The reason why the conch shell represents order is because in the lord of flies ralph used it to call the first meeting to order. The conch shell also represents order in a different type of order just like in the book how ralph kept everything in order, everyone had a job and purpose, but as soon as the rules of the conch started to fade away so did the order on the island. The conch shell represents civilization because, when the boys first got on the island ralph and piggy knew they would need to keep everything in order to be able to survive. Then they spot the conch shell at the lagoon and they fish it out of the water. Then ralph and piggy come up with the idea that whoever holds the conch is the only one who is allowed to speak at the meetings.

In both stories, the black characters are already prejudged by the white people they come across. The people who are targeted by the racism will overcome and continue to live their lives. The stories happen in different parts of the world, but the mindset of discrimination was the same everywhere at that particular time in history. Wright writes about Jim, a merchant sailor. Olaf was a merchant sailor just like Jim when he was younger; the only problem with Olaf was the color of his skin and his intimidating size.
If there a was a battle that others couldn’t beat, he would strategize and bring out all his intelligent’s to be the best at it and prove to others he deserved his spot. “He jumped at the giant, clambered up his lip and nose and began to dig in the giants eye”(64). No matter how hard ender played and studied it was never good enough for him and would always give it everything he had. Ender Wiggin the most sensitive, determined but yet intelligent boy. When
Animals: Hope amidst Devastation Symbolism is a very important literary device in many novels. Symbols help to communicate important messages, themes or ideas in a novel in shorter and more meaningful sentences. They are used to tell or represent something else as it has a relationship with it. In Timothy Findley’s The Wars, there is one symbol present throughout the entirety of the novel-animals. Numerous animals are mentioned many times throughout this novel.
Every person has a bit of savagery within them no matter how orderly and civilized they may appear to be. William Golding uses many symbols in his novel Lord of the Flies to show this theme. Some of these symbols include objects such as the conch shell, Piggy’s glasses and the pig head. Golding also uses people like Ralph or Jack as symbols throughout the story. First is the conch.
The Rideau River Ecosystem and Food Web Team A BIO/101 Brian Fox The Rideau River Ecosystems are biological populations of interacting organisms and their physical surroundings. Many are areas of lands that have changed due to the nearby water currents. These areas of land are home to many animals and plants that have adapted to survive. Each individual ecosystem is comprised of different features that make it conducive to certain plants and animals. That means each ecosystem is unique.
Newkirk’s words are a little redundant when saying that “each one values his or her life and fights the knife.” Every animal in the world values its life and has a natural instinct for survival and reproduction. For example, the mayfly has a life cycle of only 24 hours. The aquatic insect's sole purpose is to hatch and reproduce, and its survival depends on quantity, so they immediately get to work mating to ensure their existence continues. Humans are the driving force to ensure that the cow, hen, and pig species all survive. However, the activist believes survival is not enough.
I know I couldn’t but I guess that’s where bravery kicks in for this well-known hero name Beowulf. Beowulf is very wise and i stick with my statement because he thinks before he talk or do anything. Like with Grendel, the whole entire land of the kings’ men was trying their hardest to kill him. But Beowulf stayed up all and analyzed Grendel as he killed one the men. He prepared for every fight thoroughly.
He put his life on the line for the people but not just for the people some for his own selfish reasons as described above. His pride would not let him back down from a challenge or waiver in any sort of battle/competition. His greedy ways sent him on a course headed for destruction since he had an insatiable appetite for fame and glory. All together Beowulf was a great guy that did what he could for the people that praised him. He had faults just like everyone else because nobody is perfect.
