to communicate. They are; the ability to work together, Jack and Ralph’s quest for power, and determination. The ability to work together is a major theme is Lord of the Flies. Without it, the boys on the island would have a much lower chance of survival. When the boys first crash on the island, they find a conch shell. Whoever has the conch shell is the only one who can speak at that time. Ralph uses it to call the boys, “We can use this to call the others. Have a meeting. They’ll come when…

freezing there was no way he was going to beat it. These are examples of naturalism because they show survival of the fittest and he was clearly not the fittest because he did not use determination to keep him alive thus…

When was the last time a fashion statement saved your life? The answer is most-likely never, but in the last day of Survivor camp, that’s exactly the moment the castaways will be preparing for. Paracord bracelets are both accessories and survival tools for outdoor recreationists. Practical, colorful and arguably, even stylish, these symbols of outdoor lifestyle allow you to carry 10 ft. of cordage right on your wrist, cord that can be used as a shoelace, a can koozie, to build a raft, construct…

Survival of the Fittest in Literature When many think of the term ‘survival of the fittest,’ the image of a violent struggle comes to mind, of which the strongest opponent survives. While this is an example of the concept, it does not define it. Being the ‘fittest’ can mean being the smartest, best camouflaged, or even most cooperative. This explains how some species, such as humans, have stopped growing in size and instead grow intellectually. Furthermore, both Bret Harte’s “The Outcasts…

Unfortunately the statistics in this domain too paint a grim picture. Results indicate that ‘Indigenous Australians have considerably lower numeracy and literacy levels than the non-Indigenous population, significantly higher school absenteeism rates, and lower school completion outcomes’ (Bandias et al., 2013, cited in Cuervo et al., 2015, p.8). Additionally, the situation in regional and remote communities is even worse. On the one hand there is a general decline in the quality of education in…

It was December of 2004 in Aceh, Indonesia, and Richard Lewis was 60 year old author living in Bali, Indonesia. Richard Lewis longed to write a story to represent the lesson, be cooperative and show teamwork. As a volunteer after the tsunami took place, Richard Lewis was able to witness with his own eyes, the misery and destruction after a major disaster that affected many innocent lives. One historical fact is that Lewis knew about how many people were killed from this tragedy. About 228,000…

Often times, when we hear the term, “survival of the fittest,” we associate it with animals and how they have taken advantage of their evolutionary timeline. Even though the term might imply that the animal most “fit” would be more likely to survive, it is not in the sense of how physically fit they are. According to Charles Darwin, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” But in the world of science fiction, would…

universe - a native way of knowing the highlights the environment’s importance. The Thanksgiving Address is a powerful method of teaching, giving thanks to the natural world by proclaiming “mutual allegiance as human delegates to the democracy of species” (116). An indigenous way of knowing, and being, is how to stand up in a peaceful way. A contemporary example of indigenous resistance and values is the Dakota Access Pipeline at Standing Rock. Native children and…

R v. Marshall is a landmark decision regarding Indigenous treaty rights and the right to fish. The single case consisted of two decisions: R v Marshall (No 1) [1999] 3 S.C.R. 456 and R v Marshall (No 2) [1999] 3 S.C.R. 533. The accused in the case, Donald Marshall, was a Mi’Kmaq Indian who was charged with three offences found in the federal fishery regulations: Fishing without a license, selling eels without a license, and fishing during the close season. In the first decision, the Supreme…

films, Survival of the Dead isn't actually all that bad. It's a far better film than its predecessor Diary of the Dead, at least in my opinion. Returning the standard third person perspective and adopting a more humorous approach, Survival isn't a seemingly endless slog. The films tone is probably the lightest of the Dead films, which at times does push over the border of funny, to simply camp pander. Though we also get a slew of like-able, though not often relate-able characters. Survival…
