.... The fact is that many of my character’s traits and personalities come from people I am aquatinted or related to in my personal life.

The activities that took place in P&P also took place in the late 18th and early 19th century among the middle and upper classes. Very silly and boring indeed. Marrying well was very important at the time. Some paid the consequences just to have the luxuries of being married rich. So, I took notice and decided, wouldn’t .....

.... dream seems more attainable with Candy’s involvement. But here lies the tragedy of this classic novel. Their dream turned into a cliché of a line in Robert Burns’ poem where he writes that “the best-laid schemes o’ mice an’ men gang aft agley.” Their dream seemed it would become a success until a tragic event brought failure.

.... go to him. "By the time Ralph had finished blowing the conch the platform was crowded(#32)." Next, one of the bigger symbols is the fire. Enforcing the rules is one thing, but the children would rather play than keep the fire going. Ralph gives the idea for the fire, but can they keep it going? " There's another thing. We can help them to find us. If a ship comes near the island they might not notice us. We must make a fire(#38)." Jack has a great idea to use Piggy's glasses to light the fire."
