'When you are the authority, nothing can stop you. You need not lurk behind the shadows when the light shone upon you is your own'; (Hackers 49 min).

William Golding’s book, Lord of the Flies a group of boy’s crash land on a deserted island. Without any adults or rules the boys start to lose their civility.

you might see the white beaches, the beautiful blue waters and the palm trees, but what do you see inside? That’s where the uncertainty begins to set in, the unknown being thrown at your feet playing with your unconscious fear of the dangers that lurk beyond the white sand, the white land. When it comes to film, there are various stereotypical depictions that movie goers may or may not have acknowledged, such as ugly interiors, uncivilized natives and the way island control our emotions.

horror twisted itself across his features, like a snake” (54) just like animals lurk in rosebushes. The opening chapters of The Scarlet Letter not only introduce the basic elements but, they foreshadow the novel to be an example of “human frailty” (42). Chillingworth is introduced in the early chapters to foreshadow how his persona and actions will certainly have its consequences. As Chillingworth, the menace, lurks in the rosebush to reach the rose he truly wants (Dimmesdale), eventually the
discusses how The Lord of the Flies by William Golding refers to the instinct in all humans through the characters of Ralph, Jack and Piggy, and serves as a reminder to us all of what we can and cannot control. Dalrymple discusses the “evil of man” which lurks in us all, the ruthless barbarian inclination to do whatever, whenever. The price of decency is eternal vigilance, according to Dalrymple, because there is an evil awaiting its opportunity to take over. The author also points out of the idea that evil

This explains how these African-American teenagers think that they are cool because they dropped out of high school. "We / Lurk late" (3-4). The facts that they lurk late just aids in understanding that these teenagers are dropouts because otherwise they would not be out as late. Not only are these young African-Americans dropouts who stay out late at night, they also get into fights. We / Strike
Modern philosophers warn, “The scariest monsters are the ones that lurk in our souls.” (@Edgar_Allan_Poe,“The scariest monsters are the ones that lurk within our souls.” November 9, 2011. 9:51AM, Tweet.) Our souls chill from gothic horror, a genre full of frightening entities and alarming atmospheres. No matter how well-protected you think you are from the inevitable, the fear of death scares most people, especially in settings that forebode evil. Edgar Allen Poe's gothic horror story, “The Masque
Within each of us lurks a beast waiting for the first opportunity to bare its ugly fangs. A vestige of ages past, when violence and destruction was man’s only language, the beast only needs a bit of chaos to resurface. William Golding’s novel, Lord of the Flies, is hinged on this idea. In the story, a group of English schoolboys are stranded on an island without a single adult. They try initially to keep a rough semblance of civilization in place, calling assemblies and lighting signal fires, but
half had been revealed. Throughout the novel, Victor struggles to admit that Frankenstein is his responsibility and instead lets his family members and friends die, one by one. I think that Shelley, the author, is trying to teach the reader that evil lurks within every human soul, and it is more important to face it rather than fear it. Had Victor faced the monster, his evil half, he would have not only created peace for himself but also for the monster, but instead he ran from it, thinking evil is better
their daily activities. The poem is short, but tells a vivid story about the pool players. The poem “We Real Cool” is the story of young kids, possibly teens, who are rebellious, uneducated, and arrogant. It states: “We real cool. We left school. We lurk late. We strike straight. We sing sin. We thin gin. We jazz June. We die soon.” (l.1-8) The poem talks about the pool players and their lives. It seems as though the pool players are school aged because the poet says, “We left school.” (l.1-2) This
Poetry has been around for thousands of years throughout human history and has been used as a tool for telling stories from one generation to another. These short passages can describe love, cleverness, hate or war; one can find beauty in them and interpret them in their own personal way. Poetry as the Miriam Webster dictionary describes it “is writing that formulates a concentrated imaginative awareness of experience in language chosen and arranged to create a specific emotional response through
Gwendolyn Brooks and Sonia Sanchez, in their poems “We Real Cool” and “Summer Words of a Sistuh Addict”, are both alike in their idea of dealing with troubled youth. Brooks discusses in her poem “We Real Cool” rebellious pool-playing youth that “sing sin” (Line 5) and “thin gin.” (Line 6) The whole poem centers around disturbed youth. The narrator in Sonia Sanchez’s poem “Summer Words of a Sistuh Addict”, is also a disturbed young woman who is addicted to heroin, and seems to live a rather rebellious

The excitement of the teacher is undermined when "the complexities of simple interest lurk in inkwells" hinting that as "lurk" is hidden and gloomy it hints to the threat at the end of the poem. The way the lesson is expressed by the teacher is implied when it mentions "the brittle sticks of chalk" illuminating that as "chalk" is symbol of how ideas are
Transgression is any violation of the law, principle or duty. It is exceeding boundaries and limits as well as sinning. These different acts can affect people in many different ways; they may be detrimental to relationships, families, and friends. ‘'The Storm'' by Kate Chopin, ‘A Good Man is Hard to Find ‘' and "We Real Cool'' are similar in that transgression impacts the characters in theses stories/poems in different negative ways and serve a different purpose.

It happens more often than not- waking in the middle of the night. As I become conscious of my surroundings, I am filled with a sense of foreboding. The soft hisses and puffs escaping my loved ones lips while deep in the throes of sleep provide the only distraction from the all-encompassing silence. As I strain to hear the sounds of life surrounding me the ominous sensation of being alone, abandoned, is ignited within me. It feels as if my loved one have left and gone to somewhere that I am no longer
Adam by eating the apple. Eve’s desire to separate herself from Adam can be seen when she suggests they work apart. Adam immediately rejects the idea, he states that ‘the wife where danger or dishonour lurks safest and seemliest by her husband stays who guards her’ (Milton 9.267-269). The use of ‘lurks’ implies hidden dangers that only Adam can be aware of; Eve is vulnerable without him. This statement by Adam is detached, he refers to Eve as ‘the wife’ this creates a disapproving tone and portrays
There is alliteration in the poem like “Lurk late,” “Strike straight,” “Sing sin,” “Jazz June,” and “Thin gin.” Alliteration makes the poem language memorable and musical. Beside this alliteration, there are also many rhymes that can be seen in this poem such as cool/school, sin/gin, the repetitive
Gwendolyn Brooks’, “We Real Cool”, is a poem about seven pool players that are assumed to be friends. The poem talks about how the players are doing things, while they are living; such as, skipping school and staying out late, which also signifies that the players are still in their youth. There is a bond of loyalty within the players because there is a repetition of “We”, which signifies unity of a group of people, used throughout the poem. Brooks’ attitude towards the players is very encouraging
At one point, some of the younger children bring up a terrifying “beast” that lurks around the island. Ultimately, Ralph calls a meeting and the older children discuss what shall be done about the beast. While most conclude the beast to simply be a thing from nightmares, one child, Simon, believes that it is actually an innate darkness that lurks within every person. However, due to still being a child, he “became inarticulate in his effort to express mankind’s
of each line, reinforces group identity. The group is the pool players and the identity is that they want to be defined by their rebellious acts. These rebellious acts are described in the following alliterations: “Lurk late” (line 3), “Sing sin” (line 5), and “Jazz June” (line 7). “Lurk late” (line 3) means they say out late because they don't have a job or school to wake up early for. “Sing sin” (line 5) refers to them flaunting their cool but sinful lives to the world. “Jazz” (line 7) alludes to
