Imagine the many dangers of being stranded on a desolate island. There is a chance of starvation, severe sunburn or sicknesses, and strange animals. The idea of being a danger to yourself does not usually cross a person's mind when thinking about this unimaginable situation. Being in such horrible conditions would make anyone start to go a little crazy, especially if they were young and immature. The little boys in Lord of The Flies show the true nature in humanity when times become desperate and cut throat. The main topic of this essay is to focus on similarities and differences of how two groups of boys, Piggy & Ralph and Jack & Roger, behave when they become stranded on an island and how they act to survive.

In the beginning of the novel the boys were portrayed as young and innocent children, curious and fond of their surroundings. As the story continues, we can witness the boys going through a survival phase, according to what they witness and feel they react accordingly. They become savage and give into the evil inside of themselves, and follow no of the rules that were set. The plot later reveals that the boy’s in fact are not innocent at all. They are not even close to being innocent. William Golding does a very good job when laying out the habits and the traits of the boys.

David Foster Wallace wants the reader to realize that the most important and the most obvious realities are often the ones that are the hardest to see and talk about. Seeing what’s right in front of you can be the most difficult thing because you are always looking further and not opening your eyes to see the most obvious parts of life. Wallace is additionally trying to get the reader to tap into the real meaning of life as well as trying to move people away from their “default setting”. The opening of this speech starts out with the story of wise fish and the two young fish. After being asked about the water by the older fish, the two younger fish realize that they don’t know what water is. Fish don’t know water exists until beached;

The setting of the novel takes place on a peaceful, life giving island. However, once the boys came to the island, the island slowly became consumed in darkness as the boys became more savage like. Towards the beginning of the novel, Golding emphasizes the light hearted mood by describing the brightness and beauty of the island,” The palms that stood made a green roof, covered on the underside with a quivering tangle of the reflection from the lagoon.”(pg 12). Just like the island, the boys start out as peaceful boys when they first arrive on the island. However, as the boys became more corrupted by savagery, so does the island and Golding effectively uses this in the scene where the boys lose control of themselves and in their bloodlust, kill Simon,”The clouds opened and let down the rain like a waterfall…” (pg 153). Golding’s use of the setting shows the evil in humans by giving the reader a mental illustration of the progression of the island turning from paradise to despair, much like how Jack starts out as a normal boy, but progresses into savagery.

Due to the weak mental and physical states of many of the prisoners of war, they are easily controlled and persuaded; however, Edgar Derby and the British prisoners attempt to remind the American prisoners of their values, morals, and hygiene. Like Edgar Derby and the other American prisoners of war, the boys in Lord of the Flies are stranded with no way to return to civilization. As the boys, specifically Piggy and Ralph, find out that they are stranded on the island with no adults, Piggy says, “They’re all dead… an’ this is an island. Nobody don’t know we’re here. Your dad don’t know, nobody don’t know” (Golding 14). The island holds the boys, including Simon, captive while the reef serves as a barrier between them and the “dark blue of the sea”, enabling savagery and allowing them to witness and even participate in murder (Golding 14). While the description of the world beyond the reef sounds pleasant, the world war that is taking place in the adult world encourages the boys to fight over leadership positions, behave primitively, and even murder each other. The island and the reef “set up the right conditions for an ‘experiment’. Here, in other words, representative humanity (or at least

In the book It’s Kind of a Funny Story, Craig Gilner is in the process of “re-building his fallen Lego tower (☺).” While trying to overcome insecurities and worries about school and his friends/classmates/teachers, Craig is feeling the necessity to just focus on making progress in the hospital at the moment, and to worry about the “tentacles” later once he is out. He finds a ray of hope and positivity in his adroit map-making skills again. He draws them without second-guessing anything, free and graceful, with an open heart and clear mind. This book has the ability to capture the reader’s attention through unique dialogue, plot line, and allows the reader to also make connections through components such as identity, love and truth.

In the magical world of Bartimaeus and Nathaniel, their mission to seek revenge and justice takes place in London. Throughout the book, Bartimaeus is sent on adventures from plotting on the rooftops of houses, to sojourning in the back alleys of London to hide from enemies. He also begins to describe the area of which he has resided in and creates a curiousness in the reader to discover the layout of this perplex and mysterious city. Interested myself about the setting of London, I chose key locations in which Bartimaeus encounters along his adventures and began to familiarize myself with the architectural and geographical history of these places. I then recognized that London today is still rich with culture and history of the places mentioned

The Rangers Apprentice the Ruins of Gorlan by John Flanagan portrays a timeless piece of writing, inspiring all to look deep inside to find any and all courage when the last bit of hope is lost. Although being a classic, every book comes flaws; in this case the over use of the terminology such as “baby” and “boy”. I found that the main moral illustrated in this book is that your expectations in life may not turn out to be what you wanted them to be, but that does not mean you have to exclude all future possibilities. In short, don’t eliminate possibilities you have not yet to experience. I’ve connected to this book in multiple ways, some much larger than others, such as my correlation to Halt, and the Ranger Corps. Halt is described as a
