The only reason they voted for Ralph was because he had the conch. This shows how important the conch was to all the kids at first, but as the boys became more and more savage the conch started to be worthless to them, along with civilization and order. The conch was originally a powerful symbol of civilization and leadership, but the boys stopped caring about it, so they stopped caring about the last bit of civilization they still had. There was still a small sense of civilization left in all the children that kept that kept them from becoming total savages. But that was lost when Roger killed Piggy and destroyed the conch.
In the book Paul feels that they have no reason to be fighting and that they have been abated to beasts just trying to protect themselves from others who are doing the same. At such a young age him and his comrades are exposed to so much tragedy, Paul stated that “Our knowledge of life is limited to death, what will come afterwards? And what will happen to us” (264). For the soldiers who die fighting in the war it is unfair what becomes of them. People who died a noble death get treated as if they are nothing, and were never anyone.
Therefore, a slave’s life seemed worthless in the world, and this stopped many slaves from trying to escape because they knew that if they were caught they would most likely be killed. As a result, slave owners dominated slaves by using fearful antics and by severely punishing slaves. This complete domination over slaves caused the ruling class to be very confident in their social status. However, only clever slaves realized that the benefits of escaping slavery outweighed the consequences. Clever slaves knew that if they did not try and free themselves that their social standing would always remain the same and nothing would ever change.
They need not fell hostile, for I am coming in peace. All I see now is what appears to be soldiers, flinging sharp objects at me. These objects are coming towards me, but all it does is tickle me; but then I see that it is coming by the hundreds, maybe more. I became scared and, out of instinct, I began to eat the soldiers. I did not mean to eat the men that were assaulting me.
People are taught to feel ashamed of their looks so that they would never question getting cosmetic surgery to fit in. However, if everyone were an ugly, perhaps no one would be considered ugly. However, the pretty society has perfectly good reasons for their laws. For one thing, the previous society, now known as the “Rusties,” is remembered as a wasteful culture, one that nearly destroyed the planet. Pretties live in isolation from nature so that they will not destroy it.
No Impact Man Colin Beavan made the ultimate life-changing sacrifice by doing the No Impact Project. In the book No Impact Man, Beavan’s methods were probably a little improbable to the average Joe. One of the methods Beavan did was turning off electricity completely in his apartment to stop releasing carbon in the air. Also, Beavan bought food from only a 250 miles radius and only used reusable grocery bags. Though Colin Beavan completely changed his lifestyle to make a positive impact on the environment, not everyone can completely change because of the lack of time, discipline or capital, but we can always cut down on the negative effects that we apply on the earth.
Our school is surrounded by sharp wire so we don’t runaway. My friend was taken away from her family from Rosebud reservation to come to school. She cries all the time because her heart hurts for her mom. The teachers would beat me and my friends if we spoke our native Lakota language. Forced to convert to be Christians, not practice old ways.
A few teachers spoke on having more safety measuring during school and after school. Some parent asked about having longer after school programs for the care of their kids do to their hours of work. They needed somewhere for their kids to go after school until they get off work that was affordable . I was really more concerned with why they don’t have more college pre programs for the kids and why was it taking so long for them to hire an coach for the football
Kids in Canada get Fresh, clean water and it's as easy as turning on the tap in the Kition. Their parents go to work in the day and earn money while the kids go to school. However, in Afghanistan, the kids have to go get their water from wells and taps outside of their house that can be far away. For Afghan girls, it is hard to go to school and most don't go at all. Instead of going to school some girls have to pretend to be a boy and cut their hair so they can make money.
I did not understand how different my family was until I started attending school. My parents separated when I was very young, almost too young to remember, so my older sisters were left to raise me and do everything parents are supposed to do. It was very clear that not everyone was being raised by their sisters. It was embarrassing to have parents get a divorce especially because it went against the Catholic religion. In school my friend’s parents came together to parent conferences.
