    There is no end to fear, no one can be saved from it, and nothing can make it forgotten. In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, a group of young, British schoolboys’ plane crashes on a deserted island during a war, leaving these young boys to fend for themselves with no adults. Throughout the book, the boys are driven by their fears of the island, eventually leading them to savagery. The boys become beasts within themselves as they tear and burn the island down to ash. Once the boys have lost all sense of humanity, and they stand amongst a burning civilization, a naval officer arrives on the island to rescue them. Realizing there is no true end to the fears they have all experienced, the boys break down, sobbing as the officer stands, waiting to take them all back to a war stricken world. By looking at the conclusion of Lord of the Flies, one can see how Golding uses it to show the effect of fear on the boys’ personalities; this is important because fear is the driving factor of society’s dismay.…

    Fly away Peter plot structure is essentially the existential life cycle of Jim Saddler. The story begins with Jim happily admiring the nature he is “blissfully ignorant” of any problems of the world, yet early on we see him becoming cognisant as he questions human essence. Demonstrated through his actions of questioning and resenting his own father’s essence “Except for the accidental link of blood he saw nothing in common between his father and himself and resented the cowardly acceptance of defeat”. This conveys how humans even with close relations share no similar instinct, each has their own perspective on the essence of existence. This idea is capped just before Jim goes to war ““Why?” he asked in a last moment of innocence.” (Pg 36). In chapter nine, the first chapter to be set in Europe, Jim is compared to Clancy. Clancy is a man who has already realise the fait accompli, where Jim is the binary opposite, he is in a…

    The beauty of flying is often downplayed and viewed merely as a method of transportation. However, it is much more than that because it not only helps the local and global economy, but allows people to have an amazing experience. Flying is so much more than that in positive and negative ways. The poem, “Flying Lesson” is misleading in a way. Upon initial observation of the poem, some think it is talking about flight training. This “flight training” is aimed towards the reader because it’s trying to explain what flying truly is about. Flying is an art, flying involves all five senses. Flying is a hobby, Dolores Hayden’s, “Flying Lesson” illustrates the the dangers and joys of flying to the reader. The speaker in the…
