pieces of art work that are religious in nature.

1 And 2 Virtual Reality

The world of mathematics usually tends to be
thought of as abstract. Complex and imaginary
numbers, real numbers, logarithms, functions, some
tangible and others im perceivable. But these
abstract numbers, simply symbols that conjure an
image, a quantity, in our mind, and complex

Edgar Allan Poe Lord Of The Rings

The human imagination is a very powerful thing. It
sets humanity apart from the rest of the creatures
that roam the planet by giving them the ability to
make creative choices. The imaginary world is
unavoidably intertwined with the real world and
there are many ways by which to illustrate this
through literature, either realistically or
exaggerated. Almost everything people surround

Monadology explains what a monad is, whereas, the

infinite number of them. A monad is a simple,

Lord Of The Flies Readers Attention

Comparison Between Lord Of The Flies Film And
Novel Many novels have tried to adopt the idea of
their story on to a film, such as the novel Lord
Of The Flies. It is apparent that in most cases
the novel is more successful than the film, since
it has a greater capability to attract the readers
attention by using literally devices such as
symbolism, and meaningful events through out the
story. I believed that the novel Lord Of The Flies
was far more superior to the film Lord Of The
