De Lacey Family Family Relationships

Comparative Essay To my mind, Frankenstein and
Small World are the stories which were designed to
turn our attention to the problems of family
relationships, to the feelings of love and care
that should be at the heart of every family.
Unfortunately, people living in 19 th and 20 th
centuries disregard the holy essentials of a
family and very seldom they are aware of the
severe punishment that inevitably comes
afterwards. The story of Frankenstein was written
in the 19 th century and I think tha...

The Bloody Meridian Blood Meridian The ending of
the Blood Meridian is both abstruse and
compelling. The setting when the kid first walks
into town (pp. 324) seems almost too familiar.
This town could be any number of different towns
located throughout the Midwest, but it seems
strangely related to the town of Nacogdoches. The
Kid, once thought to be on some sort of migratory
movement to the West, has now completed a full
circle and has returned to the place of his birth.

Lord Of The Flies Golding Shows
935 words
The Demons Inside Latent in every man, there
resides a demonic force. This so-called force is
generally kept in check by the rational part of
human nature, but in the absence of reason or
social pressure, it breaks out in barbaric
bloodletting. William Golding said this and
displayed his beliefs in his novel, The Lord of
the Flies. The boys start out very much civilized,
but by the time of their rescue, have lost all
hope of order. Golding uses many symbols in his
novel to represent the deterior...
