Lord of the Flies

By Anonymous -


Image result for lord of the fliesLord of the Flies was a truly good book. I read this book last year and it enlightened me. This book was about the quest of a group of marooned boys ages 5-13 trying to get off the island. Most people at first glance would think that this book is one of those survival books. The saying "never judge a book it’s cover "especially applies to this novel. After getting stranded, the boys made a chief, a government of sorts, as well as a set of rules. This book not only is about the struggle to survive on a deserted island, but it very accurately describes the human condition. This is not satirical, it only brings light to human nature. During the middle of the book, there was an issue. The smaller kids claimed of a beast on the island, bigger than any animal known to man. The older boys decide to hunt down this “beast” but in the process, daily life on the island begins to break down as the lifestyle turns to an anarchy. The boys end up killing each other and a message becomes clear, “Maybe there is a beast, or maybe it is only us”. This message accurately describes human nature and the mask we wear to hide our true selves. This book gave me a new perspective on mankind as it revealed the true monsters we really are.

The Spongebob Fanfiction Spongebob was doing his normal morning routine. He woke up, ate breakfast, brushed his teeth, and was on his way to the crabby patty.

Inscribed on the coin it read,” The most magical coin in the world”. “Patrick look!” Exclaimed SpongeBob with excitement. “What is it Spongebob?” Patrick exclaimed with even more excitement than Spongebob. “‘I found a magic coin!” Shouted Spongebob. “I don’t believe any of that hocus pocus crap anymore.” Said, Patrick. “Why not?” Asked Spongebob “Because a coin just like that made me lose my left leg.” Said Patrick in a dramatic tone. “Wait, What?” Exclaimed Spongebob just realizing that Patrick had a peg leg. “When did that happen?” Spongebob asked. “It happened to everyone.” Said Patrick surprisingly calm. Spongebob quick...

Lit device story

By Anonymous -
“Ugh! My family is so annoying all they do is yell at me. Even if I do something good they’ll find the littlest mistake.” Then my mom comes to my door she was banging on that door like a fighter pounding a boxing bag. “KNOCK KNOCK!” “OPEN UP MIKE!” She screamed. I just sat quietly. I was sick of them being so mean to me. I just tried to not care and see their reaction. That was the worst mistake of my life because my mom did something I thought she would never do. “You want to not open the door fine then stay there!” She said angrily. I hear nails the banging I thought she was loud enough to wake up the dead in the graveyard across town. I sprint to the door trying to open it, she locked from the outside. I start crying, the tears slowly come down my face knowing I’m stuck here. I cry “Why mom?, how could you do this to your own son?” My mom laughs and says “You're not my son. You’re a little s**t, a mistake.” That made me shocked and I fell to the ground...
