Throughout the book Lord of the Flies, Jack goes through several transformations. He starts out as the leader of his choir; someone who is seen as an orderly leader seeking precision in everything he does. This is shown when Jack yells, “Choir! Stand still!” (Golding 19). Although he is shown as orderly in the beginning, he soon gives us hints about his more aggressive and harsh side. He starts by pointing out Piggy, saying, “Shut up, Fatty.” (Golding 21). Towards the end of the book, he has turned

William Golding’s Lord of the Flies and Lauren Slater’s Opening Skinner’s Box both take a look at human perpetuation towards evil. Slater argues that humans may commit evil deeds when obeying authority, by observing Stanley Milgram’s experiment in her second chapter, “Obscura”.

I think both Slater and Golding would argue that it is easy to find evil, when

Have you ever imaged what a big group of boys would do if they were left on an island with no grownups?

Despite this there is a belief that the House of Lords scrutinise pubic bills more effectively than that of the House of Commons. The House of Lords spend a much larger proportion of their time scrutinising bills, over the last four sessions an average of just under 53% , whereas in the House of Commons between the 2010 and 2012 sessions less than 30% of their time was spent on it and so the issue of dependency being placed upon the House of Lords is a certainly a debated one. The majority of bills

The “masked” character Jack from Lord of the Flies is easily shown to have two different sides. Jack has a whole new personality once the face paint covers the real him. When Jack lands on the island he is already attempting to take control over the choir and has everyone believe he is the leader of them. His personality becomes more aggressive when he first goes to hunt. He sees a pig trapped in a bush and is afraid to kill it. He hesitates during this and lets the pig run away freely. Since that
