Wife And Son Return Home
1,069 words
In life we all struggle and search for happiness
and love. We are in a constant pursuit to find and
hold onto the things that we hold dear to
ourselves. This is much like the book The Odyssey.
Odysseus was on a search to find his way back to
the things that brought him peace and happiness.

though this supposedly happened hundreds of years
ago, this is the same journey we live through.
From the beginning of the story it seems as though
Odysseus has re...

this psyche in the characters Jack, Piggy and
Ralph and how they change during their time on the
island. Towards the end of the eighth chapter it
became very apparent that Piggy and Jack both had
two very different ideas on how they would
survive. Jack thinks that hunting an...
