We’ve got to have rules and obey them. After all we’re not savages :: English Literature

We’ve got to have rules and obey them. After all we’re not savages When the boys first step on the island they are very civilised; they are all wearing clothes and walking around in groups exploring. Ralph and Piggy then find a conch, and use it to contact the other boys on the island. This moment establishes that the conch symbolises law on the island. Every time the conch is blown all the children come for an assembly. When the first assembly is held, Ralph is voted in as chief, instead of Jack. This frustrates Jack but Ralph consoles him and says that he and his choir can be hunters, and Jack jumps at this opportunity. I think this is the first indication of savagery as everyone is very nervous and afraid, but as soon as Ralph mentions hunting to the choir they are all quite excited. The savagery emerges with â€Å"hunting† as â€Å"hunting† presents the image of killing. We see the boy’s developing excitement of ideas of savagery with this passage, â€Å"Jack and Ralph smiled at each other with shy liking. The rest began to talk eagerly.† When Ralph, Jack, and Simon climb up the mountain to see across the island, they come across a pig trapped in some vines when Jack draws his knife and can’t bring himself to kill the pig, it is because he is too civilised at this point in the book; "The pause was only long enough for them to understand what an enormity the downward strike would be." Here Jack doesn’t kill the pig however his attitude to killing pigs, and indeed humans, changes radically during the story. Chapter three opens with Jack hunting pigs through the jungle. Here, there are many animal images attached to Jack, for example Golding writes, â€Å"Jack was bent double†¦.his nose only a few inches from the humid earth.† and â€Å"Then, dog-like†¦on all fours† The descriptions likening Jack to an animal show the first signs of regression among the boys. The most relevant part in this section is the part when Golding describes Jack as ape-like, because modern humans evolved from apes, and so regression would lead to acting again as apes. A line from the passage reads, â€Å"less a hunter than a furtive thing, ape-like among the tangle of trees.† Despite Jack's attempts, he does not kill a pig. He is obsessed with hunting and killing a pig, after his previous embarrassing failure to do so, with Ralph and Simon. "From the pig-run came the quick, hard patter of hoofs, a castanet sound, seductive, maddening-the promise of meat." This desire is clearly overwhelming him. The desire to kill, and thus

How Do We Define the Different Americas

The term Americas refers to the continents of North and South America and all of the countries and territories that lie within them. However, there are other words used to describe geographic and cultural  subsections of this large land mass and it can be quite confusing. What is the difference between North, South and Central America? How do we define Spanish America, Anglo-America, and Latin America? These are very good questions and the answers are not as clear-cut as one might think. Its probably best to list each region with its commonly accepted definition. What Is North America? North America is a continent that  includes Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central America  and the islands of the Caribbean Sea. In general, it is defined as  any country to the north of (and including) Panama. Geographically, the  North American continent also includes Greenland, though culturally and politically, the country is more aligned with Europe.In some uses of North America,   Central America and the Caribbean are excluded and in others, even Mexico is left out of the definition.North America includes 23 independent  countries.A number of the Caribbean islands are territories or dependencies of other (often European)  countries. What Is South America? South America is the other continent in the Western Hemisphere and the  fourth largest in the world. It includes the nations south of Panama, including 12 independent countries and 3 major territories. In some uses, South America may include the portion of Panama south of the Isthmus of Panama.Islands near the main continent are also considered to be part of South America. These include Easter Island (Chile), the Galapagos Islands (Ecuador), the Falkland Islands (U.K.) and South Georgia Islands (U.K.). What Is Central America? Geographically, what we think of a Central America is part of the North American continent. In certain uses - often political, social or cultural - the seven  countries between Mexico and Colombia are referred to as Central America. Central America includes the countries of Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama.Central America can also sometimes include the area of Mexico east of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, such as the Yucatan Peninsula.Central America is an  isthmus, a narrow strip of land that connects North and South America.At its narrowest point in  Darià ©n, Panama, it is only 30 miles from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. At no point is the isthmus more than 125 miles wide. What Is Middle America? Middle America is another term used to refer to Central America and Mexico. At times, it includes the islands of the Caribbean as well. When looking at the United States alone, Middle America refers to the central part of the country.Economically speaking, Middle America may also refer to the middle class of the United States. What Is Spanish America? We use the term Spanish America when referring to the countries settled by Spain or Spaniards and their descendants. This excludes Brazil but includes some of the Caribbean islands. How Do We Define Latin America? The term Latin America is often  used to refer to all of the countries south of the United States, including all of South America. It is used more as a cultural reference to describe all Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking nations in the Western Hemisphere. Latin America includes a very diverse group of people who differ by nationality, race, ethnicity, and culture.Spanish is common throughout Latin America and Portuguese is the main language of Brazil. Native languages such as Quechua and Aymara are also spoken in South American nations like Bolivia and Peru. How Do We Define Anglo America? Also speaking culturally, the term Anglo-America is commonly used. This refers to the United States and Canada where many immigrant settlers were of English, rather than Spanish, decent. In general, Anglo-America is defined by white, English-speakers. Of course, the U.S. and Canada were founded by people from many European countries, including the area of French-speaking Canada, and is far more diverse than this narrow term.Anglo-America is used to distinguish people of these nations from those of Latin America.
