Lord Of The Flies Common Sense
982 words
Lord of the Flies, a story that tells the
adventure of a group of boys that has been dropped
on a tropical island, seems susceptible of various
interpretations. It can be read as a moral fable,

the Flies seems capable of endorsing Freud's three
part analysis of the mind. It is possible to view
the boys as representatives of various instincts
or elements of per...

When a child opens his (or her) first puzzle and
the pieces fall to the ground, it may seem very
confusing. What are they to do with this pile of
shapes in front of them? It often takes a parent
to explain to them that all the different pieces
fit together into one whole picture. Although
every piece is different and unique, when they are

A style that has become suspects and largely
outmoded in this postmodern period. The question
is why did Mistry choose to write in such a mode?
