In Lord of the Flies, the most significant moment in which a character changes happens when the boys recreate their pig dance for the last time. When the hunters in the group originally perform their pig dance, Ralph is visibly unhappy with what the boys are doing, especially because he is trying to call order to the group: “As they danced, they sang. “Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Bash her in.” Ralph watched them, envious and resentful.” (90). When Ralph expects immediate attention after…

The character I chose from the book The Lord of the Flies, was Piggy. Piggy wasn’t like the other kids, Piggy was nice and responsible. The other characters of the book, for example, let's take Jack, he was very aggressive with a bad attitude and wanted everyone at his feet.

After he told the boys the names they would call him…

Ralph’s blow of the conch unites the boys at the beginning of the novel. The boys vote for whether Jack or Ralph should be chief. For example, when Ralph asks the group who wants him for chief, “every hand outside the choir except Piggy’s was raised immediately” (Golding 23).

Another example of the unity…

The five indices of age are chronological, biological, functional, psychological, and social. Norman and Ethel exemplify, in their own ways, all five indices starting with age. Ethel, being in her late 60s in the movie would put her in the young-old division of old age, while Norman who turned 80 would be part of the old-old division of old age. Ethel seems to be, by all parameters, biologically healthy without any noticeable heart or physiological problems. Norman, on the other hand, has some…

I awoke with the pain of a thousand suns piercing my only eye. My eyesight was gone! I could not see! I had been so generous to Odysseus. I had even offered to eat him last, for what reason would he do this to me? I took the wooden spear and forcefully jerked it out of what was left of my eye. How dare they try this, a human being, shouldn't they know that they are less than me? After they have done me so wrong, my neighbors have the audacity to yell at me and whine and asked if I have been…

An Unexpected Hero I read the New York Times article, He Can Balance a Checkbook, but Not His Imagination, a witty piece reviewing the movie “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.” The subject was presented in a vivid and colorful way filled with colorful diction. However, I found that there was a lot of summary throughout the article making it difficult to find the author’s opinion. The genre of this film is adventure, comedy, and drama. The main idea of this article was analyzing how the…
