Lion King Large Role
989 wordsDestiny and Fate Destiny or fate is a very curious thing. In this book we can see the enormous effects that fate can have on a person or a group. All throughout Sundiata an Epic of Old Mali the pangs of fate ring true. When writing a book like this or even by reading it one will always know the fate or outcome of the hero. It is interesting that the reader keeps reading even though the outcome is evident. This perhaps illustrates how Maghan Kon Fatta, Sogolon, Sundiata, and his followers perhaps...

Jack And His Hunters Lord Of The Flies
2,173 wordsThis was one of the most interesting books I have ever read. It is very addictive and very well written. Though I am a slow reader, it did not take long for me to finish it.

The thing I probably liked the most about Lord of the flies was the theme of the story. This topic was very intriguing. It dealt with many fla...
