For a society to ever succeed there must is work to be done and everyone must contribute in some way. Most of the littluns could not contribute very much, only being able to reach some fruit and spending the rest of their time playing. The bigger kids had the capability of contributing to the society but since it was a “free society” they chose to swim and play instead.

Lord of The Flies Essay In Lord of the Flies, author William Golding uses symbolism to project the nature of mankind.

When mentions of airplanes, New York, and the Middle East are placed together, it is common to think that the author is alluding to the attacks on our World Trade Center in 2001. However, this is not the case. None of the airplanes used to attack our nations came from JFK airport. When doing further reading, I noticed the author says “ whole flocks are being gassed near JFK” and that “they’re going to make the opposition pay.” It is clear now that her allusion to our country’s War on Terror. These “whole flocks” had to be fleets of planes being sent over seas to avenge the death of our nation’s tallest twins.
Ironically, Winston’s job in the Ministry of Truth is to fix any documents the Party finds necessary revise- newspaper articles, photos, or even simple numerical figures for production to give a false image of a flourishing economy. The Ministry also writes and ‘vaporizes’ people out of history -- they go "down the memory hole" as if they never existed. An example of this is when Winston is faced with the task of eradicating all information and reference to an ‘unperson’ in a newspaper article. He proceeds to write an article about Comrade Ogilvy, a fictional party member, who displayed immense bravery and courage by jumping into the sea from a helicopter and saved the dispatches from the enemy. Consequently, this excessive amount of censoring and perpetual revision of the past causes the memories of citizens to become vague and hazy; people become more willing to believe whatever the Party tells them.
Everyone would be able to get the education that they need in order to get the job that they want instead of having to sit at a job that they don’t want because of the fact that they don’t have the education for it. A Constitution republic and the socialism are alike in very few ways but I’m going to take the time and explain these ways. First they both are a government were nobody can actually rule over an individual. I like the fact that we have a voice to speak and no government can rule over the people because we have that opportunity to speak for ourselves. Also another thing about these two governments that make them alike is they both give everyone the opportunity to get a good job and education so that not one person is left behind.
