Lord Of The Flies Found Poem

The Conch

The Conch

Ever So Expensive

Pounds And Pounds And Pounds

He laid the conch against his lips

Took a deep breath

Blew once more

The conch was silent

A Gleaming Tusk

Full of bird-clamor and echoes ringing

Ralph took the conch from his hands

He waved the conch

“Let Him have the conch”

“I got the conch”

“I got a a right to speak”

He lifted the conch in an effort to find the compelling word

Conch Conch!

“We don’t need the conch any more”

The conch is gone

The Wars Reflection #6 The Story In A NutShell (So Far)

Vast setting of world war I engages the whole story in a state of suspense, drama and procrastination. So far, the story has been pretty interesting and appealing to audiences like me. The story presents an innocent young man, Robert Ross, who changed from not being able to kill a man into massive war hero. After Ross's enlistment in the Canadian Army led him to become more intense as the plot unfolds. In Robert's first training, he met a veteran known as Eugene Taffler who encourage him to take down a man.

The Wars Reflection #5: The Audacity of War.

Guns guide the way as soldiers fight across oceans of dead corpses. Bullets bounce across the dark sky and soldiers camp day by day by the sickening trenches. What is the point of life if you ask if any of them. The answer will be pride, the pride to stand up for your country because they know that things will get better for their future generations. You may guessed it. It's the risk one must obey for war. One thing for sure about all wars though is that its true inner nature never changed throughout the history of man-kind. From the earliest form of sticks and stones battles to the biological warfares we have nowadays, this devastating human behaviour shows arguably a side of disgrace in humanity. Some may call it revolutionary but others may see it was a way of justice, or just a way to relief psychotic rage. 

The Wars Reflection # 4: Symbolism.. Symbolism.. Another Symbolism?!

Timothy Fiddley's The Wars has been rather an unique piece of literature as I dig my way deeper and deeper into the Climax. One thing though that I have to talk about is the author specializes, or even deeper mastered in the usage of symbolism throughout the story. If you don't get the severity of my words, here's a perfect example in which you may or may not have known, The book, "The Wars" identifies symbolism engaging in the nature of "all wars" when technically speaking its only "WWI".  Anyways, that is not the only thing I learnt reading this book, another unique thing is that Fiddley is most certainly an animal lover. Animal symbolism paints the storyline. 

For Example...

1. Birds symbolizes the upcoming danger Ross faces as his war effort goes on. 

- Every time Ross sees birds, an attack follows.

2. Rabbits symbolizes the guilt Robert bears for his sister's death.

-  Her sister loved playing with Rabbits.

3. Coyotes symbolizes the relationship of mammals being two different species, Robert and the Coyote.

-  The coyote went with Robert as he ran.

The Wars Reflection #3 : Why feel guilty for death?

So far I have read further into the story, but one inquiry question lit the whole time. That is whether one should bear the guilt for another death's because he/she couldn't prevent it from happening. In the story, Robert Ross held grudge against himself because he wasn't able to rescue her sister and led to her tragic death. More in depth, Ross was in his room being lazy and cuddling his pillows while her sister fell off a wheelchair and died. I personally feel that one shouldn't evade all the blame due to not being able to save another life, especially in a scenario where Ross cannot see into the future and does not know that her sister will be deceased. For analogy, society often question different things with "If only I was there..." or " It wouldn't never have happened if only...", but if you look in the bigger picture, there is one million different things you could blame on.

1. she still be alive if only......  Her brother was there for her.

2. she still be alive if only......  Her dad was still alive and helped her.

3. she still be alive if only......  Countries were peaceful and there was no such thing as WWI.

4. she still be alive if only......  Pillows were never invented.

5. she still be alive if only......  John Cabot had never discovered Canada.

All in all, my point is guilt is inevitable and we shouldn't always carry the whole death situation on ourselves. Instead, live in the present and move on with the past situations. 

The Wars Reflection #2

The novel of "The Wars" by Timothey Fidley has been quite an adventure so far. One thing particular is the the style of introduction this authors sets for the audience. Fidley utilizes story telling in a way of flashback between past and the present which sets lots of suspense throughout the reading. However, sometimes confusion can be risen up as the setting is always dynamic throughout the story. To start off, the prologue was a definite shocker. The story puts you immediately into almost a war like environment along with Robert Ross who appears to be running away. I really enjoyed getting an action going on to start off any book and this one does just that. All in all, it may not be on my favorite top introduction at all times, but it definitely captured my interest. Time to read, Peace.

"Reflection on The Wars By Lorraine M. York."

My group has chosen the Canadian literature, "The Wars"  by Lorraine M York.  Fom the title of the book, it sounds very promising to me as I am big fan of World Wars and history. Judging from the cover of the book, it presents a guy walking on what seems like a deserted land. That gave me a visual setting of a loneliness and war zone. I hope to learn more about the war, survival skills and further my literature skills through this novel. The question I have in mind is " who the person walking" on the front cover
