Sandkings George Rr Martin Analysis
In George RR Martin's “Sandkings,” the protagonist, Simon Kress, is extremely sadistic. Some examples of Simon Kress being sadistic is, he starved the sandkings so they would fight each other, he like to kill the sandkings, and he invited his friends over just so they could be killed and fed to the sandkings. After Simon Kress purchased the sandkings, he grew very impatient with them because they were not fighting each other, “the sandkings did not war. He was getting upset. Finally, he stopped feeding them”. This shows that Kress was greedy and took pleasure in watching the sandkings starve to death. However not only were the sandkings dying, they began to fight each other in order to survive.
Another example of Simon Kress demonstrating

    Richard Kuklinski was a notorious serial killer, self-proclaiming that he killed anywhere between 100-200 people. He seems to have no remorse or regret for his actions. There can be several theories of crime causation connected to why Kuklinski behaved in this way, including the behavior theory, behavior modeling, and the nurture theory.…

    Savagery In Lord Of The Flies Essay

    Jack makes the hunters put on masks, and forces them to hunt and kill, which turns them into savages. Conversely, Ralph never puts one on, and never becomes a savage. Ralph always rationally thinks about how the boys can get off the island, make shelter, and get food, but the boys who put on the masks just want to satisfy their insatiable urge to kill. The use of masks in the book symbolizes Freud’s theory that the ID needs to satisfy its demand for instant satisfaction, which for the hunters means killing the pig, and being able to do what they want. Golding includes this in his novel to show that succumbing to the ID leads to evil and savagery, which happens to be bad in…

    Brutality In Lord Of The Flies

    Humans are known for being brutal and vicious. Even as a kid when you take great pleasure in smashing and killing the bugs in your back yard, to when you turn 18 and join the army to be trained to kill. These kinds of things happen every day but rarely do you see them portrayed to the extent of what is really happening, in writing. In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, Golding uses characters like Jack Merridew and events like the pig kills to perpetuate the concept of fear and show the more brutal side of human nature.…

    Theme Of Savagery In Lord Of The Flies

    Throughout this time, we see the boys acting as savages, or “being primitive or uncivilized.” The days of playing and innocence are over, as the island slowly gets corrupted by Jacks savagery. One of the first crimes that took place in Lord of the Flies is when the group of boys kills Simon. Everyone was so focused on the Hunters reenacting the pig hunt that they didn’t notice a dark shadow until it was close to them. Being in a crazed frenzy, Simon was not recognized, and killed as if he were the beast. “The sticks fell and the mouth of the new circle crunched and screamed. The beast was on its knees in the center, its arms folded over its face. It was crying out against the abominable noise something about a body on the hill. The beast struggled forward, broke the ring and fell over the steep edge of the rock to the sand by the water. At once the crowd surged after it, poured down the rock, leapt on to the beast, screamed, struck, bit, tore. There were no words, and no movements but the tearing of teeth and claws.” (Golding,152-153) Multiple arguments could be made in defense of the group, but it was a spur of the moment action. The vast majority of the boys were most likely scared out of their wits, thinking that the beast was coming to get them. The next unforgettable crime was Piggy’s death, or murder. In events leading up to Piggy’s demise, Jack’s tribe ambushes Piggy in order to steal his ‘specs.’ “ ’I got the conch. I’m going to that Jack Merridew an’ tell him I am.’ “ (Golding 171) But what none of the boys realized is that in confronting Jack, something far worse could occur. Piggy was a brave soul to have stood up for what he believed, but surely he did not expect to die that way. Piggy was murdered gruesomely; hit off of a cliff with a boulder. What could cause a child to become so savage that he murdered his fellow peers? Although it was a horrible…

    Human Nature In Lord Of The Flies Research Paper

    One occurrence which portrays this concept is when Simon is murdered. After Simon’s encounter with "The Lord of the Flies," he scurries back in fear to the tribe finding them dancing around the fire. He gets into the middle and the boys mistake him for a beast and vigorously stab him pouring out all the fear that they locked within themselves. Jack stands there encouraging the boys on, not caring whether it is really a beast or Simon. The "beast" talk has been going on for a while now, and the anxiety as well as fear has been building up inside everyone on the island. As a result, everyone feels a sense of relief when they think that they have the beast and they really want to get rid the beast as quickly as possible. "Him Him!" they all shouted. "Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood! Do him in!" (Golding, pg.138) Evil is vital to Jack’s world and he does not tolerate anything lower than evil. Moreover, Simon represents the good in man. He is indeed the "conscious" and the "nice guy" on the island. As a result, Jack finds a need to eliminate Simon from the island so that, in the end, evil will be able to dominate the entire place without any interference.…

    All I Want Catcher In The Rye Analysis

    The song “All I Want” by Kodaline refers to Holden’s feelings toward Phoebe near the end of the book. For example, when Holden is delusional, he thinks he is going to die of pneumonia and says, “...so finally what I figured I’d do, I figured I’d better sneak home and see her, in case I died and all” (Salinger 156). Holden’s one wish before he dies (or so he thinks) was to go see his kid sister Phoebe. Holden has a very close relationship with his sister, and they are both very fond of the other. This mindset is displayed by the members of Kodaline when they sing “‘cause if I could see your face once more/ I could die a happy man I’m sure” (Kodaline). While “All I Want” is admittedly about a romantic relationship and not one of a sibling nature,…

The play was a tragedy and a comedy which was set in modern day on the river bank of Kent.

    Essay on Jack-lord of the flies

    The strong-willed, egomaniacal Jack is the novel’s primary representative of the instinct of savagery, violence, and the desire for power; in short, the antithesis of Ralph. From the beginning of the novel, Jack desires power above all other things. He is furious when he loses the election to Ralph and continually pushes the boundaries of his subordinate role in the group. Early on, Jack retains the sense of moral propriety and behaviour that society instilled in him and ironically in school, he was the leader of the choirboys. The first time he encounters a pig, he is unable to kill it. But Jack soon becomes obsessed with hunting and devotes himself to the task and reacts the characteristics of a sadist or sociopath as he enjoys inflicting pain but shows no remorse and by painting his face like a barbarian and giving himself over to bloodlust his actions escalate more into savagery and away from civilisation. By painting their faces the boys are granted liberation into savagery, at the beginning of the novel they are only boys but with painted faces they have found their purpose and become different men driven by hunting “we want meat”. This portrays ape-like characteristics by using the wrong language and using command words to act as a dictator and undermine the other boys. As the novel progresses the more savage Jack becomes, the more he is able to control the rest of the group. “See, they do what I want”. Apart from Ralph, Simon, and Piggy, the group largely follows Jack in casting off moral restraint and embracing violence and savagery. Jack’s love of authority and violence are intimately connected, as both enable him to feel powerful and exalted. By the end of the novel, Jack has learned to use the boys’ fear of the beast as a catalyst to control their behaviour.…

    Richard Kuklinski

    Richard Kuklinski was born on April 11, 1935, to poor Polish parents, Anna and Stanley Kuklinski, in the projects of New Jersey. (Montaldo) Richard had two siblings; Florian, who died of injuries caused by abuse from his father and Joseph, who was convicted of raping and murdering a twelve year old girl. But of course the most monstrous of the three siblings was Richard. It was the childhood that really set the stage for one of the most cold-blooded serial killers in history. Stanley was a very abusive alcoholic who beat all three of his children and his wife. Anna wasn’t any better with the abuse, often beating the boys with broom handles and other household items. Her beatings were moralized in her mind by her strict Catholic belief of keeping her children in line. In 1940, Stanley’s beatings resulted in the death of Kuklinski’s oldest brother Florian which the family then hid from the authorities by saying he had fallen down the stairs. (Montaldo) By the time Kuklinski reached age 10 he was already acting out, torturing and killing neighborhood animals and by age 14 he committed his first murder. All the rage built up from the beatings from both his family and his peers and he wasn’t just going to take it anymore. He took a steel rod from his closet and ambushed the leader of a local gang that bullied him. He unintentionally beat him to death and felt remorse for his crime for a little while, but then saw this as an opportunity to become powerful and take control of his own life. He then continued to…

    Essay On Enviroment

    For another example we'll take Jack, from The Lord Of The Flies by William Golding. Jack had been forced to maintain his composure constantly because of School rules, and Laws. But after he was taken out of that enviroment, and given the freedom to let his true identity show unfiltered, he became gruesome. He viciously slayed pigs just to prove that he should be leader, even though the survivors on the island hadn't even had a shelter yet. He wanted power, so he seperated from the main group, and started his own group where he disgustingly slaughtered a pig, decapitating it, and impailing the pig's head with a stake. Leaving it as a peace offering for the "beast." Because Jack was no longer goverend by moral impulses he could release his true colors, letting them…
