In Chapter 16 of The Gospel of Matthew, the dynamics of Simon and Jesus’ relationship quickly change. Peter says, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God” (Mt.16.16) and Jesus replies, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah!” (Mt.16.17) but then Peter rebukes him soon after and Jesus says, “Get behind me, Satan!” (Mt.16.23) What does placing these two moments together reveal about Jesus?

dragging on. The film involves lots of symbolism and an example of this is; the charm off of Susie’s bracelet, it symbolises her own life and her murderer plays with the charm every time he thinks of the day he murdered Susie Salmon.

popular theory that everyone associates with Peter Pan is the theme of the innocence of childhood contrasting against the responsibility of adulthood and the transition of puberty. In this theory, Peter Pan is just an adventure-loving character based off of real-life people.

In Golding’s Lord of the Flies, as the schoolboys’ dilemma on the island continues, the horrifying, but mere idea of the “beastie” casts a constant fear in their minds that only conceals the true savagery that has been implanted into human society beforehand.

As described by Golding, the savages kill a pig and leave its head on a stick in the forest, while Jack states, “This is for the beast. It’s a gift”

In the novel, Lord of the Flies, William Golding uses the appearance of the beast to represent the boy's inner savagery that is being battled and embraced by the characters of Ralph and Jack. Through the beast, Golding suggests that fear is a powerful tool that can be used as a weapon to control others and can even eventually consume the minds of sane individuals. Body Paragraph #1: The beast is a representation of the boy’s savage instincts and characteristics, and is portrayed through the way

What do you picture in your mind when someone mentions a beast? Fangs? Claws? That is what the castaways believe the beast to look like on the island in William Golding’s Lord of the Flies. The story follows several school boys who have crashed onto an exotic island. They elect a leader, Ralph, and they break up into groups: the hunters, the “littluns”, and the hut builders. Soon the “littluns" become frightened of a beast that no one has seen, and it becomes an obsession of the islanders. They interpret

Childhood Dreams and Growing Up In Ernest Buckler’s short story, “Penny in the Dust”, the character, Pete, is a dreamer who often lives in his head filled with fantasies, something that causes an emotional rift to form between him and his father. To begin with, Pete is a dreamer because he loves to fantasize about childish things, making him awkward and unsure of how to express his imagination to his father. As he explains, “It was as if his sure-footed way in the fields forsook him the moment he

Galilee-Days after the crucifixion of Jesus several people witnessed the risen Son of God, Jesus. As it was foretold by Jesus to his followers he rose from the dead to fulfill the scriptures.
