Both Golding and Beah illustrate how society can collapse due to terror and chaos. For example, in Lord of…
Then, the use fear to control is another relevant theme. In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, most of the boys fear what they call the beast or beastie. The fear starts with a littlun saying he saw a beastie, a snake-thing, in the dark. Quickly, that fear will be instilled in most of them.

complement each other. How many have not studied these relationships, but a few have and made it known that math and music can in fact be related and are related. Mario Livio in his work “The Golden Ratio” listed several instances where Fibonacci numbers are used in music. Livio looks at tuning styles, piano and violin building, and compositions that use mathematics. Most commonly associated with Fibonacci is the works Béla Bartók (1881-1945). A study of Bartok by musicologist Ernö Lendvai,…
One important aspect of mathematics is interpreting the meaning of the numbers in the different operations. Van De Walle, Karp, Bay- Williams, (2013) emphasize the importance of developing meaning, interpretations, and relations to the four operations to help students integrate mathematical skills into the real world. For division, teachers should help students identify and use different meanings of remainders to help the learners understand and apply different rules. As students become…

Most futurist scholars would probably agree that by the time the Mark of the Beast is instituted, it won’t be a huge secret who the Antichrist is, especially to the saints living at the time of the Mark of the Beast. Contextually, it is clear from this passage that the Antichrist has already reached the place where Satan has come down to earth and is possessing the Antichrist (verse…
the most basic exploited preservation strategies. Water activity is defined as the ratio of water vapor pressure of the food substrate to the vapor pressure of pure water at the same temperature. The water activity can be manipulated in foods by a number of means, including addition of solutes such as salt or sugar, physical removal of water through drying or baking, or binding of water to various macromolecular components in the food. The water activity for optimum growth level of most…
