Lord Of The Flies Civilized Behavior
842 words
When away from civilization, mans facade of
civilized behavior falls away. This thought is
express greatly in William Golding, Lord of the
Flies. Golding's uses characters and events to
prove this belief. He uses the protagonist, Ralph,
as the example of how no matter how you try the
instinctual savagery of humans will surface. The
antagonist, Jack, is the example of the change.
His metamorphosis from a civilized, optimistic
British boy to a bloodthirsty savage leader is one
that Golding tracks ...

Face To Face Long Time

An interesting short story is Letters from The
Samantha by Mark Help. This story tells the
fascinating tale, in the form of never sent
letters, of an ape brought aboard an iron-hulled
sailing ship in 1909 by Samson Low, the ships
captain. Although the author makes a point to tell
the reader, through Samson Low, that the animal
does not symbolize anything or mean anything, in
fact, He stands for nothing (280), several
arguments can be made to contradict this. One
could argue that the ape symboliz...

Lust For Power Lord Of The Flies

I am intrigued and disturbed by your view of
mankind that you have portrayed in "The Lord of
the Flies." However, this view, to varying
degrees, is generally correct, with few
exceptions. That is why I am forced to comply with
your philosophy. After reading Lord of the Flies,
I see the astounding parallel of various
components of society to the microcosm shown in
the novel. I have found that the events of wisdom
and rationality being crushed, and the fact that

... from there. In the 18 th and 19 th centuries,
a more naturalistic approach developed. Instead of
needing to believe in the truth of the religion,
what was required was just the opposite:
intellectual detachment and a suspension of
belief. Three people who ended up doing just that
were Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim and Max Weber. Marx
studied philosophy in Berlin under William Hegel.
Hegel's philosophy had a decisive influence upon
Marx's own thinking and theories. According to

Reproductive Cloning Therapeutic Cloning

The issues concerning human reproductive cloning
are shrouded in controversy, perhaps overshadowing
the true advantages of cloning technology.
Therapeutic cloning, which is often misunderstood
as reproductive cloning, is less controversial
than the latter as it does not involve the
creating of an individual being. Instead, vital
stem cells are extracted from human embryos, in
order to generate tissues and organs for
transplant. The goal of this process is strictly
to harvest stem cells, resultin...

Technological Advances Metaphysical Progress Moral

Progress has always been a goal of the United
States and of the world. In our eagerness to
define and measure progress, we have created a
plethora of meanings and measures. The Gross
National Product and the Dow Jones Industrial
Average measure economic progress. Other, more
general forms of progress are more difficult to
discern. To find broader meanings, I choose to
break progress down into technological, or
material progress and moral, or metaphysical
progress. It seems clear that technology ...

Lord Of The Flies William Lord Of The Flies Boys

In Lord of the Flies, William Goldberg uses a
group of British boys from a private school to
demonstrate the masked diabolical nature of
humans, and how if given the opportunity, men will
turn into savages. Mr. Golding shows us that
within each person there is a primitive evil that
will break loose if it is not curbed by the strong
order of civilization, that there is a monster
lurking beneath the calm exterior of mundane,
ordinary humans. On a deserted island, the boys
illustrate the wicked, ma...

The Tragic Hero Of Things Fall Apart
918 words
The role of a tragic hero within a story line is
essential in a dramatic film or written work. The
hero has the standards of becoming a great
character that can take charge of the story
through courageous action and bold dialogue.
However, since the character is deemed a tragic
hero, his flaws will ultimately be his downfall,
usually leading to the characters own demise.
Nowhere is this ideal of a tragic hero more
relevant that in China Achebe's novel Things Fall
Apart. The story is set in late ...

Heart Of Darkness Marlow Sees

It is interesting to note that the female
characters in Heart of Darkness seem to stand in a
category of their own. It is queer how out of
touch with women are. They live in a world of
their own says Marlow about his aunt. Considering
Heart of Darkness as a journey of self-discovery,
Marlow s assertion seems to deny women the right
or the need for the quest for truth. Conrad has
suggested an ironic ambiguity, a confusion of
light and dark about their nature, although the
women themselves are not...

Cold Blooded Oxygenated Blood

Mammals have existed for the past 200 million

from a mammal like reptile group. These reptile
ancestors were small, active carnivores. They were
