There are signs the bars Birnam’s frequently visiting are homosexual areas. Birnam’s contemplating on traveling to Jack’s, believing he’s drunk enough to drink and socialize with strangers. Later in the story he reads the newspaper clip “JACK’s—in Charles Street—WHERE GOOD FELLOWS GET TOGETHER” (85). The newspaper clip Birnam’s reading advertises bringing all men together to have a countless time. The clip’s intended to draw the eyes of men to attend the bar, and not women, thus through both scenes Jack’s a gay bar where Birnam visits when he want to socialize with other gay

He shows that he enjoys releasing the rock that killed Piggy showing that indeed he had developed into an evil monster under the chaotic environment. The events of the death of Piggy clearly demonstrates that with the abandonment of civilisation the boys decent into anarchy. In the end, Golding uses the dark and gruesome events leading to the death of Simon and Piggy as well as the savagery developing in the character of Jack to prove that when civilisation falls away and individuals are left to their own immediate desires, anarchy ensues in its most evil form. However, though Lord of the Flies displays the problems of humanity, there are plenty of pieces of literature that depicts the bright side of humanity, which hopefully outnumbers the negatives.

Overall, evil does exist in all of us in different doses. Some people may express evil more openly than others, such as Jack, and others may keep their evil under lock and key, such as Ralph. Both characters are very young but have an evil capacity equal to that of a fully grown adult, maiming and killing their peers.

One can witness through the parties of "dazzling extravagance"(E.K. 7), the decieving underworld business of Gatsby, the "wasteland" Valley of Ashes (Miller 106), the unreal ,cold palaces of the East and West Egg, and most of all in the imaginary self-invented souls of Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan the truth to the idea of outward appearances. Not only did these deceptive masks prove to be important but they were essential to the plot of the novel. The Great Gatsby 's success can be attributed to the twists and turns provided by the human need to judge one another and develop onesself through the use of outward appearances.

Gatsby eventually gets killed in pursuit of romance with the beautiful, superficial socialite, Daisy Buchanan.

The irony of the title of this book is another thing that makes it so great and out of the ordinary. Fitzgerald was a pioneer in bringing to light the flaws within the American Dream. By writing The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald successfully revealed the typically overlooked downside to striving for perfection.

Through the thorough analysis of these two ideas, the novel’s fictitious setting and the relationship it has with the two books is expounded. The role of book one in Utopia is to introduce and build the character of Raphael Hythloday for the reader. This is achieved through the argument between both Hythloday and the lawyer about thievery. This argument demonstrates Hythloday’s reliability and wisdom as a character as a precursor to book two. This then conveys the More, the author’s egalitarian views and consequently his opposing views on the English political system at that time.

The Invisible Man by HG Wells Griffin - Wells goes in great detail about the way Griffin (the Invisible Man) looks and acts. He writes about Griffin's bad temper and his evil scheme of stealing money and food to survive as an invisible man. He makes the character, Griffin, realistic because his emotions, like expressing his anger through shouting, are something people are familiar with. Griffin was quick to anger by the taking of drugs and stimulants. What may have begun as quick temper and impatience turns into violent rage and a wish to commit murder.

The drink had snagged on an impression in the bar. It was an eighth inch deep and matched the form of the locket. The two friends looked at each other. "It makes you wonder if humans are the residents he was talking about," George said. He relaxed in the bar stool.

The narrow five-story structure presents the ideal setting for self-destruction. The characters come here in order to "drink away their problems" (O'Neill 597). All of the characters in the novel come to Harry Hope's bar as an escape. They manage somehow to "remain drunk and delude themselves"(Gagey 332), "with a few harmless pipe dreams about their yesterdays and tomorrows" (O'Neill 620). They feel sheltered and protected from the real world while in the bar.
