Demarco's Mate: An Analysis

He held his breath hoping that the wolves would just run right past him like how the first wolf did. He had no luck and all of the wolves stopped right where he was. The wolves howled a ear piercing howl and he had wanted for the wolves to stop howling.

The character, later known as Adam, is seen as completely hopeless and believes there is no point in trying in life anymore. Adam who was once a pampered prince was turned into a beast as a punishment for his selfish and rude ways. In order to return as his former self, he had to find true love before his 21st birthday. The beast is obviously shown to be hopeless when he meets

They eventually trek up a mountain and see the beast near the top. Simon, Raph, and Jack all flee and run away back to where they came from. Jack has little respect for the rules and argues and speaks when he hasn't gotten the conch. At an assembly back at their camp, Jack challenges Ralph's ability to lead them. Jack sees Ralph as a coward and asks who thinks Ralph is unfit to lead them as chief. When nobody answers, Jack is humiliated and angry and leaves the other boys to start his own group on the other side of the island. Piggy, with his intellectual daring, suggests that they move the fire to the base of the island so that they wouldn't have to deal with the beast. Their camp runs smoothly at first without Jack; even though some more boys leave to join Jack. Jack invites all the boys to a feast and to join his group. At the place, a scuffle breaks out and in the end, Simon was murdered. Ralph, Piggy, the twins and some littleuns live together now and all the other boys lived in Jack's group of hunting and living under Jack's rule. Jack's tribe, however, lacks an essential survival tool that Ralph's group has: fire. Jack and some other steal and break Piggy's specs and use them to

In the morning Ralph tells me that there was actually a beast. I am still not sure if I believe it. Jack is becoming more hostile, wanting me to go see the beast itself. Jack said it would be a good thing if I went up the mountain and never came back. Ralph is beginning to lose hope and says the boys are beaten. We can't have a signal fire up at the mountain top because the beast will kill us. Ralph insults Jack and the hunters saying they are just boys with sticks. Jack leaves and calls a meeting using the conch. Ralph and I go to the assembly. Jack says that Ralph is a bad chief and that we should vote him out. Jack says that Ralph just likes to give orders and talk. We voted again and nobody raised there hand to vote Ralph out of chief.

Beth tries to connect with her son, as they both reminisce over the memory of a pigeon. Conrad then mentions that they had never had a pet and brings up how his brother, Buck, wanted a dog. After he said his brother’s name, Beth becomes uncomfortable and tries to change the subject, and the connection between the two is lost. They both begin to speak over each other until Conrad starts to bark. He barks because he sees how disconnected his mother is to him. Frustration overwhelms him, and he barks like a dog (the dog they never had) because he wants to be heard, and he wants to bring her back to the conversation (reality).

In “The Power of a Story,” Nathan Alling Long had lost faith in everything when his dog, Gracie, ran away one afternoon. That day, he scoured the neighborhood for hours and put up signs, but she was gone. On day two, Nathan called his vet and the animal shelter to see if anyone had brought her in, but no luck. On day three, he checked the woods with his friend, Rhea, who said that maybe Gracie was on a great adventure. As a writer, it restored his faith in the power of a story as he remembered that he used to tell people Gracie was half wolf and half dog, which made it easier to believe she was out exploring her wolf side. On day four, he found a nickel which he believed to be a good omen for him and thought Gracie would be back the next day.

The island life continues to be dreadful. Now, we all have something to fear. The Beast. Just this morning, Samneric were kindling the fire and they told me: “We’ve seen the beast with our own eyes and we were not asleep” (Golding 100). They were on fire duty that morning and they claimed that the beast was chasing them, but they somehow had the speed to outrun it. The littluns are scared to death now because of the sighting of the beast. However, Jack took it upon himself to organize all of the biguns to head up the mountain and hunt for the beast tonight. Now he is testing everybody’s courage, and he is not even concerned about being rescued. I had to call him out at the assembly this morning because he did not have the conch shell, but

that the wolves could defend themselves, but nevertheless it is not known if they are going to live, it could be that they die "The idiot chatter" of the man indicates the horrible end that they will suffer.

Likewise, the boys in the novel go into a state of hysteria due to the mysterious and new environment that they are exposed to. In connection with the previous fear, the boys have no adults to answer their questions, which further provoke this fear. During the assembly where Ralph discusses about the beast, a boy gives his interpretation of the beast, saying, “Maybe he means it’s some sort of ghost.” (96) The boy’s perception of the beast inflicts fear on the group since a ghost is not tangible, visible, and cannot be hunted. This statement also creates chaos in the assembly and ultimately ends it, as the boys are too terrified to have a civilized conversation. The idea of a beast lurking on the island disrupts the boys’ priorities. The boys are too concerned about the beast that they become unproductive on the island. This results in the downfall of the society since a majority of the boys neglect their work and go hunting for an imaginary beast that does not physically exist. The fear of the unknown also stops their signal fire because of the beast that Samneric claims they saw, “It kind of sat up…there were eyes…Teeth…Claws” (109) The fear of the unknown deceived Samneric from seeing a human by distorting the reality. Ironically, their description of the beast is similar to a human with “eyes” and “teeth”, but their fear blinded them from viewing a dead parachutist instead of a beast. The confirmation of a beast only greatens the dispute between Ralph and Jack that separates them. This prompted Jack to instantly demand for a hunt and prevents the boys from continuing the signal fire and building huts. The fear of the unknown gives Jack more power than Ralph since he is a hunter and promises the boys to kill the beast. As a result, Jack has the power to leave the group with the assurance that he will not be alone. The separation of the boys is a consequence of

In the meantime, someone is kidnapping omegas. When Emperor Vasily sends his personal bodyguard, Lyn Devereaux to seek Joey's help, the small man flatly refuses unless Vasily will meet his demands. The emperor has a reputation of never negotiating, so when he says no, so does Joey. Desperate, Vasily finally caves to the omegas terms, freeing his lover.

Ralph said the beast had teeth and big, black eyes. I’m kind of scared now. Jack took the conch and started blowing into it like he don’t know what he’s doing. He said that Ralph shouldn’t be the chief because he’s a coward. But we took a vote again to see who should be chief and no one voted for Jack. Then he stormed away saying that he was going to hunt by himself and you could join him. We don’t need Jack; we can do without him. I suggested we moved the fire to down here on the beach so we don’t have to go up on that mountain. We made a new fire. I noticed some boys like Maurice, Bill, and Roger left—I expect they joined Jack’s tribe. We don’t need ‘em anyways. Ralph and me had done some talking: he doesn’t know what to do and is losing faith in getting rescued. I told him we just got to move on—be like the grownups. Then Jack and some of his hunters burst out of the trees making loud noises. I thought they were after the conch so I went to protect that. He told us he was having a feast and we could join him in his tribe. His hunters stole some fire from us during their

Everyone think a guy named Jack Culpeper was killed by wolves, but Grace doesn't believe that. So the town decide to let the hunters kill the wolves. Grace found out by Isabel Culpeper, Jack Culpeper's sister. Once she found out, she ran out of school and got in her car. Her car broke down when she got near the woods. She saw the hunters walking in the forest wearing orange bright caps and holding shotguns. She had to make-up a lie so the hunters will stop hunting for the wolves, so she went to the police officer and told him "you need to stop them, my friend is in there taking pictures". It took awhile for her to convince him but she succeed. He was taking so long and Grace knew he was doing it on purpose. So Grace, being fearless, she jumped in the ditch and started running towards the hunters. She caught up to them convince them to stop. The police officer caught up to her and told how dangerous what she just did, but she didn't listening. She was too busy thinking about the wolves, her

Frost ran through the forest at full speed. All he could see were blurs of green and brown trees. He knew his only chance at survival was to outrun the pack, but that was not an easy task. As Frost ran he recalled how he ended up here, he had been invited to a pack hunt. This was both very unusual and an honor, the reason being that Frost is an omega in his pack. The pack had successfully hunted down three large bucks. As an omega Frost was given a low ranking job, his job along with the other omega’s was to take the food home. After that they would have a feast, Frost being ranked omega would eat last along with the other omegas. That is where Frost made his mistake, Frost had dishonored the Alpha therefore the whole pack. Now the hunting party that had been assembled yesterday was hunting him, including his fellow omega friends. He knew the Alpha must had threatened their families, otherwise they would never hunt him. Frost tries to keep running, but his legs won’t work correctly. Out of the corner of his eye he sees a tawny

The character Alonzo does dominate women but this domination is selective. For example, fourteen and fifty second in the Alonzo verbally threaten the female college student during the drug stop. Alonzo stated “move again and I’ll slap the taste out your Mouth”. But eleven minutes and thirty second Alonzo self-disclosed he has four children and refer to one of his children mother as Queens. The term Queen is use to described a woman of foremost or preeminent respect (Dictionary). To be respected is to be equal. I can only conclude Alonzo desire to dominate women is selective. Another example is fifty two minutes Alonzo tells Sara to cook Jake some food. Sara hesitation slightly but said “okay”. Alonzo did not say or did not acknowledge Sara’s slight hesitation. The
