leadership style. With these contrasting leadership styles, a struggle for power emerges. Ralph, who is an authentic leader, focuses on creating a democratic body.

Think about the stereotypical raider or pirate. This image presumably portrays a tough, unkempt, and harsh man. This man probably doesn’t really care about others and will do anything to get what he wants, or his treasure, he even steals and lies. Now think about how others view that man and what they think of him. Most would say that he is eerie and intimidating looking, while others may admire him for his bravery and strength. Chaucer would tend to fall in the median of the two views. In the…

Power doesn’t corrupt people. People corrupt power. This saying is relevant in the novel, The Chrysalids, because when power is given to an individual, it only takes one step for the person to take advantage of it and corrupt it, but the concept of power never corrupts anything. In The Chrysalids, the theme of power is strongly seen through religion, discrimination, and mutants. In The Chrysalids, the theme of power is demonstrated through religion because of the Strorms’ history and religious…

Power is a recurring idea in Lord of the Flies by William Goulding, whether it be power from the conch, created out of the idea of hope and the idea of having order in the midst of chaos, or the sow’s head, which was motivated by fear.

George Lucas once said, “Power corrupts, and when you're in charge, you start doing things that you think are right, but they're actually not.” This theme is very evident and important in House of the Scorpion as some of the characters are very powerful and cannot properly handle their power. House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer documents the journey of Matt, who is the clone of a powerful drug lord. After being injured, he goes to the Big House and meets this drug lord, who has lived for over…

The path to discovering one's self can be one of the most difficult trails to walk. It can be hard to differ against the social norms to the point where personal growth is made. Conformity is a four syllable noun that holds enough power to contain an individual in the plastic casing of social norms. Cutting apart that plastic casing is exactly what Disney character Fa Mulan, pictured above, is attempting to do. Disney’s Mulan is set in the Han Dynasty, which is considered to be the golden age of…

craves for power. Through the uses of symbols, Golding expresses how the children in Lord of the Flies release their inner savagery and turn a civilized society into utter chaos.

Though humans are the first common portrayal of power, it can sometimes be represented with ordinary objects.

The smooth conch shell and the rotting sow's head become clear models of good and evil as the story progresses. It’s purity, which is how the society started, was…
