We all crammed into cars trying to…

The fire first was started around nine P.M in a barn on the O’Leary’s farm in the barn.

We can see this because he makes the characters start off nice and innocent, but as the story develops and starts going to the climax we see that the boys start changing and they become savage they start not to care about the others. Golding believes that we are all capable of becoming Nazis and uses…

For years, the American fire service thought that the number one killer of firefighters were heart attacks and other cardiac emergencies, due to the high number of them and the physical stress of firefighting. The American public probably thinks of the number one killer of firefighters to be thermal injuries or structural collapses. Surprisingly, the most powerful enemy to the fire service, a silent but deadly one, is cancer. When I first started as a Firefighter, a short nine years ago,…
