What the conch symbolizes in the story leadership and order. To the boys the conch was everything, but there was a rule and Piggy made it; it was “You must have the conch to speak in the council.” When Ralph blew the conch it would make a beautiful sound and a very loud one at that. The boys would come and sit and talk that shows leadership. Later on the story Ralph and a boy argue throughout the story and couldn’t agree on a thing; there was a huge power struggle between them. The boys split up and it’s just Ralph, Piggy, and SamnEric so Ralph has lost his leadership through the whole pack of kids.

After he finishes with Lady Anne his next plan is to get Queen Elizabeth and her Lords to believe that it is their fault that Clarence is locked away in prison and that he never hated them.

Firstly, he was certainly a good leader. Throughout his journal, he used the word “determined” a lot and never changed his mind. He decided to count less than the true in order to maintain good psychology among the sailors. When his crews were terrified because they made a mistake in finding the right direction, the Admiral discovered the cause and gave them order to correct it. His belief was also revealed when he got an island, one of the first things he came up with was they had no religion: “As I saw that they were very friendly to us, and perceived that they could be easily converted to our holy faith by gentle means than force”.
In Buchenwald, Mr. Wiesel dies and Elie was too pained to weep. April 11, 1945, the Jews had finally been freed. “Night” was a very tragic and interesting book. What I enjoyed about this novel was that I learned real facts. For example, how the Jews were treated unfairly.
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Many scholars and critics complain that Mark Twain botches the ending of his novel. I think the ending is was consistent with the entire novel and is important the way it is. Huckleberry Finn (Huck) is actually poised and ready for change in this life and his progression was not destroyed as a result of the ending. As a reader I was able to see Huck go from an unsure boy to a confident young adult with a great sense of right and wrong. We are reminded again with the ending to remember that Huck is just a simple boy who just wants to go with the flow of whatever life brings.
The relationship of Candy and his dog is parallel to that of Lennie and George and foreshadows the events that will occur in the end. Both men, George and Candy, feel guilty for their choice but in the end they know what they did was the right thing to do and to help their friend in the best way possible. The author also shows the true inner strength George holds within himself when he kills his best friend out of love. This novel shows how strong between two people can be and how true strength is within and is shown at the time of need and not shown off but instead sometimes surprising the person themselves when it becomes the only choice they have

In both stories the people of the towns are alright with sacrificing one so that everyone else can be happy. We as moral human beings know that this is wrong, but that is exactly a Utilitarian, whatever brings the most overall happiness even if that means sacrificing an innocent. Both stories represent the Utilitarian theme in their own way and are very powerful moral stories.

When one thinks of summer one generally thinks of pleasantness and happiness. His name is ironic because his job is essentially in contrast to these thoughts. He is in charge of the random stoning. It is also ironic that when old man warner hears that the north village is considering ending the lottery he says “next thing you know they’ll be wanting to go back to living in caves.” The lottery is as brutal and inhuman a ritual as any practiced by cavemen. Finally we learn that Mrs. Hutchinson will be the one selected to
Taking into account Scrooge’s nature it may be said that this is thoroughly true. All through the story it can be appreciated how Ebenezer treats people and how they respond to such nasty manners. For instance, the businessmen that Scrooge does business with frequently show no feeling about his death and go to his funeral simply for food. After having seen such an appalling flash of his future life the main character feels dreadfully blue. It is my view that people should treat others how they want to be treated, the kinder and more generous people are, the happier they will
