Corruption vs. Civilization in Lord of the Flies Every now and then‚ one finds themselves taking a deeper look inside of their soul‚ often times resulting in the discovery of an inner being. This inner being is perfectly depicted through the lord of the flies. Contrary to the boys’ beliefs‚ the lord of the flies‚ or in the novel the symbol of the “beast”‚ is not “something you could hunt and kill” (164)‚ but rather a spirit that dwells inside of a soul‚ and slowly seduces one into complete and

A hero is someone or something who helps others with an honorable purpose‚ or a person who possesses traits that others could see as the traits of a role model. In my mind‚ Frodo Baggins holds these heroic characteristics and‚ in the end‚ made choices to assist the well-being of his companions.

For instance‚ when Gandalf questions Frodo of the Ring’s prospect‚ Frodo chooses

A shimmery golden gossamer curtain blowing delicately in the wind twinkles provocatively in your mind at the thought of sweet power being just within your grasp‚ doesn’t it? Don’t be afraid to be honest as this is the reality of many humans and even some animals. In fact‚ the classic novel Animal Farm‚ written by George Orwell in 1945‚ is an allegory that symbolizes the powerful politicians and those close to them during the Russian Revolution. This fairy story quite successfully uses pigs to represent
