beautiful essay.  Nice analysis of the novel and good explanation of the latent antagonist, "fear."\n\nTo answer your question, I have a few  title suggestions for the essay. \n\nThe true "Beast" to be feared is radical imagination.\n\nA good imagination is healthy but Imagination plus fear kills.\n\nFear is a destructive Beast.\n\n\ngood luck

Fahrenheit 451 is the temperature at which book paper catches fire and burns.\n\nThat is almost a direct quote from the book.  If you haven't read it, please do.  Used to be required reading in schools, not sure if it is on the reading lists anymore.\n\nThe author is Ray Bradbury.

I wish I had kept the essay I had written on this book last year, but I do remember some about Ralph.\n\nRalph used the conch shell as a method of gathering the group together, and in doing so, he took an iniative as a leader.  The novel foreshadows him as a good leader because of his physical stature (lean body, fair hair, good complexion).  He embodied all of these characteristics.  Ralph represents democracy and he sees the island as an opportunity to exercise his newfound strength.\n\nHe has some originality of ideas too, such as building shelter first, setting up the fire, the camp, directing who should do what jobs, finding hunters and others to gather fruit, and designating the "bathroom" spot so the tide clears up the waste.\n\nRalph is ineffective because he gets most of his ideas from Piggy and refuses to compromise with Jack and his choir.  Because of this, they separate and get into fights, thereby allowing themselves to transcend into savagery.  The more conflict, the worse his reliabiliy is.  Futhermore, Ralph buys into the theory of a "ghost" or "beast."  It is Simon that discovers the truth, although untimately he pays the price when trying to warn the others of his discovery about the parachuted man on the mountain.  \n\nAs far as his inability to remember his purpose, Ralph gets tied up in so many small conflicts over power.  Gradually, these get bigger and his leadership diminishes.  The final symbolism of his full loss of power  occurs when Piggy is killed and the conch shell is shattered.\n\nI hope this helps!

I don't know if it's the same book you're talking about, but you might want to check out "THE TURNER DIARIES", by Andrew MacDonald, along with its sequel, "HUNTER".\n\nThere is a third book in the series, "SERPENT'S WALK", but I've not read it.\n\nI really enjoyed "THE TURNER DIARIES" and "HUNTER".\n\nThere have also been several other books written about survival and apocalyptic scenarios.\n\nI remember one about a group of modern day Mormons struggling to get from North Carolina to Utah, on foot (because there was no gasoline) and being hunted and killed by local "Christians".\n\nBut, I don't remember the name of the book.\n\nThere were also some comic books about the same subject, but I don't know where you'd find them now.\n\nAt the time (many years ago), the comic strips were published in "SOLDIER OF FORTUNE" magazine and "SURVIVAL" magazine.\n\nI think "SURVIVAL" magazine is no longer published, but you can still subscribe to "SOLDIER OF FORTUNE", which has a web site.

Hash, Atticus Finch was the conscience of his community, the moral backbone. He kept the community aware of its responsibilities to those who were disadvantaged in any way.  A good example of this is that he made Scout read to the elderly lady she feared. As Scout spent more time reading to Mrs. Dubose, she understands how sad and frightened this old lady actually is. Atticus has shown her that all people are deserving of her respect and understanding. Atticus's moral compass is so clear that most of his community respect and admire him, but he's not dependent on that. When Maycomb's citizens begin to say cruel things about him to his children because he's defending Tom Robinson, it doesn't change what he believes nor what he teaches Scout and Jem. He stands up for what he believes is right, no matter the cost.

Sounds like it is from "War of the Worlds". Maybe the following:\n\n"Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us."

Yep - I read it in high school and it was hilarious... Sad about the author though, I think the book my have been semi-autobiographical. It was one of only a handful of required reading in high school that I didn't hate: Catcher in the Rye, Caine Mutiny, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest are the only others I can recall that I didn't hate reading.

Actually, I think it's both. Mockingbirds imitate segments of songs from other birds, as well as other environmental sounds, thaty may include car alarms, horses, and other loud and fairly high noises.\nBut what they produce from these different parts is unique. I've often stopped and looked up into a tree, wondering what type of bird could sing like that (some entirely new song, but which sounded a little familiar) and I've seen a proud mockingbird exhibiting on a branch :-)\nEven when they imitate a specific bird very closely, they add their own style to the song.

I remember reading this book back in High School. I don't remember any of it though.  Have you tried sparknotes.com?  If not, I know it is a movie. That probably doesn't help you much though.  Go to sparknotes.\n\nhttp://www.sparknotes.com/lit/flies/
