Lord of the Flies is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable and highly praised pieces of literature written by William Golding.

Importance of Prayer What is Prayer Prayer is the utterance from your spirit to God. In simple terms‚ talking to God is called prayer. It’s the simple opening of one’s heart to our Father in Heaven.

Prayer is not the compilation of long words or flowery lingo. It’s not the language of the ’holy people’! It’s not some sophisticated language of regular church goers! No! It’s such a pity most of us fail to realize what true prayer is! Most of us think it’s something we have to do to be good‚ while others do it because it’s something our family‚ church or culture says we ought to do.

The court doesn’t allow prayer because some people might think that they are favoring one prayer over another‚ but they allow them to pray

In the novels The Bonesetter’s Daughter‚ Yo!‚ and The Antelope Wife‚ ghosts and supernatural occurrences are all used by the characters in order to retain their authenticity. Amy Tan uses ghosts in her novel The Bonesetter’s Daughter a medium for withholding the values of the characters’ culture of origin‚ such as prudence and sacrifice‚ and how these qualities make a person strong and able to withstand whatever obstacles life has for them. The Bonesetter’s Daughter is laid out into three different
