0 likes•133 views
The document discusses William Golding's novel Lord of the Flies and questions whether it could be considered sexist or racist for only including white British boys on the island. It notes that women make up half the population and their exclusion leaves out an entire gender from representing all of humanity. Several scenes from the book are described that portray the boys as coming from a boarding school and engaging in violence, like the rape of a sow. The response argues that boys are more prone to violence historically and in the novel, and that portraying British boys as nice was a compliment, while acknowledging it is easier for the male author to only represent males.

Legendary female warriors like Tomoe Gozen fought bravely in battles during the Genpei War. Throughout Japan's history, women demonstrated remarkable bravery, loyalty, and honor through their service and should be acknowledged for the part they played.

My father taught me how to fish during a trip to a family cabin in Minnesota. We took a boat out onto Cutaway Lake where my father pointed out fish beds under the water and the shadows of fish swimming around our boat. He showed me how to properly attach a worm to the hook and taught me the technique for casting. Within a minute of casting my line, I got my first bite. With my father's guidance, I was able to reel in my first catch, a bluegill fish. Though from different times, this memory of fishing with my father allowed me to connect with him through a skill he learned from his own father.

This document provides an analysis of the novel "Feed" by M.T. Anderson.

Pre College English Final
The poem explores the themes of love and loss. It describes watching a past love walk away and being "empty-handed" with "holes" in their pockets, feeling the "pricking" of being alone. There is imagery of "vomiting bliss" and a "watered-down version of a patched-up something that was, but cannot be anymore." The poem expresses how some are unable to truly love again after a prior love, and how picking up the pieces is difficult. Love is portrayed as a game to some who tire of others' abuse.
The Beauty Behind Cyrano
The document discusses Cyrano de Bergerac and how it illustrates Platonic and Kantian views of love. In the play, Roxane is initially attracted to Christian due to his handsome appearance (Platonic love based on physical beauty). However, she grows to love Cyrano for his wit and poetry (Kantian love based on inner qualities). The document argues that Kantian love ultimately conquers in the play. It also discusses de Botton's views on Platonic versus Kantian love from his book The Beauty, using examples from the narrator's own experiences to support the idea that Kantian love is more meaningful.
