Thesis:

If there is no society to hold the natural human instincts in restraint, people will lose self-control and start acting violently.  

Introduction

Today, the Earth is inhabited by approximately 7 billion people. With help from the laws of society we share the land of the Earth and live side by side, but what would happen if the laws of society weren’t there? This situation is found in “Lord of the Flies” and the novel clearly illustrates the importance of laws and the consequences of not having any. This essay will argue for that the characters, setting and turning point illustrate the message of the novel. If there is no society to hold the natural human instincts in restraint, people will lose self-control and start acting violently.  

Topic sentence 1

Over time you can clearly see how the lack of society and civilization turns the characters into savages.

Topic sentence 2

The setting of the novel has a huge impact on the characters’ behavior due to the non-civilized society.

Topic sentence 3

The turning point when Jack leaves the group to form his own army with no laws illustrates the human instincts’ overpower of his civilized behavior.

Comparison "White Tiger" and "Slumdog Millionaire"

There are many similarities between ”Slumdog Millionaire” and ”White Tiger”. One clear similarity is that the both main characters come from extreme poor conditions. Balram Halwai grows up in a poor family with a low caste in a small town in India and Jamal becomes homeless at a very young age and starts to live on the streets in the slum.

However, there are some differences as well. One difference is that Jamal and Balram want different things in life and have different goals. Balram wants to become a successful entrepreneur while Jamal’s biggest dream is to live his life together with a woman that he loves.

My first impressions of The White Tiger

My first impressions of The White Tiger are good. I think the book seems to be interesting and exciting. I like the way the book is set up, that the book is written like letters to a person in China that includes small anecdotes of Balram's life. I also like the way he writes and tells the reader about his life and you can clearly feel the tension building up to the murder. It is interesting to read about the background of how he became a successful entrepreneur.
In the book you learn a lot about India and how the society works in India with castes and poverty etc.which is interesting.
