After World War II, people around the world were skeptical of everything: the government, their leaders, and society as a whole. Many were in a constant state of fear of nuclear annihilation. William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, published in 1954, is believed to be a “political and historical allegory, even as a cautionary tale for the leaders of the world” (Henningfeld). The island is what the world would be like after nuclear annihilation, and the demise of the boys is what Golding is warning society

A hero is someone who is revered for his or her exceptional achievements and bravery. Anyone who puts themselves before others not for recognition or an award, but because it is the right thing to do, is a true hero.

They are exposing a flaw in today’s American Politics which is the unrestrained influence of the media on the American public through fear.

American Idiot takes advantage of the same techniques as the mass media, like chaos and mirroring, to sell their ideas. In

he started walking he asked me if I would still teach him some of the things I know about being a villain. As he was walking in I began to space out.

“There is no such thing as an ordinary human.” The 9th Doctor once said. Doctor Who is a show that originated in the United Kingdom and has been on for many years with different actors playing The Doctor. The Doctor is the only constant character because the rest are companions, who come and go throughout the series. The Doctor is Time Lord, which is a smaller group of the Gallifreyans from Gallifrey, his home planet. Time Lords are loomed, meaning that they are artificially created, and go to The

care of our mental health. It is indeed very essential for us to eat healthy, though I believe that having positive mental health is equally important too. Most of us here desire to lead a healthy and a balanced life, even if we say or not. Well, who would even want to suffer from superfluous health problems or stress about worthless things all day long? A healthy and balanced lifestyle is not only about dieting and exercising; but also about taking responsibilities of your decisions and making

The Lottery by Shirley Jackson is one short story that just about anyone could understand. It starts off as a simple village where everyone knows everyone, but once a year a person's life would be taken because of their dark tradition. However, the reader is unaware of the true depth of the horrible ritual until the end of the story. Instead, as they are reading, they have this continuous sense of foreboding. One of the key aspects of the story that helped to support the building dread the readers

the audience. As she explains her situation, the audience is given the first taste of who she is and how she presents herself. Vivian is a very articulate, well-educated, straight forward woman.

with the existing moral intuitions of many who believe that the torturing of innocent people for pleasure is by no means acceptable, let alone the right action to perform. An example that demonstrates instances where utilitarianism can give us the morally wrong answer as to which act we ought to perform, involves a surgeon who is faced with the decision of killing one healthy patient, harvesting their organs and transplanting them into five patients who are dying in order to save their lives or doing

ready in five minutes. Since, I have not known the new doctor, I did not notice that the woman who was next to the receptionist was my new GYN. But after the time passed, I noticed that she was the doctor, because she was given to the patients the prescriptions in the front desk, she talking loud, and I could hear everything that she was telling to the patients. It was a new facility that is why I did not know how was the new workflow of the clinic. When it was my turn, the doctor introduced herself

to the cold of this november night. This made me think the Lights were the warmth that I needed to have, wanting to follow the trail they made even more. I continued to follow Them deep into the woods. My eyesight worsened as fog rolled in. I didn’t know where I was going but these flames were leading me to something great. I felt as if they were calling my name. I heard a crack and a shifting of branches front of me. “Who’s there?” I blurted out. “It’s me, the Willow Tree” Just as I heard that sound

Milkweed was wrote by Jerry Spinelli. This is a story of an orphan in 1930s Poland who is very naïve and knows nothing. Not who he is, who other people are, nothing of the world around him. He knows only that he is small and fast and able to snatch food right from under the noses of the people it belongs to. He is eventually taken in by a gang of orphan kids, and becomes the special ward of one in particular, Uri. I really loved Uri's character. He's generous, kind, wise beyond his years, in tune

satire through slavery/racism and religion/superstition. Mark Twain uses satire through slavery/racism in the South to expose and criticize human failings. The black professor who is smart, wealthy, owns white clothes, and has the right to vote, leads Pap to ridicule him out of jealousy. Twain uses irony because Pap does not know why the black professor is so much better than him and has freedom, even though Pap drinks and ridicules the government so much. Not only that but Pap does not have a good education

Waking up Amy felt the discomfort of pressure in her throat. Her groggy mind trying to remember what had happened, a flash of a memory -almost dreamlike- skated across her mind. Tires sliding across wet asphalt, the rush of the dense green forest racing by in a disorienting display, the ear piercing, stomach churning sound of metal on metal. Her eyes snapped open taking in her surroundings, the EKG machine giving a sound to her erratic racing heart. The room looked like your typical hospital room
