Simon Birch Symbolic Representation
502 words
The overall effectiveness of the film Simon Birch
is enhanced by technical details such as, sound,
lighting, colour and symbolic representation.

and hence creating audience appeal. Similarly,
lighting also brings emotion and mood to a film.
Colour influences the appeal and aura a film may
have upon an audience. The inclusion of symbols
within a film emphasises meaning and adds worth to
the script. In the film Simon Birch sound is used

Boys On The Island Born Evil
1,086 words
There is hardly ever a man clever enough to
recognize the full extent of the evil he does. In
the novel, Lord of the Flies, written by William
Golding, one could argue that man, in the state of
nature, is born evil. The boys in the novel,
represent a metaphorical idea in which they are
born unto the island, and manifest mankind's true
nature. As the story progresses, the boys
construct a society and ruin it. They revert to
the primitive association in which fear and
tyranny lead to ultimate rule...

biblical allusions; Simon represents Jesus, The
pigs head represents Satan or rather their satanic
sides, Jack represents Judas, and the island

novel these allusions play large parts in the
story and ideals place in the story. Simon, one of

Lord Of The Flies Super Ego
1,081 words
Freud described the Ego as being like a rider on a
horse (the Id), trying to hold the horse in check.
It mediates between the Id and the outside world,
in the sense of being aware both of the Id's
energies and of what the outside world will allow.
The Super Ego is a sort of conscience, the place
where injunctions to behave properly, learned or
inherited from people like parents, teachers and
priests, reside. Freud says the person is the
focal point of a struggle between our desires
(Id), what is...

Compare and Contrast Theme from "Lord of the
Flies" and "The Beach" Lord of the Flies by
William Golding and The Beach by Alex Garland both
encompass a wide array of interesting themes.
However, of all those themes, one definitely
stands out: the authors illustrate how humans,
when forced to survive on their own, revert back
to their basic animal instincts. They show how
human beings do all kinds of wrongful things with
one sole goal to survive whatever it takes.
However, while Golding in his wo...

blue is a sad color, First, there is a nuclear war
occuring in the world. A plane is flying children
away from the turmoil in England. It crashes in
the middle of an island in the Pacific, and

minor role in its understanding. Two boys, Piggy

time goes on, they learn of each others names and
stop for a break. ...

Golding's Reality Fiction or fact A recurring
theme in William Golding's novel, Lord of the

CHAUCER? S IMPRESSION OF WOMEN OF MEDIEVAL TIMES
Geoffrey Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales in the
late 1400 s. By conceiving the idea of a
pilgrimage to Canterbury in which each character
strives to tell the best story, Chaucer cleverly
reveals a particular social condition of England
during the time. In this time period, the status,
role, and attitudes towards women was clearly
different from that of today. Two tales in
Chaucer? s collection specifically address this

Lord Of The Flies Important To Note

1. The conch being inexpertly blown and the fact
that Piggy has only one lens shows that society
has begun to function poorly. The reason for this
decline in society is Jack. Jack broke Piggy's
lens, and now Jack who has power, represented by
the conch, does not know how to blow it properly.
This tells us that Jack is an inept leader who
misuses power and destroys knowledge. To become an
expert at something, such as blowing a conch or
leading a society takes time, so this is also
significant bec...
