for the first part of this narrative I realized after including everything on the drawing the organization of this classroom contributes to the academic and social growth of the diverse learners in the classroom. It is very important for a classroom like this to be set up the way it is presented especially for a small special ed class with only 7 students. One way the organization contributes to academic and social growth for…

She struggles to have kids because she’s married but in love with others’. She is in love with her brother, Geb, and Thoth, and she makes love to them. Ra gets very mad and upset and curses her from having children for any month of any year. This is hard for her and brings her sadness because she wants to be a mother, she asks Thoth “Is there anything you can do to help me? Surely, one of the children within me is yours!(Rosenberg 163)”. He tells her that he would find a way to help her through…

In the Osiris, Isis, and Horus story, the cycle of life is mainly represented by the life, death, and rebirth of Osiris. In a context of nature as well, since Osiris was considered the god of the Nile, it was said that when the river dried up and vegetation died, it symbolized the death of Osiris. The same way during spring, when vegetation started to grow and the Nile River flooded again, it represented the rebirth of the mentioned god. I believe Isis had more than one role. She was Mother and…

On activity 1.8 I helped my group members understand the handshake problem, which we first experimented with in a class activity. At first some of my group members wanted to just count the amount of people there were and multiply it by the amount of handshakes that each person would perform if they shook hands with every person. I realized the problem with using this method is that some handshakes would be performed twice, we wanted the amount of handshakes if each person shook hands with every…

Sarcophagus and Mummy of Taosir This wooden coffin, discovered in the ruins of the ancient city of Ipu holds the mummified body of Taosir, the daughter of Nesmin and Taamun, priestess of Osiris in the city of Ipu around 600 BC.

Summary of Activities Outside of our meeting on Sunday October 8th, I spent an hour looking up registration letters online, just to see what other examples are available. I was amazed at how many different registration styles there were. I coordinated with my classmates on clip art for the registration letter and downloaded the sample my professor uploaded for us. I completed the letter and I believe it’s perfect. I can’t wait for everyone to see it also. I’m also excited to see what my…

It’s first important to note what the word ‘Princeps’ means. It comes from ‘Princeps Senatus’, meaning ‘First among equals’, which gave an individual the privilege of being the first to speak in the Senate and being the first name on the roster. This title was used officially by Augustus (then Octavian) because it had no royal connotations. In actuality, Augustus had auctoritas (‘authority’) far greater than that of merely a Princeps. He was an Emperor, but he did not explicitly say so, for his…

A theatre set should: suggest the style and tone of the whole production create mood and atmosphere give clues as to the particular time and place of the action offer (showing the ability to create interesting new things) possibilities for the movement and grouping of the actors The set may also need to be designed so the backstage areas used by the actors and stage crew are kept out of sight from the audience. This will depend on the effect the director wants to create with the staging…
