Lord Of The Flies Themes
Words: 1872 - Pages: 7.... Another theme was the struggle for control of the island but this would happen with any group of people (ie: one person wants to be in control and do anything to get it). At the start Jack was embarrased when he was not made chief, and probably resented the fact that Ralph, who was smaller than him, had control of the group but Jack still had a small part of authority over the choir and most of the children that were smaller than him.

Swift's "A Modest Proposal"
Words: 1539 - Pages: 6.... of the voices that is present throughout the story is that of irony.

This irony is clearly demonstrated at the end of the story; Swift makes it
clear that this proposal would not affect him since his children were grown
and his wife unable to have any more children. It would be rather absurd to
think that a rational man would want to both propose this and partake in
the eating of another human being. Therefore, before an analyzation can

The Writings Of Plato And Dantes
Words: 2056 - Pages: 8.... we could learn the hidden teachings of
great writers and philosophers.

waiting to be filled. More than once, the author has wished he could go
back a few pages and rewrite it differently, but alas, the book has already
been p .....
