A plane carrying a group of young schoolboys flying from Britain to escape war is shot down. The plane crashes on a desert island, stranding the boys there with no hope of rescue. Together, the boys explore the island, elect a leader, and devise strategies in the hopes of attracting any nearby ships or planes so that they may be rescued. At first, the boys enjoy their time on the island, free of the grown-ups who usually run their lives. However, because of this, they also begin to neglect the day-to-day necessities, such as looking for food or maintaining the signal fire. As a result, the group they've built begins to deteriorate, and an older, more savage boy takes over the group. A fear develops that there is a monster living in the jungle.

As order gives way to chaos, the older boys mistakenly murder a younger boy, set a fire within the jungle, and lead a manhunt for one of the boys. In the end, a British naval ship lands on the island to rescue the boys. Upon seeing an officer and learning that he is safe, the main character despairs in the idea that he will never be the same:

"Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart, and the fall through the air of a true, wise friend called Piggy."

the answer to this question is c.

ismene wants to follow the rules, unlike antigone who'd rather break them for her brother.

as we know, the english language is spoken all over the world by native and non-native speakers and has become the most certain tool when it comes to communicating. businesses, schools, even romantic relationships depend on it to keep thriving. in addition, it is the language of the internet not only because most of the content available is in english, but also because people prefer to use it when talking to others, since it's the language everyone supposedly learns.

yet, there have been some current claims that chinese will soon take over as the most important language in the world. china's magnitude has never been more evident and doing business with the chinese is a gold mine for any country. we now see language schools offering chinese courses as commonly as english.

however - even though we cannot deny china's importance and the advantage it is when someone takes the time to learn the language their business contact speaks-, people in general seem to be ignoring the aspects that seem to keep english as the chosen one of languages. one of them has been mentioned above: it is the language of the internet. also, chinese people are still learning english, since it opens doors in communicating with practically everyone else, from every single country.

note: if this is not the sort of transition you need, let me know. : d

the chosen symbology is the 'sweet secret' which anna confesses on january 6th.

anne's thoughts on her mother are further indication of her growing maturity and of her feelings of isolation from her mother.

the homoeroticism of this passage led it to be excluded from early editions of the journal. this passage shows anne's simultaneous innocense about and fascination with sex. she's clearly aware and unafraid of being sexual, but at the same time is seemingly unaware that her homosexual feelings could be considered taboo back then.

hope this !
