The American Revolution Allegory…Sequel!

Yes, I’m sure you remember the 13 children from the original story but we’re now in the future and these kids are all grown up! They knew it would be extremely hectic if they had more than one child with their spouse so they all had just one. 13 only child’s with 12 other cousins. Pretty smart if you think about it. Anyway, these cousins all grew up with each other. No doubt about it they knew everything about the other. Before the parents knew it those kids were growing up, and fast! They all wanted more freedom! They wanted cell phones, later curfews, and more allowance money. They grew attitudes too. The parents knew they had no choice but to do to their

They eased up on the decisions they made though. The children definitely did not see it coming. Instead of getting cell phones, later curfews, and more allowance money they got no cell phone, an earlier curfew, and no more allowance money. They were all together shipped to an island with a private school where they were the only students. There was another school on the other side of the island where they were absolutely not allowed to go anywhere near. They thought they would survive and started scheming by finding some goods on the island and found a way to sell it to the kids on the other school. They were caught soon enough and now the parents decided to not pay for the children’s school books and make them work for it. The children loathed their parents and decided to rebel some more. This time, the parents were much stricter! Now all children had amped up security and they were monitored 24/7 and they had security in their bedroom’s and they had to tend to them. Feed them, house them, tend to them, and so on. One of the security guards started to grow an ego and was expecting more from the children. He started lounging around the rooms and ignoring all the other guards and when one of the children …show more content…
The other’s immediately tended to him while one of the other kids ran up to the guard from behind and hit his head with a baseball bat and hit it, as if it were a baseball, at the wall. Of course, one of the guards didn’t appreciate that so he slapped him and from there things grew out of control! Until one of maids was walking by and stopped the fight, things were getting ugly and fast. The guards were immediately removed from the island but the children only had more hatred for their parents so they decided to grab all of their school books that their parents made them buy on their own and threw it into the ocean. Their parents were furious! They decided that they would no longer have any contact with the outside world and they would have to work double time to pay off all the books they threw into the water. They realized that things are gonna get more and more violent and they would have to deal with this problem in a civil manner. So they all gathered together to think of a way to get back home but one of the children wouldn’t deal with it at all in any civil manner. He convinced the others to come with him to

    The island caused the darkness to arise out of everyone. Plus, the lack of proper authority figures, as in adults, caused much fighting over the theoretical position of complete control over regulations. I would argue that even though the situation was dire, the fact that this unique set of children were the ones stranded on the island, was the cause of these certain events to occur. If there had been older children and no, as the book calls them, littluns, then the events would have unfolded much differently, even though it took place on the same island.…

    It was described by the main character, Ralph, that the plane had been shot down by a fighter-jet that had mistaken their plane for one of the enemies they were at war with (8). The boys quickly realized that there seemed to be no adults on the island with them and began taking advantage of this. As a group they decided that is a necessity that they build a camp, collect plenty of food and water, and collect firewood to help them maximize their chances of survival. As a result, the boys came to a decision of creating a government. In this government, there was a chief…

    Their ability to easily be compelled by higher authorities back-fired on them, which in turn, made them participate in atrocious acts toward many of their own friends. In addition, their little knowledge on what to do during times of crisis held them back from doing the right things. In conclusion, the boys’ savage and immoral behavior can be blamed on the situation/environment, because of the profusion of tarnished leaders with immoral intentions and their lack of overall survival…

    Nevertheless, towards the end of the allegory Delia climbs the Chinaberry tree for shelter because of the snake that Sykes left loose around their house. He did it with the intention of scaring or possibly to kill his wife. Delia stated “Sykes, Ah wants you yuh take dat snake away fum heah, you down starve me” (1037). It was also said that after Delia heard Sykes scream and knew that he was dead that “she could sacredly reach the Chinaberry tree where she waited in the growing heat while inside she knew the cold river was creeping up and up to extinish the eye” (1040). Delia is basically getting a sign of relief since Sykes is now gone. But she stays on the Chinaberry tree. This tree has significant meaning to slavery. It was toxic herbal…

    One of the reasons that the boys were punished was too to protect society. Personally I think that protection was an important reason to punish the boys, because they were clearly unstable, meaning that it was highly possible they could do a similar crime again. I think that…

    At the beginning of the allegory, the “theory of forms” is also introduced. This theory states that the “existence of a level of reality inhabited by ideal “forms” of all things and concepts”(Plato pg1) indicating that there is a form to any object, Adding as well that all forms will be eternal and unchanging but they tend to inhabit changeable matter in the temporal world. Plato considers the realm of forms to be always eternal and unchanging however; the world we inhabit is a constantly changing, and thus not real because nothing last forever. Similar to the allegory, our perception of this world could also be like the shadows projected by the fire, although they are constantly changing, they all come from a particular object. Therefore,…

    The animalistic, selfish and inherently evil nature of human beings is illustrated and referenced through allegory, an act of interpretation to further demonstrate concepts of the human condition. In William Golding’s novel The Lord of the Flies, the characters and setting are read as an allegory linking directly to religious figures and biblical stories, including those of Cain and Abel, Adam and Eve and of Jesus Christ, to unveil the harsh truths about the boys’ inherent savagery and the inevitable deterioration of order and civilisation it ensues.…

    The characters made a poor decision in not helping each other out. For instance, Ralph and Jack are also getting into arguments (Golding 91). One of their arguments leads into breaking the groups apart. Jack said “ I gave you food and my hunters will protect you from the beast. Who will join my tribe,” (Golding 150). Jack want the power all the way. He hated how someone else was the leader. They should have been more worried about the little kids than getting into arguments. Another, bad decision that made was picking Ralph for chief. Ralph continued “I’m chief then,” (Golding 23). Ralph was not that bad of lead, but they should not of picking him because they did not know him. Also, Ralph doesn’t know the island because they are stuck on this island. The lead should have been picked by strength and qualities not by how they look or know them. The kid's mess around and some took it too far like when Piggy died. Roger throws threw a rock and it hit Piggy right in the stomach (Golding 181). Piggy died because of Ralph and Jack fighting. In the book, it said Jack hit Ralph (Golding 179). The boys should have been thinking about what was going to when they were fighting. When people fight you never know when someone can get hurt. These two boys kept fighting because they both wanted to be chief of the island. People are in death or live situation that they need to work out together because at any point it in cost…

    A quote by Edward R. Murrow states, “No one man can terrorize a whole nation unless we are all his accomplices.” During the Red Scare, Senator McCarthy did terrorize a whole nation, and Arthur Miller became a victim of McCarthyism. Miller suffered through accusations of possibly believing in communism; as a result, he wrote a play called The Crucible, in which he used the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 to explain the communist hysteria during the 1950s. Arthur Miller develops an allegory in The Crucible by comparing the Salem Witch Trials to McCarthyism by using ringleaders, persecuted couples, and hypocrisy in the government or legal system.…

    For my final holocaust project I decided to do an allegory. My allegory is based on the idea that during the holocaust people didn’t stand up for the Jewish people and others that were being discriminated against. Because of their bystander qualities Hitler became stronger and stronger. When all we had to do was stand together at the first sign of evil and face him head on.…

    Alice in wonderland is an adventurous book full of mystery, conflicts, and surprisingly allegory. Alice goes through trails, revelations, and at one point even gets accused of “being the wrong Alice.” In this story, Alice believes that she is dreaming and having a weird one at that, but in reality she is not really dreaming. Alice is really trying to find herself and with that she is portraying the conflicts in her life through the world of wonderland. To me wonderland is just a dimension of realization and a way for Alice to find the answers to the questions that she needs. But will Alice realize this in time or will she go on through her “dream” without any realization at all? In Alice in wonderland there are many cases of allegory. The cases the i will be pointing out and defining in my own words are “The Rabbit Hole”, “Size and Growth”, and “The Looking - Glass.” In this essay i will explain my theories and definitions of the allegory in Alice in Wonderland.…
