    "Yes the motherfucker looks so deadly it makes me giggle and blush." (155) Weapons play an important role in war. Not only do they protect and kill, but they provide a feeling of comfort to a soldier because the soldiers are in control of their weapons.

Swafford constantly describes the many guns he carries, the process of cleaning his weapons and how they use them.

    The prison door is important to the Puritan social order, whose unbendable certainty condemns and confines Hester. Like the door (oak is among the heaviest and most grounded of woods), the Puritans are fearless in their moral quality and along these lines, unsympathetic in their judgements. The iron spikes reinforce this delineation, drawing in thought with respect to the gathering's merciless judgements and reformatory character. The usage of oak in the line emphasizes the centrality of the prison and its importance in their world.…

    In “Lord of the Flies” William Golding portrays many biblical examples through various characters. One character is named Simon which portrays Jesus and another character is named Roger which portrays the devil. One example that I think Simon acts like Jesus is when Simon, was sitting between the twins and Piggy, he wiped his mouth and shoved his piece of meat over the rocks to Piggy, who grabbed it (Golding 74). This shows that Simon gave his food to Piggy who was not able to have any and I related this incident to Jesus because he gave bread and food to the homeless which is biblical and shows that he has the same traits as Jesus did. Another example of Simon containing the actions of Jesus happened when Simon told Ralph that he would get…
