His greed invoked his power, and his power invoked his extended greed. IV. AUTHOR I believe that the author's writing style was fairly appropriate for this story. The biased focus on Ralph could have been eliminated to further prove the authors point that their actions are no different then that of people at war.

PERSONAL OPINIONS Personally, I enjoyed the overall story. The way Ralph and Jack's survival techniques were incredible. I admired the way that Ralph was calm, cool and collected, and Jack had good leadership. The ...
