    William Golding explores the vulnerability of society in a way that can be read on many different levels. A less detailed look at the book‚ Lord of the Flies‚ is a simple fable about boys stranded on an island. Another way to comprehend the book is as a statement about mans inner savage and reverting to a primitive state without societies boundaries. By examining the Lord of the Flies further‚ it is revealed that many themes portray Golding’s views‚ including a religious persecution theme. Golding

    I dreamt a dream! What can it mean? And that I was a maiden Queen Guarded by an Angel mild: Witless woe was ne’er beguiled! And I wept both night and day‚ And he wiped my tears away; And I wept both day and night‚ And hid from him my heart’s delight. So he took his wings‚ and fled; Then the morn blushed rosy red. I dried my tears‚ and armed my fears With ten-thousand shields and spears. Soon my Angel came again; I was armed‚ he came in vain; For the time of youth was fled‚ And

    The poem "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus"‚ by William Carlos Williams‚ portrays in writing the painting by Brueghel. The piece depicts the Greek myth of the tragedy of Icarus‚ a boy who flew too close to the sun with wax wings and fell into the sea to his death. The poem has no set rhyme scheme or meter‚ an example of one of Williams’ many free verse poems. After reading the poem many times‚ I started sensing a feeling of insignificance; that the tragic event of Icarus’ death was "quite unnoticed"
