In this work of fiction, it is not difficult to see that it could be an allegory. An allegory is a narrative, typically a novel, containing symbolism or another story within it. Moving on to the story itself, its main plot consists of a group of boys that have been trapped on an island after a plane crash, and must figure out how to survive with one another. Behind the scenes

His response was, “I did not choose this life for myself. God called me to the ministry and for several years I ignored his calling for as long as I could until I finally realized that this is what I am meant to do with my life. Making this decision was one that was not easy at all it is something that I prayed over for several months
the story is Simon’s encounter with the Lord of the Flies. On many accounts, it references this plot sequence as the defining point in the story. Multiple points are made as to other scenes being the contradiction moment. Simon is the most influential character in the story seeing as though he is meant to represent Jesus. He represents the same characteristics (selflessness) but also shows his humanity in the way that he does not rise from the dead. The Lord of the Flies is the main antagonist in

This justice should be ultimate and should not be changed or distorted. The judges are also to not take bribes from anyone or be partial.

A product of Lord Henry's contradicting hedonistic philosophies, Dorian Grey forms a double personality comprised of a truthful painting representing his soul and an the antithesis that is himself, much like Henry's epigrams that often contain an inverse to their initial message.

the Lord Nelson Mass composed by Joseph Haydn. In this concert, the two performances differed greatly unlike the last performance that I went to. The previous one that I attended had music that all sounded very similar to me. That could just be my lack of experience with American music, especially music that was composed hundreds of years ago.
