Greek Mythology has had a beneficial effect on today's literature, arts and even society. These myths explain today’s world and how things came to be. They also teach us relevant lessons about life through works such as paintings and poems, that go way beyond the paper and give us a deeper meaning. For instance, the story of Ulysses and the Sirens was a story of these irresistible sea creatures that men could not avoid. The myth showcases temptresses luring men in, and then leading them to…

To be on the receiving end of a message that seems to never arrive can be bothersome and provoke dismay. To have a message that you cannot get across can be even worse. To hide something, not truly understand it, or be unable to vocalize a message can be distressful in an entirely different way than waiting for a message. In Franz Kafka’s “A Message from the Emperor’, a messenger tries endless to get a message across to an anonymous person, but is never successful. The messenger is the only one…

Authoritarian power enforces people to obey laws and help bring order to society, preventing the deconstruction of an organized civilization. The authority is usually held by a powerful individual or a group of individuals that generally use their power to better the societal structure. In addition, citizens living under authoritarianism usually respect and follow the laws that were previously put in place. In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, Piggy attempts to enforce social laws and order…

To continue, Golding presents a democracy through Ralph by how he was elected as chief, his way of ruling and his priorities. Firstly, Ralph was elected as chief through a vote to see who should be chief.

Dear reader, today I wish to share an incredibly eclectic, spiralling, black tale… a tail that belongs to Mr. Dooland “Dooley the Cat” Ashwood. There is more to his wacky unusual name than meets his jewelled emerald eyes. It is an Irish name, composed of the Gaelic dubh “black” and laoch “champion”, meaning Dooley loosely translates into “Black Champion”. Honestly, the name doesn’t quite fit him perfectly. “Dubh” describes his permanent obsidian coloured fur tuxedo and perhaps his dark sense of…

Over the course of the book you see a reoccurring themes: the loss of innocent, fear, and the decline state of society.…
