The whole plot of the book is based upon the boys being stranded ... rescued, he is only concerned with taking control away from Ralph. Piggy is the odd one of the boys. He is teased by everyone even though his intelligence is greater than theirs. He becomes Ralphs only friend at the end. Roger is the last important character and he is the one who supported the killing that Ralph tried to stop. Lord of the Flies is full of symbolism. For example; Jack represents the primitive nature in man and Ralph represents civilization. Also, Piggys glasses represent the civilization that they are losing. When Piggys glasses are taken it seems like the end of whatever civilization they had left. Also the sows head that is speaks to Simon ...
- 19302: Symbolism In The Scarlet Lette
- ... Scarlet Letter is a book of much symbolism. One of the most complex and misunderstood symbols in the book is Pearl, the daughter of Hester Prynne. Pearl symbolizes a real and constant reminder of Hester s sins, she is much more prominent and evident than the A that Hester wore, for she is a real living breathing person who will always remain a part Hester. Hawthorne places Pearl in the novel to explore the theme of Romanticism, to create a character who is passionate and true, one who questions the behavior and values of Hester and Dimmesdale. Pearl s behavior towards her mother varied at different times. She would often constantly nag her mother and became infatuated with the scarlet "A" which her mother wore. She is anything but a normal Puritan child, and ... way off. Stand you here, and let me run and catch it. I am but a child. It will not flee from me, for I wear nothing on my bosom yet (192).

- 19304: Death Marches
- ... and Austria. Some of the more notable death marches included the mass march from the Warsaw Ghetto to the extermination camp at Auschwitz and the numerous marches that occurred following ghettoization related in Elie Wiesel's Night. Though much of the modern world may find it difficult, if not impossible, to accept that notion that humankind can act with such disdain for human life, the objectification of the Jews as a component of the Nazi regime defined the acceptability of the death marches and the systematic extermination of innumerable populations of Jews. One of the keys to the relative successes of Hitler's extermination plans was that few people escaped the horrors at the end of the death march, and so there were only a handful of people who were able to actually substantiate claims of mass extermination ... death marches to transport Jews from regions of Europe like Hungary to the more centralized extermination camps in Poland (Smith 22). Over 500,000 Hungarian Jews, for example, were exterminated in the midst of Hitler's plan, many of whom were transported to the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camps for extermination (Smith 22). The German occupation of much of Europe caused considerable changes for the Jewish communities, especially in countries like ...

In articles written anonymously or under the pseudonym Aristides, in the Herald and other newspapers, he attempted to arouse Northerners from their apathy on the question of slavery in the U.S. In 1829 Garrison entered into partnership with the American antislavery agitator Benjamin Lundy to publish a monthly periodical, The Genius of Universal Emancipation, in Baltimore, Maryland. Lundy believed in gradual emancipation, and Garrison at first shared his views; but he soon became convinced that immediate and complete emancipation was necessary. Because Baltimore was then a center of the domestic slave trade in the U.S., Garrison's eloquent denunciations of the trade aroused great animosity.
