Character Analysis: The Monkey King
For my essay I chose to write about how it took the Monkey King 500 to return to his true form to escape the rock pile. In the book Jin Wang must return from Danny to his real self in order to go back home. Jin wang returns to his true form to show the monkey King and he is able to return home to see his friend. The monkey King also had to return to his true because he was pretending to be Chinkee Danny's cousin.
Another character who had to transform back into his true form was Wei Chen because he was really the monkey kings son. But Wei Chen decided not to transform into his true form and left school. I have experienced this many times when I was younger in 5 fifth grade I pretended to be popular and started hanging out with the wrong crowd.

    In the beginning of the novel, Lord of the Flies, Piggy is timid. Piggy changes from being timid to being confident to feeling free. Here are some examples of Piggy changing. In chapter one, Piggy felt embarrassed when Ralph told the boys his name. The boys laughed then “for the moment the boys were a closed circuit of sympathy with Piggy outside: he went very pink, bowed his head and cleaned his glasses again” (Goldberg 14). In chapter two, Piggy got enraged because of Jack, Ralph, and the other boys. Piggy said, “Like kids!” he said scornfully. “Acting like a crowd of kids!”(Goldberg 30).

    What is a leader, you may ask. It is a person you can depend on to lead and make the right decisions for your group’s ultimate survival.

I guess with me working at the hospital I have been able to speak and assist all types of people in need. A particular individual is not bad because of their race, but if they it is who they are of themselves not their country or color.

    1]Absolutism and relativism both have their differences but actually relative is based on absolutism principles, because if it wasn’t the absolute relativism wouldn’t even be moral system. First I will start with Absolutism, Strength of Absolutism are, it has fixed standards so they won’t change and the actions can be measured against this, the guideline are clear and won’t ever get distorted for behaviour so in societies where absolutism is used as the single moral system citizens know their boundaries and would be more less likely to commit crimes because they know the consequences. When punishing people it keeps the consistency so no one person has a different or less punishment because the act will always be wrong- thus making the system fair for everyone. Absolutism morality makes it easier for governments to make rules because they know that committing that certain act will always be wrong and can choose a punishment that will fit all people.…
