Charisma Records

As the cynical philosopher Thomas Hobbes postulated, all humans possess an innate wickedness that will provoke chaos in a state of nature. This philosophy can be applied to the boys’ looming barbarity depicted in William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, as their savagery aggrandizes overtime in their island that was once a paradise -- a natural environment without civilization and supervision. The boys eventually come to the point of destroying one another as well as nature, and these occurrences are

Using Scars to Communicate in Beloved There are certainly complications to assumptions of how scars are used as a means of communication in the novel, Beloved. The character named Beloved has her own distinct scars that bear significance in the story. Her scars are distinct not only in their origins, but also in their meaning, and create a point of diversion from the traditional pattern established by the role of scars in the lives of other characters. The scratches on her forehead and the

All Scars Are Not Bad The connotation with a scar is often a mark of physical damage to one’s skin, but a scar can also be psychological or emotional damage. Scars are seen as that something bad or wrong has happened but every scar also tells a story, a lesson even. We usually do not think the ones we love, or used to love, could be the ones who can scar us. In my last relationship, I loved the girl with all of my heart. I loved her so much that her views soon became my own and I began to lose my

So get on with it if you must.” Lionel went flaccid, and Morgane, losing interest in this game, pulled away. However, the flogging resumed. Even now, he heard the sharp crack of the whip and felt the searing pain of the lashes against his bare skin. The nausea that crawled up his throat that day returned, burning his mouth. He balled his hands into fists in his lap, hoping that would cause the trembling to subside, and he might pull himself together before he did or said something foolish. Alis

Personal Narrative- The Story Behind a Scar A spark of flint, then a burst of flame and the Bic lighter was alive, glowing like a serpent’s eye. It had finally come to this. Things were going so well too: I had money, dreams, a whole future figured out. Now I was a drunken liar, facing criminal charges and jail time; sadly I was only nineteen. Hungover with a broken knuckle and no memory of how it happened, to top it all off my butterfly knife, a deadly weapon made for surgically precise combat

The Scars of Sethe and Paul D in Beloved Scars are undoubtably an incredible means of storytelling in Beloved. No matter how a person changes or what happens to them, these marks are another bit of tangible history, following each of them wherever they may go. These physical characteristics are what one can believe in, more than what is said or written. When written and oral language can many times not be trusted, physical characteristics provide another more certain form of communication--one

Every scar makes me who I am Someone once said, “Scars are stories in our skin”. Often we look at them as a blemish or a bad memory. We suffer for a long time by trying to find our happiness for healing ourselves. Are scares not the symbol of experience? Are they not the things that make us who we are? In my life I have learned that we need to remember the scars, whether emotional or physical. Sometimes they can be positive and keep the memories of self-esteem and honor. I was injured many times

Everyone has scars. Scars can come from something as simple as a cat scratch to something as dramatic as open-heart surgery. Some scar tissue is hidden inside the body; other scars are visible on the skin. They can be construed different ways; some people look at their scars as trophies or stories to be told, others as imperfections and blemishes. Scars can be miniscule or as large as a person’s whole face. Facial injuries, especially burns and animal attacks, can cause permanent facial deformity
