Robinson and especially at the inciting incident. The contrast between Ben’s shock and Mrs. Robinson’s nonchalant demeanor is both humorous for the audience and significant for the film’s progression. The dysfunction of the relationship between the two characters—the former a dubious graduate whose uncertainty about the future leaves him with no sense of direction, and the latter a reserved seductress whose longing for fulfillment like she had in the past leads her to develop a highly unorthodox, sacrilegious relationship, particularly so in the period of the film—is the main conflict of the film. While this creates comedy as expected, the emotional truth of Mrs. Robinson appears during the bedroom scene, wherein she reveals that she has “lost interest” in art, just as her husband has lost interest in…

Looking down at what he had done, Jack felt nothing. He turned at looked at the roaring flames hungrily consuming the island that he had so loosely called home these past few months. The island was even less of a home to him now than it ever was. Even though he was the sole ruler now, the island had turned on him and the rest of the boys. He felt colder now than ever, despite the raging inferno before him. Rescue is not coming. Rescue is not coming today, not tomorrow, not ever. He knew that now.

If you were placed onto a stranded island in the middle of nowhere with no hope of being rescued, even the most civilized person would turn to savagery by the end. This is a fact about human nature, and at one point humans lose their morals and values. In The Crucible and the Lord of the Flies, both authors, Miller and Golding, show the evil in nature, the fight for truth, and mob mentality in certain situations. Abigail Williams and Jack both become very power hungry by the end and show the evil in nature, while John Proctor and Simon are looking for the truth, and Mary Warren and SamnEric follow the mob mentality that is going around.…

Even after several months of being on the island, many of the boys still didn’t grasp that it wasn’t just another adventure”.…
In this chapter, there is mainly a use of interior monologue to describe the events as the narrator is using first person to describe what was happening and is verbalising their thoughts as they occurred. This type of narrative is a good way to make the reader feel only what the narrator feels, this is because it is in first person narrative therefore the story is very opinionated and one sided.…
After another two hours of the Meryl and I wrestling with the tides, we finally won. The hatch of the cabin opened and both of the boys came out. I couldn’t say a word to ‘em. We moored the boat and rowed to shore in silence. We reached the car when the sun came out. “You’re never going on my boat again.” I said quietly.…

The language used in chapter one is very mysterious and invites a reader to continue further into the book and the use of pathetic fallacy in the first sentence sets the mood for the rest of the chapter. Words such as crouching and peeking suggest the character is somewhere they shouldn’t be. As well as this, the phrase about the ‘past clawing its way out’ gives the impression that what happened there is a monstrous thing that the character has locked away and doesn’t wish to relive like a memory.…
Families, in the late 17th century, played an important role in the development of children. Since Robinson Crusoe left his family at a relatively young age, he was unable to see that people cared for him on a daily basis. To be set free, a person is able to live on their own without being told what to do and when to do it, with the government being the exception in that you have to do what they tell you to do. Crusoe fails to set Friday free because, Friday is the closest thing to a brother he's had in about thirty years.…
