Ofur The Savage: A Short Story
Ofur The Savage

Days just after Mako claimed his reward he went to the new land. Just then he hear a nearby bush start rustling. Something furry jumped out and Mako spotted a furry spot. He asked his mom “What do you think that is?” “Good question” his mom replied. Mako walked up to to the furry spot and was about to touch it. The furry spot jumped up at him and licked him in the face. Mako’s mom came over and gave the thing something to eat. Mako realized it was a dog. How I would love to have another dog, Mako thought to himself. “I’m going to call you Ofur,” Mako said to the dog. Ofur jumped up and all of the sudden Tupa’s ghost surrounded Ofur---and Ofur disappeared---into the ocean with a loud splash. “Ofur where did you go,” Mako

    An Athabasca Story By Warren Cariou

    “An Athabasca Story,” by Warren Cariou, uses allegory to describe how Indigenous communities have been drawn into the natural resources industry. Cariou begins by describing Elder Brother’s hunger and loneliness. As the story states, “[h]is stomach was like the shrunken dried crop of a partridge,” (Cariou 1). He is starved, cold, alone, and unable to find his way. This seems to represent how, through colonialism, Indigenous communities have been under resourced and isolated from one another.…

    Savagery Lord Of The Flies Analysis

    From all of the facts and reasons presented throughout the book and in this essay it is obvious that Jack’s descension into savagery is indeed true. The fact that children are savages by nature cannot be denied since it has been proved thoroughly and explicitly throughout this novel. Golding also asserts that actually savagery is innate within each and every one of us, and that it is more primal than our instinct towards the civilized way of life. Having this been said, it can also be said that Jack’s development into a savage can be attributed to his loss of civilization. From what can be taken from this novel, it seems that Golding tries to illustrate and convey that moral behavior is something that society tends to train children to believe…

    Savagery In Lord Of The Flies Analysis

    A well-known American author, Mark Twain, once said; “Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.” This proves that one’s human nature has a seed, growing inside, consisting of both good and evil. In the novel Lord of the Flies, written by William Golding, as the novel progresses, the nature of hunting changes. This persuades the boys to abandon the values of civilization, leading them to self-indulge themselves with savagery. At first, the main purpose of hunting is for meat. It is evident that the innocence within Jack and the hunters is present when they have a hard time adjusting to their new lifestyle. This can be seen when they fail to follow through with the killing of the piglet. As the novel advances, innocence begins to fade and savagery comes to light. Now that hunting is no longer being utilized for survival, Jack and the hunters exhilaration and enjoyment to kill shows when they murder the sow. The hunters excitement explains how…

    Lord Of The Flies: Savagery

    The novel of Lord of the Flies uses the regression of main characters to show savagery and primitive human nature. “This perhaps can be best seen in the development of Jack. During the first trip into the jungle, he is unable to kill the pig with his knife, “[Jack] raised his arm in the air. There came a pause, a hiatus… The pause was only long enough for them to understand what enormity the downward stroke would be” (23); by the end of the book he is hunting human quarry” (Overview of Lord of the Flies). Jack understood what it meant to end this life; however, subsequently failing to take it, he becomes obsessed with the thought of killing. He is so violent and so obsessed that he manages to regresses to a point of actual, first completely…

    Adversity: of Mice and Men and Ancient Roman Poet

    During hard times and challenges in a lifetime, one may discover hidden talents or skills that were once invisible to their eyes. From the ancient Roman poet, Horace, he states “Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant.” Many famous scientists, movie stars, singers, etc. grew up from poor environments, having no education, clothing, food, and/or shelter. They came from a poor background which has only motivated and encouraged these determined individuals. Although it may appear to most people that those who experience misfortune not necessarily realize or find their concealed capability, it is emerged as true that many do find their unknown gift through adversity, whether if it is through their own hard work and determination or just pure luck.…

    Stereotypes in Poems Using Hidden Metaphors

    Metaphors are present in our everyday language. They are a cornerstone of communication in everyday language. They exist in all cultures whether to creatively describe an event, teach a lesson or exaggerate the importance of an experience. Metaphors can have hidden meanings while others offer vivid images and eloquent phrases to convey their point. Some metaphors are called sleeping metaphors because the reader takes the meaning for granted. As Emily Martin demonstrated in her article the Sperm and the Egg, she revealed how gender stereotypes are hidden within the scientific language and other so called objective writings. The following examples are given in order to support her findings in other forms of literature such as children’s poems.…

    Examples Of Savagery In Lord Of The Flies

    When we first open our eyes to this vast world, we are simultaneously introduced to a civilized society. We are taught in school to do the right things and avoid wrong behavior: respect and consideration is crucial, harassment and bullying is unacceptable. But, what if we are placed on a deserted island, where there are no pre-established rules or norms for us to follow and stick to? Does our human nature reveal itself then? Do we start to believe in survival of the fittest, thus lose all sense of reason and pity? Do we forget all the rules of society civilization? In Lord of the Flies by William Golding, a group of boys are forced to learn to live harmoniously after a plane crash, which lands them in a foreign…

    Dogs Death

    This literary piece captured my attention because I felt as though I could very easily identify with the work. Updike was able to carry me through the journey of the dog’s life and how if impacted in the lives of his family. When I first began reading it I felt the sadness of the loss of the animal, but as I went on, I felt as though the family had found peace with the passing of the pet. I believe that the overall tone with this piece of literature is love and acceptance. Even though they suffered a loss, they were able to remember the better times and celebrate the dog’s life, always remembering that their dog was a good dog.…
