Lord Of The Flies Characters

Never mind the WTF: Corpse flowers and bad toys

I say this is unfortunate, because I’m not really in the habit of mocking art I haven’t seen yet. And, honestly, is there anything more tedious than making fun of Michael Bay? The filmmaker is perhaps a well-deserved target of mockery, and earns much of it, but the release of a Bay film is primarily an opportunity for critics to sharpen their knives and dine on his flesh. in its possession, known more colloquially as titan arum, and even more colloquially as the corpse flower. It’s a name that calls to mind something you would discover in Morticia Addams’ greenhouse, blooming behind her as she snips the bulbs off of roses. And it looks right as well — you don’t call a flower a titan unless it’s pretty big, and the corpse flower is the largest unbranched inflorescence in the world. Now, I know you’re probably not a botanist, and so a phrase like "unbranched inflorescence" may not mean much. Suffice it to say the plant can grow to as tall as 10 feet. The one at Como Observatory is taller than a typical man, and a typical man in Minnesota is a giant. The flower has a long and frankly rude-looking spadix in its center, a sort of french loaf-shaped thing that is purplish, which is not the color you want your baguette to be, and, from the right angle, causes the flower to look a bit like it is sticking its tongue out at the sky. This is surrounded by what is called a spathe, which is a sort of enormous petal that generally hugs the spadix closely, but the plant flowers very infrequently, and the spathe opens up to reveal that it is also purplish, and also to reveal the source of the flower’s most colloquial name. I’ve gone twice. The first time, I was a little let down. It’s not a profound smell. I’ve smelt human death up close — I had a neighbor who died in his shower and went undiscovered long enough to produce a pungency that was eye-watering and gag-producing. This is not that. It’s supposed to smell of rotting flesh, but, to my inexpert nose, it instead smells like somebody has stubbed their cigarettes out in orange juice and then poured both out onto a big pile of dirt, and all have sort of gone bad together. It’s not a delightful smell, but neither does it make you think that, just perhaps, you have stumbled into the opening scene of an episode of "Law and Order," and are about to trip over a murdered cadaver.

Lord of the Flies characters anxiety disorders?

Some types of anxiety disorders, we had to work with are: phobias, OCD, the disorder of post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and sociopathic.

If you have any ideas what the characters of the book (Ralph, Jack, Piggy, Simon), which could be classified any of these disorders and the reasons why it would be great!

Sarah addressed:
Jack, the antagonist, suffers from some angry or psychotic because he kills pigs and some characters (for anyone who has not read the book sorry for the spoilers).

I don't think Simon suffers from any psychological problems; he was supposed to signify intelligence and christianity on the island.

Lord of the Flies was a great book, it was the only novel, besides all quiet on the western front, that I really enjoyed reading for school.
