The author states, "A Croat, thus, is someone who is not a Serb. A Serb is someone who is not a Croat." This quotation profoundly expresses the short-sighted mentality present in their conflict. In his travels in Germany, the author points out an important question. Does the nation make the state, or the state the natio ...
... face paint among the boys on the island. Some of the boys, like Ralph and Piggy, never wear face paint. This shows that they stay civilized throughout the story, while the other kids do not. Early in the story, when the hunters chase after a pig, they all where mud, clay, and charcoal as face paint to be “like things trying to look like something else-” (Lord of the Flies, William Golding, p. 66). Later, when Jack forms his own tribe they go hunting with masks of pig blood on their faces, as masks. Golding suggests that the children are able to disguise themselves behind these masks, and escape any punishment, therefore freeing them to do as they please ...
... had been constructed. In 1789 America's coastline was marked by only eight or ten lighthouses; in 1839 by two hundred and fifty. Harbors had been improved, rivers and lakes rendered more navigable, roads and public buildings constructed.

There were now twenty five hundred miles of canals, though none had existed while Washington was in office; and the railroads “ beginning only ten or twelve years ago, are already completed over one thousand miles.” Schools, colleges, lyceums, and institutes were multiplying in scores.(1) As you can see from that ...
... Beasts of England which teaches them the "great" life without man and with no more bad leaders: Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland, Beasts of every land and clime, Hearken to my joyful tidings, Of the golden future time. Soon or late the day is coming, Tyrant Man shall be o'erthrown, And the fruitful fields of England, Shall be trod by beasts alone. Rings shall vanish from our noses, And the harness from our back, Bit and spur shall rust forever, Cruel whips no more shall crack.

... of a chain of the five islands named somehow after death called Isla Muerte, Isla Matanceros, Isla Pena, Isla Tacano, and of course Isla Sorna.

... Rev. Dimmesdale hides his private life from the community and mutinies against his own religion. Through all these characters’ actions, Hawthorne shows us why the Puritan society was in disarray. He agrees with Thoreau and Twain in that society is corrupt and that society is the problem. However, he seems to put more blame on the individual than on the masses. Hester and her daughter, of course, were not actually Puritans, but Hawthorne is just using them as an example of how no society will ever remain “pure” because it is impossible for the people within the society to remain pure. This is a very dark and pessimistic view, because it does not leave room for ...
