Lord of the Flies
What are goals? Are they just plans that you make yourself for the future? Or are they a list of what you hope to accomplish in life? Well me personally, I believe my goals are challenges I set for myself to hopefully overcome throughout my life so that I can become something more. There is a lot of career options out there that where recommended to me but many different people. But ever since I was a little boy there was always one thing I wanted to be… a Chef. I love to cook, so it’s no surprise that when I got to high school I looked for different ways I can get into Culinary Arts, and be active so I can actually learn the fundamentals of it, instead of just cooking at my house. There is really no training I could take before I got to high school because simply I’m too young for them to even trust me with the equipment that is needed to perform the tasks. Even when I got up to high school the school still don’t trust freshman with that kind of responsibility until they are sophomores. So like I’ve been doing my whole life, I had to wait. But I did everything I could in the last year to make sure I was ready for the class next year. I mean I guess what I’m trying to say is I have always wanted to be a Chef my whole life. I also looked into one and only one other career besides culinary arts and that would have to be the Armed Forces. It’s something else that I haven’t wanted to be in the army since I was little but it’s something I thought about for my back up plan in case I don’t make it as a Culinarian. There is a lot of ways I can get to being a Chef in my life and for me personally I think I have found mine so that I can hopefully get a scholarship. Right now I am currently taking a culinary arts class that is teaching me the basics but I also joined Skills US, a club that you get to go compete for scholarships. But my plan is to take this year in the class I am in and next year takes Culinary Arts at the Career Center and the year after that advanced

    Lord of the Flies

    Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, I am speaking today to defend George Milton on the murder of Lennie smalls. If George did not kill Lennie, then curly would have, and curly would have made Lennie’s death much more painful. Curly said that he would shoot Lennie in the gut, as we all know, this death would be much more painful than getting shot right in the head and dying immediately. Curly was after Lennie for revenge because Lennie accidentally killed Curly’s wife. Lennie was going to die anyway and George just did Lennie a favor by making his death more humane. George could have just saved Lennie by helping him escape, but he would eventually be found and sent to prison, and if Lennie was in prison he would be abused by inmates and tortured. So again, George was just helping Lennie and saving him from a lot of pain down the road by killing him. Even if George helped Lennie escape from the farm and if he ended up not being found by the law and not going to prison, Lennie would still risk the chance of accidentally killing more people in the future. Lennie does not know his own strength. He killed a mouse by gently squeezing its head, and he killed a woman by just grabbing her hair. Lennie did not feel sorry for doing this, or even realizing that he did anything wrong. Due to his mental disability, Lennie can’t differentiate right from wrong, this factor along with his height and strength makes him a very dangerous person. George was saving Lennie from a lot of trouble and saving a lot of people from getting hurt by killing Lennie. The last reason why it was right for George to kill Lennie was that he could have just set Lennie free and let him go try to live on his own. But Lennie is not the type of man that is able to provide for himself. George has been in charge of Lennie ever since his aunt Clara died. George is like a father figure for Lennie, and letting him go off and try to live on his own…

    Lord of the flies

    With proof from the book Lord of the Flies by William Golding I can say a person’s environment factors into their overall attitude, people naturally have evil thoughts, but will rules around them they are good. At the beginning of the book on page 38 Ralph says “Shut up! What! Listen!”. From the start of the look Ralph has felt power and the slight change of letting go of rules and becoming his natural evil controlling self. Ralph wants to keep order and the only way to keep order is with rules. Rules are what separate a person from doing whatever they want and being a bad person with doing good. From a more easily transitioned to showing evil we see on page 40 “His voice rose to a shriek of terror as jack snatched his glasses off his face.” Jack has no rules therefore he does whatever he wants and acts evil. If he was naturally good he would have felt some slight guilt for taking glasses from someone who can’t see without them. Essentially humans show their true nature given the opportunity that was given in Lord of The flies.…

    Lord of the flies

    In the novel, Lord of the Flies, symbolism played an important part in the development of story. The use of symbolism in objects develops the structure and meaning of the novel. Some examples of symbolism in objects are the pig's head, Piggy's glasses, the Conch and the Fire. One of the most important and most obvious symbols in Lord of the Flies is the object that gives the novel its name, the pig's head. The pig's head, in this novel, is described as "dim-eyed, grinning faintly, blood blackening between the teeth," and the "obscene thing" is covered with a "black blob of flies" that "tickled under his nostrils." (Pg. 151, 152). As a result of this detailed, striking image, the reader becomes aware of the great evil and darkness represented by the Lord of the Flies.…

    Lord of the Flies

    The symbols in the book "Lord of the flies" all reinforce the theme of the novel. All of the characters themselves were very symbolic. Ralph is a symbol of civilization, he is always the one who attempts to organize and accomplish things in order to better the group, like the fire and the building of shelters. Jack, on the other hand, is a symbol of anarchy. The struggle between Ralph and Jack is symbolic of the struggle between the forces of civilization and anarchy, or the struggle between moral conscience and the heart of darkness. The central symbol itself is the "Lord of the Flies," which implies destruction, decay, demoralization, hysteria, and panic, which were all seen throughout the book, and fits well with the novel's themes. In "Lord of the Flies", Golding was trying to capture three main different ideals by symbolizing what Ralph, Jack and Lord of the Flies all stand for.…

    Lord of the Flies

    In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, evil is portrayed through various types of situations, characters and symbols. Golding depicts an image in the readers mind as he ventures out to imitate how savagery can take over if there is no civilization intact. During many parts of the novel, innocence is also used to show that anything can happen to the ones that we presume to be guiltless, even in the gentlest of hearts a seed of evil exists. One of the many symbols that Golding exerts into the novel is the conch.…

    Lord of the Flies

    If you were in plane crash and landed on an inland with a bunch of kids do you think your natural rights could be violated? If you are wondering what natural rights are any rights that exists by the virtue of natural law. Locke strongly believed in the natural rights of man. His basic thesis maintained that in a state of nature, men have a “perfect freedom to order their actions, and dispose of their possessions and persons as they see fit, within the bounds of law and nature, without asking leave or depending upon the will of any other man.” He professed the idea that man has a natural right to life, to liberty, and to property, and he justified his beliefs on the foundation of natural law. From the evidence I gather from the movie I believe the boy’s natural rights were violated.…

    Why I Chose Culinary School

    I was actually contemplating whether if I should take culinary arts, engineering or gynecology as my course in college. When I was young like around 7-9 years old, I had a thing for cooking, that as a kid it made me sure about taking culinary arts as my course in college. But years had passed my passion for cooking was slowly fading away, why? Because I thought to myself that if I take culinary arts as my course in college, my future wouldn’t be as bright as I want it to be. I’m not criticizing those people who took culinary arts as their so called profession, it’s just that I wanted my profession to be in a higher standard like the ones that my family took when they were in college because I always kept on comparing myself with my family and it really worries me thinking that I…
