Lord Of The Flies And The Deathly Hallows

There are so many ways and reasons that people can change. You can change for love, passion, or to fit in. There are many more things that can change a person. I’m taking two stories and looking if the characters changed or stayed the same.

In almost all stories, the main character or characters usually have many personal experiences that change their views in one way or another. Three good examples of this are Abuela Invents the Zero ,Little Women ,and Home .One of these stories has one major experience that quickly affects that character's views. Another story includes many small events and moments that in the end affect a certain character's views and habits. The last story shows how previous life experiences turnout to not only not benefit but actually hurt. Notice that there can be many different kinds of situations that have an influence on a character and can change a character for better or for worse.

Transformation in the world happens when people are healed and start investing in other people- Michael W. Smith. Change plays a key role in one’s life. Change is what makes one’s life different from usual; change is needed in everyone’s life in order to maintain the fluency of life. The character Gregor Samsa’s in the book “Metamorphosis” by Franz Kafka symbolizes change, in which he gets transformed into a large insect. Change literally means to make or do something in a different manner to get a new result.

The book “Lord Of The Flies” is about a plane crashing onto an Island and no adult supervision left for the group young boys left behind. Once all of the boys that were scattered along the island gathered, they realized that they were left on there own and can do whatever they want to. The boys then created a structured civilization that doesn't quite strive throughout their time there. In the novel, “Lord Of The Flies” written by William Golding the novel supports philosopher Thomas Hobbes’ theory of the “Ruthless Savage” because the boys are portrayed as bullies and careless. The movie “The Hunger Games” shows several of the same qualities as the novel “Lord Of The Flies”.

“It was characteristic of Boy throughout his life that he was always the quintessence of something that somebody else had recognized and defined” (Davies 113). He believes that he is in control of every situation, but inside he cannot control his guilt that is still buried deep inside himself. Contrary to Dunstan who feels responsible for problems, Boy runs away from his problems by keeping himself busy. The death of Leola, his wife, clearly shows Boy’s fear of facing problems, for his does not show up for her funeral, “Boy was in England, arranging something or other connected with his Ministry, and duty and the difficulty of transatlantic flights in wartime kept him there”(Davies 194). Boy still yearns for fulfillment even though he achieves greatness in terms of his financial success and his outward appearance. He says, “I feel rotten. I’ve done just about everything I’ve ever planned to do and everybody thinks I’m a success… But sometimes I wish I could get into a car and drive away from the whole damned thing.” (Davies). Boy knows that deep inside he is very unsuccessful. As he gets older, he is supposed to be wiser, but his commitment to achieving the external greatness has stopped him from being fully satisfied. There is an immense difference in the lives of Boy and Dunstan. Boy’s focus on his external being causes him live an unfulfilled life, like a ‘boy’ who cannot see that there is

Change can be seen as a form of transformation or conversion. A form of change can be seen in “Victory Lap” by George Saunders, a short story written in such a way that the events that are enrolling throughout the story are being processed and told through the minds of three main characters. Having the perspective of each character allows us, the readers to get a much greater understanding about them and to make a better character analysis. Having said that, this story is simply about a girl, Alison getting kidnapped by an unnamed kidnapper. What were really captivating were the changes spotted on characters as the conflict progresses. One character in particular is very intriguing and his name is Kyle. One of our main character, Alison

Thwarted love. Ambition. Guilt. Sexuality. Fifth Business is rife with these life lessons. However, the most dominant themes in the novel are ambition and motivation. It is well known that excessive ambition and motivation can destroy someone, but, used correctly, can skyrocket someone to happiness, as in the case of Dunstan Ramsey, Percy Staunton, and Paul Dempster. These two qualities not only give these characters the will to keep on living, but also enable them to rise above the masses during the Great Depression. Right in the beginning of the novel, Dunstan displays his superior motivation and ambition through his learning of juvenile magic.

Many people have experienced situations that challenges their survival. Sometime people may experience a situation, like a friend betrayal or violence, in life that changes him/her short-term or have a long-term effect on the person you hurt or even yourself too. Everyone experiences, their own definition of survival, like taking five tests in a day or simply making it through the day, that can lead and help them find the insights of life that will guide them. Survival plays a role throughout two completely different stories which is what makes it different, but also displays resemblance that makes their stories similar. Amir, The Kite Runner, and the leader Ralph, Lord of the Flies, have both faced dramatic situations, betrayal of their friends, and violence making their each experience unique.

Among the others, the most prominent example of change is with Lou Ann. In the beginning of the book, when surrounded with a controlling and

The Lord of the Flies tells the story of a group of English schoolboys marooned on a tropical island after their plane is shot down during a war. Though the novel is fictional, its exploration of the idea of human evil is at least partly based on Golding’s experience with the real-life violence and brutality of World War II. Free from the rules and structures of civilization and society, the boys on the island in Lord of the Flies descend into savagery. Golding’s experience in World War II had a profound effect on his view of humanity and the evils of which it was capable. Although Golding’s story is confined to the microcosm of a group of boys, it resounds with implications far beyond the bounds of the small island and explores problems

In the novel, Fifth Business, we are introduced to a boy, Dunstan, whose journey goes through the process of individuation. Thus, his physical journey coincides with his spiritual journey. As Dunstan goes through his journey, with the help Diana Marfleet, Padre Blazon, and Liesl Vitzlipuzli, they serve a purpose of helping Dunstan define himself to grow towards individuation. Dunstan has lived a tough life with guilt in his hands. After being in a coma for six months, he meets Diana Marfleet.

Events are imagined to include or create. In Fifth Business, the fictional characters are what make the novel strange. Dunny’s perspective on different events and characters are strange to the other characters. His belief of Mrs. Dempster being a saint due to the miraculous events she was involved in. The first event would be the “revival” of his brother, Willie.

Fifth business suggest that the name change is not merely a new identity, but a growth from a boy to a man. Although Paul, Dunstable and Percy strived to move on beyond the truth to Mary Dempster illness; they found it hard to escape their past lives. With this in mind, Mary's ill condition could have been a passed down from a relative; this theory completely eliminates Dunstan from picture and the guilt that he's been carrying all these years. Nevertheless, despite Deptford view on certain things that took place; it will always be their hometown, a place where they first started. In conclusion to it all , fifth business teaches that to shape one's identity the person must feel completely free of guilt of their past experiences; in order,

The calculating Danny uses his innocence to fool most, which has led to the necessity of Tom’s cold work demeanour. In contrast Danny has developed a manipulative and dynamic character, adaptable to all environments he faces. Danny developed no real sense of identity as a child due to the abuse and turbulence he suffered, thus leading to him, ‘Borrow[ed] other people’s lives. … it was almost as if he had no shape of his own…’ (Page 171)

Changes are ineluctable. Incidents or an encounter with another individual in one’s life can alter a person’s personality or views. In the novel Great Expectations, Charles Dickens utilizes the elements of dynamic character and dialogue to portray the main character, Pip, as a benevolent person who is turned socially ambitious by the influence of wealth. He is used to represent a denotation that social status and affluence cannot bring self worth or contentment in an individual. Pip is conveyed as a dynamic character, who evolves from an innocent boy who is amiable and gracious.
