specs
Piggy is the most intelligent, rational boy in the group, and his glasses represent the power of science and intellectual endeavour in society. " His specs, use them as burning glasses!" page 40. This is shown the best when Piggy's glasses are used to make fire by using sunlight with their lenses.The boys start trying to make survival acts in the begining and by making fire it is making the island closer to civilization, so the specs are civilized. The specs are manmade and represent the connection to civilization. "One side is broken" page 71. So, when Jack's hunters raid Ralph's camp and steal the glasses, the savages have taken the power to make fire, and Ralph's civilization is left helpless.When the glasses broke it was foreshadowing of the begining of the loss of progressive civil living. The glasses are the head symbol for society and

Upon meeting Enkidu, Gilgamesh learns many new things. This friend of his changes his whole life and becomes his best friend . Gilgamesh is not bored any more and he has better things to do with his best friend. So together Gilgamesh and Enkidu plan a great heroic adventure to get wood so they can build in their city.

Journey's End
"Journey's End" by R.C. Sherriff In his play, "Journey's End", R.C. Sherriff shows not only the brutal effects of the war, but the effects of the eminent conflict and tension between characters throughout the play. Clever stage directions, dialogue and characterisation help the playwright to achieve this. The play focuses on the relationships between the characters, and the heavy toll which war takes on them. We learn that several of the conflicts are resolved as the play progresses, however. The play is set in a dug-out in France during the First World War, and the characters which we see are officers of Company "A", which is commanded by Stanhope. One area of obvious conflict in the play is between the two main characters, Stanhope and Raleigh. Stanhope is commander of the company, and a highly respected man, although he is just twenty-one. Raleigh is a new officer, and is excited to be joining Stanhope's company, as they were good friends at school. However, Stanhope is shocked at Raleigh's arrival and does not greet him in a welcoming manner. When Raleigh is introduced to Stanhope, he is bewildered. The stage directions read: "Stanhope stares at Raleigh as though dazed." He also speaks "in a low voice", which shows he is uncomfortable in Raleigh's presence. We learn the reason for Stanhope's dismay at Raleigh's arrival later in the scene, as he speaks of his and
