As Henry Miller once said, “Chaos is the score upon which reality is written” (“Chaos Quotes”). Miller seems to believe that no matter what actions we take, the world is destined to return to chaos. He seems to be right. Today’s world has been overrun by social issues such as hunger, segregation and depression. While government programs everywhere take action to prevent these issues, their efforts are futile. The truth is, to prevent these social issues, the world must kill the seed from which they grow.

Currently, on the island, the beast was in everyone's thoughts and dreams. During the night, the littluns would scream during their sleep due to a figure known as the beast. Jack exclaims to Ralph that there was no beast on the island and there is nothing to be afraid of. Later on, in chapter 5 during an assembly, Jack declared that “...We’re strong–we hunt! If there’s a beast, we’ll hunt it down! We’ll close in and beat and beat and beat–!” (91).

In one of the scenes in the book, Cupcake says that: “I’d quit talking to Daddy and Jr. because all we did was argue: they fussed about how I was f-----g my life, and I wanted to know if they had any money I could borrow. In my mind, unless they had money to give, we had nothing to talk about,” (326).

But she didn’t need to shoot the gun at all, first off Billy was shooting them with a BB Gun, and three of them were safe undercover behind a table, and the fourth child made it upstairs, they could have waited for him to get tired of shooting or run out of BB’s. But the way their father brought them up, gave them the

At a young age, Jeannette’s experience with fire has showed her that the world is full of danger. She sees that the world “at any moment could erupt into fire.” Jeannette’s thought of “if the fire had been out to get me”, shows that she believes fire is a reoccurrence in her life. The element of fire serves as a symbol of how one misfortune event is connected to another in Jeannette’s childhood, like the way “all fire was related.” It also foreshadows that Peace for Jeannette only lasts momentarily. Throughout the story, Jeannette and her family encountered countless struggles. However, these struggles had trained Jeannette and her siblings to be strong individuals. It also required the children to take care of each other and appreciate what

The lost boys’ names were: Tootles & Nibs (Barrie 48), Slightly, Curly & the twins (Barrie 49). On page 58, Tinkerbell tries to kill Wendy by tricking Tootles into shooting her (Barrie). Before this, Tink expressed her extreme jealousy of Peter’s affection for Wendy and attacked Wendy when Peter gave her a “Thimble,” which is actually a kiss (Barrie 29).
