Synopsis Of ' The Flies ' By F. Scott Fitzgerald

After giving birth to her new daughter, it is clear that Kevin is only becoming more violent and hateful. Eva gets her daughter a guinea pig which she adores for a whole day before Kevin gets a hold of it. In time, the mother realizes that Kevin put the pet down the garbage disposal in hopes to distinguish his innocent sister’s happiness. As a final blow, Kevin splashes a chemical in her eye while they are alone and she loses her eye due to the incident. At this point, Eva tells her husband that Kevin is causing all of the problems the family is facing, including the harm done to the daughter. To no surprise, the husband rejects this claim and projects it back on to Eva, says that as she is the mother she “could fix it if (she) wanted to,” and it is “your fault for leaving the chemicals out.” This rejection of support from her husband and lack of empathy for the troubles that Eva has endured, allows their marriage to suffer dramatically. After the incident, Eva’s husband forces her to sit down with Kevin and assure him that nothing that has happened was his fault. She has a hard time doing this because she Eva stays quiet to her husband and tries to shelter and influence her daughter to be a perfect woman and not get caught in the danger of Kevin again. Eva feels guilt for her daughter being brought into such a sour life circumstance and pours everything she has into her daughter, trying to make her life better than what she has. “Mother’s wanted their daughters

The book starts in a small little village that is rebuilding after the sun flares, the sun flares destroyed most everything on earth and very few things actually lived. There we meet Mark, Alec and Trina who then go to get breakfast where we meet Darnell, Toad, and Misty, when suddenly a Berg, which is a large airship, appears over the village. The berg stays suspended in the air while the hatch opens. Inside people in green suits with tube like items look down at the people of the village who have all crowded together, they then start shooting darts, and all hell breaks loose.

A plane crashes onto a deserted island and the only survivors are schoolboys. Ralph and Piggy use a conch shell they found on the beach to signal to any other survivors. A choir group appears as well as younger children that are later called ‘littluns’. A meeting is held in which Ralph is voted to be the leader. He places Jack in charge of hunting food. After exploring the island with Piggy and Simon, a signal fire is made per request by Ralph, but those in charge of it become distracted and the fire rages out of control. During this time, a ‘littlun’ disappears and is believed to have been consumed by the fire in the midst of chaos. In the beginning, the boys enjoy their life away from responsibilities and adults telling them what to do, but

In this novel, The Lord of the Flies proves that humans are naturally violent and savage, which makes civic order impossible to sustain. To begin with when people test each other in this case when the boys are testing each other it results into savagery. Whether the boys test each other patience or position it ends up with a negative outcome. Secondly, without authority people have no order, and begin to think that they can do whatever they want, and nothing bad will come out of it. Lastly, human beings cannot sustain a civilized state.

You’re working on a simple word search, 15 letters wide, 15 letter tall, just a little word search. You’ve got 11 words down, 1 word left, you got this in the bag, no big deal right? 5 minutes go by. “You’ll find it.” You say to yourself. 10 minutes. “Where could it be?” 15 minutes. “This is impossible, who made this crazy puzzle?” 20 minutes in, there it is, dead center, written forward, looking you straight in the eye. As you cross off the last word in the word bank you’re flooded with an essence of relief, you found it, you won. The next puzzle is a bit bigger though, instead of looking for words you are looking for phrases, sentences, repeated words and events, and you have 169,481 words to look though, spread out over 455 pages, and the man behind the puzzle, John Steinbeck, is a literary genius. One of the best. Using his characters like Jim Casy and Grandpa Joad, Steinbeck hid things in the words of every page. We see many themes in what is hidden, one that is very evident yet far deeper than what may have ever been intended. It is the biblical allusion shining through our favorite characters, many a time.

Amelia patted him on the shoulder “You’re aces kid and you know it. Tell them!” It seemed to be too much encouragement because the blush ran higher and he went quiet. Cassandra gave Edgar a wink and a teasing smile, she knew how to relax him when it seemed none of the others did. William glanced at Penelope “Actually, I think you should contract Penelope she’s the only one here who hasn’t shown her tricks yet.” This was an undeniable truth, Penelope had always possessed the ability to go unnoticed, it was bordering on the superhuman.

Similar to a circle, Ryan 's face is rounded just enough for his Aunt to love it. Despite a chubby face and fingers, his body is small. Fragile. In the six years of his life he has come to enjoy learning new concepts. He understands that to draw a house he must start with a square base. A roof is nothing more than a triangle on top. Add two squares for Windows and a rectangle for a door and Ryan has drawn a squiggly lined house.

In both of the stories there are boys that request a general human need to survive in this cold,cruel, horrible world.They are beat and horribly mistreated and they either will be hung or beaten to DEATH!!!!!! =)

Jack angered and indignant decided to lead yet another hunt. This time he was in search of a pig for a feast but also to leave some of it to the beast. Jack and his hunters spotted a female pig as they were wandering into the forest. A black and pink pig was lying apart from all the trees with a row of piglets by her side that slept and squealed. The boys threw sharp spears at the chosen mother pig. The piglets scattered away and the mother impaled by the spear squealed and ran. The hunters ran after her tracing the pig-track and drops of blood painted along the path.

The next morning, Tokola was outside when they awoke. Charity told him that she wanted him to have all of her grandfather’s things. She was taking just one thing of his, a small, hand-carved eagle; she was leaving the rest behind. It was not that she did not want to take everything with her; she did. If possible, she would have stuffed the entire cabin into her trunk to take with her- but she knew it wasn’t feasible- and, in the back of her mind, she thought that maybe one day in the future, she could return. She told Tokola that he was welcome to stay at the cabin for as long as he wanted to- her grandfather would like that. He’d often asked Tokola to live there with them, and then joked about Tokola’s wandering bone when he stayed

Mae continued, exhausted and bloody, from bushes and trees that all contained spikes. When she finally thought she could go on no more. A door appeared, calling her near. It stuck out of the ground, like a beacon at night. She stumbles closer and closer as rain began to pour. The rusted door hardly opened, and then she began to peer inside. The interior was dark, like a bat in a cave, but differently it was extremely wide. With many plain pillars holding up the roof. She began to expect that their was something aloof. Though her suspicions, she thought with glee, “At least this place will be safe for

chooses to subdue his desire to exact immediate revenge on a group of disrespectful maids because he knows it will ruin his chance of avenging all of his enemies in the future. Socrates notes how Odysseus is described as a dog in this instance, “like a bitch defending her pups against an interloper” (Ferrari 170). Thus Odysseus exemplifies the Auxiliaries’ resemblance to a dog: fiery and spirited in the face of injustice, but capable of restraining themselves if given the appropriate training and regulation. Just as abiding by a prearranged judgment in the midst of temptation benefitted Odysseus, subduing the spirit in compliance with the ingrained notions of how to be courageous and deferring to reason (through the mandates of the Guardians) is beneficial to the Auxiliaries. It is in their best interest to submit to the Guardians.

My name is Joseph Dyess and I am a huge fan of your book Lord of the Flies. It is one of my favorite books and is very thought-provoking. In writing you, I wanted to discuss my favorite parts of the book, as well as some ideas and real-life connections I made while reading it.

The audience first meets Orestes while he is in town seeking direction to Aegisthus’s house. Orestes attempts to get this information by knocking on a door in town but unfortunately the tenant of the house disregards him and closes the door on Orestes. Orestes continues through town when he expresses to his tutor that he believes that Zeus is following them. When Zeus finally approaches the two men the tutor asks “Pray, whom have I am the honor of addressing?” (Sartre, 51). Zeus replies “Demetrious is my name, and I hail from Athens.” (Sartre, 51). This is the first time that the audience gets any idea of where the name of the play may have come from. It is also the first time that Orestes and his tutor learn why there are suddenly so many flies in town.
