Behavioural Changes in Golding’s Lord of the Flies In William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies, the theme of human nature is recurring and pertinent. Golding was raised to believe that human nature can improve with a better education, in Lord of the Flies it’s almost as if it is the opposite. The longer the boys stay on the island the worse their natural habits become and therefore their instincts become more evil as they start to believe there is a beast. They believe the beast can…

APSC 100 Module 1 Teaming Activity: Reflection Creating an anemometer as a team was a helpful learning experience. During the whole process I tried to keep the steps to solving complex problems in mind. At the first meeting with my group, only three of the four of us were there. We had not yet gotten in contact with our fourth partner, as he attended the wrong lecture and was not responding to our messages to him. It did not cause too much of an issue at that moment by not having him at this…

English 1303 was filled with many activities consisting of the writer 's toolbox, vocabulary logs, different rhetorical essays, timed writings, presentations, and, much more. I vividly remember the assignment that was introduced to us as the “cookie rubric.” Our assignment was to create a rubric based off the characteristics, texture, appearance, taste, and smell of cookie. It was honestly one of the most constructive assignments I have done, due to the fact that I had to be so precise with each…

Who am I? I have been called many things; a bumbling buffoon, a sleepy sailor, or even a hairy hippy. I am so much more than these mere titles. I am a sponge to the world that deposits its ideas into me. I am a filter that chooses which ideas I want to follow. I am a melting pot that takes these ideas and turns them into one unique view of the world, my view. One thing that I have observed from my many years of skiing is that bowing to fear is not the way I want to live. I learned this when I…

As I walked out of the cafeteria and outside for recess I saw him… standing there in the freezing cold air, watching me as the snowflakes fell on my head. We locked eyes and It was like my heart was pounding out of my chest beat, after beat, after beat, going a hundred miles and hour. Then he turned away. my heart rate went down and my blood was running normally again. It was the 2nd week of the 3rd grade school year, and I already had someone on my back, Justin Heart. He was in 5th grade, 9…

Four- Wheeling Living in the country was boring. It only became bearable when with another friend. What could you do when you’re both bored? What could two guys do with only one four-wheeler? What about finding another seemingly abandoned one? That was the day we both had regretted taking what we had found. Between living in the country and being a freshman in high-school living 5 miles away from town there was not much to do for a 15 year old with no ride. During the summer heat I would…

5:30 a.m. read my clock. “Matthew, we should probably get up now.” I said, while stretching my arms. “Yeah, OK,” Matthew said groggily. I quickly got dressed and headed downstairs. When I reached the bottom step, I saw my mom packing food for the ride. I started peering into the early morning, waiting for a black car to pull into our driveway, because we were going there with our friend Casey and his mom. Then, after what felt like waiting forever, a black car pulled up into our driveway. “Mom,…

Everyone has a dark side to them, what does it take to unchain yours? In the book Lord of The flies by William Golding each character experiences this change within themselves, and in many moments in our life we see this happens to us as well. In the book the boys end up stranded on a island; they do not know where they are or who is there with them. Throughout the book they find a conch shell and use that to symbolize control and sanity, they also use a pig’s head as an offering to the “beast”.…
