One major theme in Lord of the Flies that society falls apart when people do not follow its rules.
Choose Ralph or Simon to write about in your response. Use evidence from the novel to explain how the character's actions developed this theme.
Then, explain why this is a universal theme, and give examples across different cultures that support your explanation
Answer:
The overarching theme of Lord of the Flies is the conflict between the human impulse towards savagery and the rules of civilization which are designed to contain and minimize it. Throughout the novel, the conflict is dramatized by the clash between Ralph and Jack, who respectively represent civilization and savagery. The differing ideologies are expressed by each boy's distinct attitudes towards authority. While Ralph uses his authority to establish rules, protect the good of the group, and enforce the moral and ethical codes of the English society the boys were raised in, Jack is interested in gaining power over the other boys to gratify his most primal impulses. When Jack assumes leadership of his own tribe, he demands the complete subservience of the other boys, who not only serve him but worship him as an idol. Jack's hunger for power suggests that savagery does not resemble anarchy so much as a totalitarian system of exploitation and illicit power.
Golding's emphasis on the negative consequences of savagery can be read as a clear endorsement of civilization. In the early chapters of the novel, he suggests that one of the important functions of civilized society is to provide an outlet for the savage impulses that reside inside each individual. Jack's initial desire to kill pigs to demonstrate his bravery, for example, is channeled into the hunt, which provides needed food for the entire group. As long as he lives within the rules of civilization, Jack is not a threat to the other boys; his impulses are being re-directed into a productive task. Rather, it is when Jack refuses to recognize the validity of society and rejects Ralph's authority that the dangerous aspects of his character truly emerge. Golding suggests that while savagery is perhaps an inescapable fact of human existence, civilization can mitigate its full expression.
Simon is the symbol of a "religious leader" in the group of boys. He is kind and helpful to others and a caring leader for the younger children. He is a visionary who does not follow the crowd but seeks to understand knowledge for its own sake.
Simon does not follow the rules set by the group; he is not a follower. Simon has a hidden spot somewhere on the island to meditate, Simon gathers the best foods and gives them to the smallest children instead of caring only for himself, Simon alone seeks "the beast" in order to understand his own fears and face them, and to help the others acknowledge and conquer their fears.It is this which causes his death.Without Simon's "rule-breaking", many of the children will suffer as there is nobody now to help them survive. They are taken closer to the road of being uncivilized.The idea of a religious visionary is a universal theme in religions. For example, you could refer to Jesus Christ, the Buddha, Mohammed, etceteras. These are leaders who taught followers to seek the truth within themselves and then share it with others.

book review of a wrinkle in time
My friend told me this was one of her favorite books when she was a child. I wasn't a big reader as a kid, and am playing catch-up. I was surprised this was a kid's book! It has some heady thoughts on God, free choice, and love.I would think the subject matter would be over some kid's heads. Then I read a quote from Madeline L'Engle: "You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children." Touché! It was a page-turner and I finished it in a day. The darkness is scary. My son (10) said he didn't want to see the movie thinking it would be too dark for him (perceptive kid). I plan to read this book with him if he allows it because the characters are so well-written.

Choose the correct tense and circle it. Notice which action is first. When my aunt arrived/had arrived home after her holidays, she found/had found that there was/were no lights in the house. After she called/had called a friend for help, she saw/had seen that there was some water next to the fridge. My aunt quickly left/had left the flat and spent/had spent the night in a hotel. The next day everything was ok so she could go back home. The police told/had told her not to touch anything before the investigators arrived/had arrived. Fortunately, she had/had had a home insurance.
Answer:
When my aunt had arrived home after her holidays, she found that there were no lights in the house.After she had called a friend for help, she saw that there was some water next to the fridge.My aunt quickly left the flat and spent the night in a hotel.The police told her not to touch anything before the investigators arrived.Fortunately, she had a home insurance.Explanation:
Tense is described as the time. In grammar, the different forms of the verb help in denoting the time at which the action takes place. It can be past, present, or future.
The first sentence involves the past perfect tense and therefore, the action that took place first would be written using 'had + V3'(had arrived') and latter action using 'V2'(found'). 'were' in the latter part as the noun 'lights' is the plural.
The next sentence is also written in past perfect and therefore, the first action can be written using 'had + V3'(had called) and the latter action in past indefinite(saw).
The next sentence can be filled using the past indefinite as it is joined using the coordinating conjunction 'and' and therefore, both the actions would be written in the same form i.e. 'V2'(left' and 'spent').
The next sentence expresses the reported speech and thus, it would be written using past indefinite in the first part('told') and 'arrives'(in the direct speech) would be converted into 'arrived'(in indirect).
The last sentence would use past indefinite(had) instead of past perfect(had had) because there is only one action.

My daily routine—the things I do every day—consist of studying, exercising, and working. What is the best way to rewrite the sentence to avoid repetition?
Answer:
My daily routine consists of studying, exercising, and working.
Explanation:
To avoid repetition, take out the phrase "the things I do every day." A daily routine implies that you do it daily or every day so you don't need the phrase.
Hope that helps.
My daily routine consists of studying, exercising, and working.
Why is it considered as a repetition?
Here, 'daily routine' means the same as 'the things I do everyday'. Therefore, the above sentence was made according to avoid repetition but maintain the original meaning and purpose of the sentence.What is Sentence paraphrasing?
Paraphrasing is rewording text so that the original meaning is there but it is in a new form. Rewriting a sentence, or a whole passage, in your own words is paraphrasing.For further information on sentence paraphrasing:
