Ship Of Gold By Scholastic

The term “Gold Rush” means whenever a large amount of gold is found in a certain place a lot of people come to get it.

In William Golding’s Lord of The Flies, the detriments of an unrefined civilization, such as one without leadership and indulgent citizens who are amoral, can be catastrophic, causing extreme repercussions to society. A lack of solid leadership, such as the arbitrary leader Ralph, can cause confusion, apprehension, and chaos. Jack and other children often indulge their impulses which clouds their judgement causing them to undermine their society. By not reinforcing the difference between savagery and humanity, many people begin to die. Ralph clearly is not well-equipped to lead a group of young men.

The island in William Golding’s novel, Lord Of The Flies, is one of wonder and a great deal of natural resources. However what develops on this oasis is war, bloodshed and cruelty. This could also be said for Earth, as the same traits occur in the global society as well. Therefor, the island symbolises the entire outside world in three key ways, social relationships, war, and politics.

William Golding utilizes Lord of the Flies to prove that the inherent nature of man is truly savage and cannot be contained by any form of civil government. Characters, setting, atmosphere, and other elements are all used by Golding in the novel as metaphors and symbols to ultimately reveal the natural intention of man. In Thomas Hobbes’ Leviathan, John Locke’s Concerning Civil Government , and Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s The Social Contract, they share their own personal interpretations on man’s inherent nature, with the closest to Golding being Hobbes. Although both Golding and Hobbes state that man’s true nature is evil and selfish, Hobbes advocates for an absolutist government as capable of controlling man through fear of punishment, as opposed to Golding’s belief that no form of government is sufficient to control man. Conversely, Rousseau argues that men are born with morality and inalienable freedom, and John Locke believes that man is free but is neither inherently reputable nor immoral but a blank slate. Both want the people to be in control to prevent corruption from changing man, although Rousseau insists that a direct democracy to completely give power to the people would be more effective rather than only a representative democracy where the people would have individuals represent them which Locke suggests.

The Gold Rush is considered as one of the most significant events in the American history. It began after James Marshall discovered gold form the Sutter’s mill in Coloma, California on January 24, 1948. Though James and Sutter tired to keep this news as secret, there was one newspaper reported it. As the news spread so fast across the country and around the world that attracted hundreds of thousands of gold seekers from different areas came to California.

The California gold rush January 24 1848 was a very interesting time to be alive. In 1848 James Marshall was walking along the the side of the river of his job site where he was building a factory to turn logs into planks, he turned around to the site, but on the corner of his eye he saw something shiny in the water he picked up the shiny pea and realized it was

Every human being has a neutral nature, but making that nature inherently good or bad depends on the person and his surroundings. In the novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding, talks about a plane that crashed into an island and killed all the adults, but a group of school boys left survived, and they became increasingly savage. The characters’ natures are inherently good in this text.

Have you ever watched the movie Pirates of the Caribbean? If you have you may or may not think that’s how the life of a pirate was in the 1700s. This is necessarily true though. I believe that the life of a pirate is not as glamorous as Hollywood portrays it.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt once said, “When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on.” He implies that once you feel like it is almost over, do not give up and let go. He expects that we do our best to hold on as if we do, help will surely come. On January 12, 2010 a monstrous 7.0 earthquake struck the poverty-stricken country of Haiti. Around 220,000 people died and 300,000 were injured. This tragedy exacerbated the conditions in Haiti. After 27 days all hope of survivors was lost until Evans Monsignac, a 27-year-old father of two, was found under the rubble, alive. This unbelievable story reached headlines across the world about this young man surviving 27 days under rubble. He had nothing to eat or drink except for the sewage that oozed through the rubble. Monsignac knew it was the end of the rope for him, but he held on believing that as long as he could hold on, help would arrive. These survival stories are the basis for many well-written novels such as Life of Pi, Hatchet, and The Hunger Games. Lord of the Flies by William Golding (LOTF), a perfect example of survival, explains the savagery of young boys as they hold onto their last bit of rope on a deserted island. Jack and Ralph, two main characters of the story, quarrel with each other in hopes of showing the other boys the proper way to live or ‘hang on’.

There is a little evil deep down beneath most people. Lord of the Flies, by Nobel-Prize winning English author William Golding,describes the journey of a group of young boys who wake up stranded on an deserted island and describes how they try to survive, all while trying to get rescued. The struggles of survival demonstrate the savagery and transformation of some boys adapting to the environment on the island. Many of the boys become wild animals although there are three in particular who show their inner beast the most, Jack, Roger and the Lord of the Flies himself.

Sometimes people wear fake personas like a cloak over their shoulders, used to hide what is really underneath. This harsh reality is witnessed in William Golding’s classic Lord of the Flies, a novel that is famous for not only its sickening plot, but also for the emotional breakdowns all of its characters experience. These issues are akin to those shown in certain real-world psychological experiments. A summary of Golding’s Lord of the Flies, combined with the evidence shown in a psychological experiment referred to as “The Bystander Effect”, describe how the disturbing behaviors in each scenario parallel one another and show the dark side of humanity.

Civilization has been mankind’s attempt to quell the natural savagery that most humans hold. However, civilization is imperfect and will often get destroyed once the natural savagery of humans finds no limits and there is not enough that is done about disobeying of rules and order. The conflict may stay at a stalemate for some time, but eventually the savagery of humans will eventually win out. In Lord of the Flies, William Golding uses the conflict between Ralph and Jack to show that when savagery and order conflict with each other, savagery will usually win out over order in the long run.

Gone was a very action pact, exciting, and vigorous book. When I read Lord of the Flies I thought it was the best book ever, but that has changed. Gone was such an intriguing book because something like this could never happen in real life. I love books that could never happen in this world. When I was reading this book it felt like a dream. When I would go to sleep I was dreaming about the part I read, but the main character was me. One day everyone fifteen and older disappears. Then there is this giant dome cover a whole entire city. There was no phone or cable service and all the kids were in school. That is not the only weird thing about the book; some of the characters have power. Caine and Sam can shoot long beams out of their

Imagine yourself in one of the characters shoes in the novel “Lord of the flies.” You would see yourself loaded with responsibilities, major decisions, etc. “Lord of the Flies” represents a microcosm of adult society. The island can act as a democratic government, demonstrate knowledge, and each character can demonstrate an aspect of adult society. William Golding was in the Royal Navy during WWII. He creates a smaller image for what’s really happening in the world.

Sky and Sea (2016) by Abby Gibson is a depiction of elements common found in the sea now in space. The medium of this piece of artwork is digital pigment print. The dimensions of the piece are approximately 1.5 ft. by 3 ft. The piece consists of a black background that depicts the vastness of space with shells and rocks as planets. The artist also depicts the waves of the sea as clouds of cosmic dust which exists in outer space, plus she uses sand found in the sea to represent stars far away in deep space. The artist is trying the say that even though space and the sea two completely different entities they have many similar characteristics.
