Jack And Ralph Law And Order
883 words
... And Then There Was Anarchy... First, it must
be understood that in William Golding's "Lord of
The Flies" the boys' lives on the island represent
a world-wide society. Golding's motives for
choosing the island setting, was because it works
best to have the characters isolated, where the
laws of their governments cannot reach them.
Golding chose children instead of adolescents, or
even adults, because children have not yet been
fully conditioned by society to understand right
from wrong, and t...

Huck Finn Huckleberry Finn
936 words
Life in the 1800 s has taken on an almost
idealistic quality in the minds of many Americans.
The images linked to this era of our history are,
on the surface, pleasurable to recall: one room
school houses; severe self-reliance; steam-powered
railroads and individual freedom. All in all, we
seem to recall a well-scrubbed past. Maybe, as we
cross into the next century, it's time to take
another look at the so-called "good old days. "
Two very well written works that help to see the
latter side of ...

Brave New World Escape From Reality

For centuries, science fiction writers have
thrilled and challenged readers with visions of
the future and future worlds. These authors
offered an insight into what they expected man,
society, and life to be like at some future time.
Though most of this insight was good, a select
group of authors have tried to give readers a more
realistic interpretation of the direction mankind
is heading toward. One such author, Ray Bradbury,

Point Of View Huck Finn
725 words
Throughout the Mark Twain (a. k. a. Samuel
Clemens) novel, The Adventures of HuckleBerry
Finn, a plain and striking point of view is
expressed by the author. His point of view is that
of a cynic; he looks upon civilized man as a
merciless, cowardly, hypocritical savage, without
want of change, nor ability to effect such change.
Thus, one of Mark Twain's main purposes in
producing this work seems clear: he wishes to
bring to attention some of mans often concealed
shortcomings. While the examples ...

Contrast Between Darkness Darkness And White Map

The process of representing something though an
idea or object is defined as symbolism. Two
symbols used in Joseph Conrad s The Heart of
Darkness are darkness and white. Throughout the

wild will be exactly that, wild and chaotic. While
on the other hand the newborn in the well-mannered
society will be well mannered and moralistic.
