Simon says

I believe one of the greatest gifts we have as Christians is the freedom to be authentic about who we are; scars, skeletons, and all. We know that our only evaluation, the only judgement that actually matters, comes from The Lord. And we know that The Lord sent His son, Jesus, in response to the conditions of our hearts and very being. Jesus came to save because He knew we needed a Savior. Clearly, God knows our hearts. Every piece that exists in us, He has known from the beginning. To be true…

approach (Grinstead, Snell, & Grinstead, 2006). Thirdly, Priori Probabilities are a representation of probabilities that are objective and based on deduction and reasoning about a particular case. That explains why in one instance one may forecast say a 60 percent likelihood of an event occurring and at the same time forecast a 40 percent likelihood of a contrary event occurring (Grinstead, Snell, & Grinstead, 2006). For instance, the probability that it will rain tomorrow may raise another…

the occasion and becomes responsible and looks out for the best interest of the boys, the other is irresponsible and looks out for his own immediate needs. This can be seen when Jack uses fear to manipulate the boys when he explains to them about Simon and “the tribe considered this and then were shaken” (Golding 160) and feeds off of their reactions. Jack does not let the boys face their fears with rationality, he instead instructs them to “do [their] dance” (Golding 151) which is a prime…

The events that took place in the novel like the murder of Simon, the pig, and the boar demonstrated Jack’s evolution as a character. Jack and the choir boys killed a pig for the first time, but though they had killed a living creature, Jack felt excited, and proud as he retold the story of how they killed the pig…

From the very beginning of the novel, it is Piggy who is the most ridiculed out of all of the boys, mocked for his "nickname," weight, "ass-mar," glasses, and his accent by everyone, sans Simon and Ralph (although he in the beginning was often found saying "sucks to your auntie" and "sucks to your ass-mar"), yet he is the one who's assessing the situations and generating the ideas for survival and rescue.

annoyed with each other and use vulgar language in their car. Continuing, social media provides a “mask.” In this era of social media, online dating, and cell phones, people have developed multiple personalities. The internet gives the opportunity to say things that would not be said if face to face with someone. Bullyingstatics.org states, “Over 80 percent of teens use a cell phone regularly, making it the most popular form of technology and a common medium for cyber bullying”. Lastly,…

order and peace. By identifying with Piggy, the reader feels significant because they know they are making a difference. Similarly, the reader also identifies with Simon. Simon is morally good, and he rejects the dark savagery that lurks within all the boys (Golding). The reader wishes to have these qualities, so by identifying with Simon they have these, thus making the reader feel significant. Even though Jack has resorted to his primal self in the book, some readers can identify with him too.…

As Simon (2003) stated in “Sports, Relativism, and Moral Education,” This current controversial event on “Is Caster Semenya Playing Fair?” (Jamie Strashin, CBC Sports, Posted: Aug 08, 2017 9:08 AM ET, Last Updated: Aug 08, 2017 4:12 PM ET) demonstrates an example of sport as an excellent tool for moral education. When looking at sport through a philosophical lens, the three criteria of good moral reasoning should be applied: 1) impartial position 2) systematically consistent position 3)…

Picking the most essential parts of a story can be very difficult. You can easily change the entire message of a book by just changing a few lines, especially with a story as classic and as meaningful as The Lord of the Flies. In the novel, The Lord of the Flies by William Golding, a group of young boys become stranded on an island without any adults after their plane crashes.
