9/11 2001 affected Americans because it was is the most tragic day in American history. Members of Al Qaudea, hijacked American Air Line’s airplanes, and crashed them into many buildings such as the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and were possibly going toward the White House. September 11 showed America that we’re not invincible and we need to expect the unexpected, to prepare for the future, and to be ready for anything.

At the beginning, the character Piggy mentions that there is a war going on. In the third or fourth chapter, the corpse of a dead paratrooper drops from the sky on to the island. The cause of the paratrooper's death is of course, war. But then again, isn't that the same thing that caused the children to be stranded on the island in the first place? And at the end of the novel, the island is scroched as Jack's tribe hunts down Ralph.
Comparing the themes of “The Pedestrian” and “There Will Come Soft Rains” The theme of these two short stories was that as technology advances, and we rely on it more, humans will not be needed. An example of this from “The Pedestrian” is when the police car is arresting Leonard Mead. The passage says “He walked like a man suddenly drunk. As he passed the front window of the car he looked in. As he had expected, there was no one in the front seat, no one in the car at all.” Even though there was no body in the car, Leonard still obeyed what he was told to do.
Source one provides evidence of the tremendous damage caused by the bombing of Darwin. “In the first attack, which began just before 10.00 am, heavy bombers pattern-bombed the harbour and town; dive bombers escorted by Zero fighters then attacked shipping in the harbour, the military and civil aerodromes, and the hospital at Berrimah. The attack ceased after about 40 minutes. The second attack, which began an hour later, involved high altitude bombing of the Royal Australian Air Force base at Parap which lasted for 20–25 minutes. The two raids killed at least 243 people and between 300 and 400 were wounded.
Pilots turned down American's last and final contract offer, with a 61 percent of those that voted. According to A.P.A.’s former president, ratifying the tentative agreement would have been the best course for the pilot members, for the pilots could face stricter terms should the judge overseeing American's bankruptcy allow the airline to end its current contract with the union. Union organizers claim this decision by the pilots shows they have not forgotten that several years ago, with bankruptcy looming for the airline, all employee groups chose to sacrifice pay and benefits to keep American Airlines solvent. While other airlines, pursuing traditional methods, filed for
The people in Montag’s society are banned by their government to read anything that has any philosophies or intellectual thought. The people do not want to read books in the first place because books do not give them the immediate interaction response the televisions walls does. They do not want to have to think and use their mind. This is expressed when Mildred is yelling at Montag about how useless books are and she says, “Books aren't people. You read and I look around, but there isn't anybody!” (73).
This is tragic because none of the other boys has this. Ralph and Piggy act out of the rules of society while Jack and Roger act out of ruthless nature, but Simon acts out of neither and is just naturally
For the older generations that love to read, it is effective, but for the younger generations its not, because it’s long, with a bunch of paragraphs and no graphics, so it would be boring, something that a regular teen would call it. 6. 7. 8.

Tamara Shousher ENG2D 4 Pages Mrs. Bailey Lord of the Flies Essay May, 11 2012 The Loss of Innocence in the Novel Lord of the Flies William Golding If you were trapped on an island, would you stay the same or would you let the island overcome who you are? In Lord of the Flies by William Golding we face many situations where all the boys who crashed on this unknown island lose their innocence. The reality of civilization is crucial to keep the innocence and legitimacy of man from "escaping." Due to the lack of civilization throughout The Lord of The Flies the boys become progressively cruel and primitive revealing the true nature of man. The boys do so by caring only about hunting, losing their ethics and their feeling for friendship.
The findings cannot be generalised globally to other cultures and races as the study only involved American, black and white inmates. Harer and Steffenmeier’s study also used secondary data which poses no ethical issues but may be unreliable and outdated. Further limitations of this model were put forward by McCorkle et al who claim that The Importation Model fails to highlight suggestions on how to control violent offenders, or how to reduce prison cruelty. Moreover, this model predicts that previous gang members also increase levels of institutional violence. However, DeLisi et al studied over 800 male inmates and found no correlation between gang membership and institutional violence.
