    In modern society, adolescents cannot wait to mature and enjoy the perks of adulthood, but they are often unaware of what it costs to lose their innocence. Just like children in the real world, the boys from Lord of the Flies mature and lose their naivety, optimism, and other markers of their childlike mindset. Golding uses the boys as an example to convey his opinion of what really causes this loss of innocence. In William Golding’s novel, Lord of the Flies, he shows that understanding the…

    A Dangerous Rite of Passage A notion to inspire awe, heroism, wonder. But too often danger, irresponsibility, and chaos as well — and many times the duplicitous mind of the adult. Too often, this concept of “power” is associated with evil and misdeed, opposite of the innocent domain of the light hearted child. However, Golding meddles with these opposing connotations in Lord of the Flies. The boys separate themselves into two groups: the “biguns” and the “littluns.” This is a distinction…

    As a hopeful, speech pathologist, if I was to reflect back on the lifespan that I would feel most challenging in the health system, it would have to be older adulthood. Older adult hood would be difficult to work with as there are a range of issues that may arise or they already are dealing with, that could impact the care in which they accept or receive.
