I first saw Emily Carr’s paintings in a book of great Canadian artists within the library of my Ontario public school.

This painting depicts a tall tree rejected as being too spindly for good lumber that is left standing in clearcut forest against the feathered shimmering sky. The painting had a unusually quality that depicts a place that was impossible to go, yet to surrounds Canadian’s everyday the…

All people would be doomed to complete destruction and destined to succumb to desperation if civilization were to crumble catastrophically. In Lord of the Flies by William Golding, a crowd of young boys experiences a mysterious plane crash that lands them on an almost completely deserted island to fend for themselves.

Without it, the boys on the island would have a much lower chance of survival. When the boys first crash on the island, they find a conch shell. Whoever has the conch shell is the only one who can speak at that time. Ralph uses it to call the boys, “We can use this to call the others. Have a meeting. They’ll come when…

Survival of the Fittest in Literature When many think of the term ‘survival of the fittest,’ the image of a violent struggle comes to mind, of which the strongest opponent survives. While this is an example of the concept, it does not define it. Being the ‘fittest’ can mean being the smartest, best camouflaged, or even most cooperative.
