lord of the flies

i have 2 questions in "lord of the flies"

1. How does Golding "the writer" show that there are children of different ages and experience just by recording their spoken language?

2. Find examples in the novel of language which creates a strong sense of unpleasantness of life on the island?

please answer me as soon as possible thank you

Have you tried reading the book? I'm sure that is what your teacher would like you to do!--193.195.0.102 00:11, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An excellent suggestion. The reader might also try Lord of the Flies, incidently I mentioned this book at work today - first time i've mentioned it in years. I'd say it's spooky but it isn't, it's just a coincidence. Either way both questions sound very simple. Different language will be used by older/more experience children and more infantile/naïve language by the younger children - that is unless the writer wanted to show off a younger child as bright/an older child as childish. Second question look for powerful unpleasant words, shouldn't be too hard. Good luck ny156uk 20:44, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Which website shown on 60 Minutes Show ?

On the 60 minutes show this Sunday (Australia), there was a report shown about some youth following the stunts done in the movie(s) "Jackass". And there was one guy who owned a site which hosted stunts of these guys. Does anyone have the URL of that website.

Thanks, Nikhil. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nikhilthemacho (talk • contribs) 00:44, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- It appears to be a CV or resume. Not sure who'd want to hire an illiterate art critic, though. Matt Deres (talk) 01:23, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Females voicing males

I was astounded to see that Naota from FLCL is voiced by Barbara Goodson. Look at her picture and then watch up to 1:00 of this FLCL episode-part (he's the 12 year old kid in the blue windbreaker). I just can't believe it.. is it really her? It sounds like a male.. how does she do that?! --⁪ffroth 07:00, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can't view the video from where I am now but both her article here and her page at the IMDb confirm that she's the voice of this Naota person. It's not so outlandish, after all one of the most popular male animated characters of all time is voiced by a woman. Dismas|^(talk) 07:16, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Very common for women to voice young male characters in cartoons as there voices don't break like a real young male's would eventually. Exxolon 19:15, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not just Bart, but all the other male children on the Simpsons too - Milhouse (Pamela Hayden), Ralph (also Cartwright), Nelson (Cartwright again), Rod and Todd (also Hayden), Martin (Russi Taylor), Uter (also Taylor), Kearney (Cartwright), Jimbo (Hayden), Dolph (Tress MacNeill), Database (Cartwright)...

I wonder does anyone know any modern cartoons with young males voiced by male's? Arkkeeper (talk) 20:18, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Half life

I would be very happy if some one could resolve my doubts about half life series.

1-HF2 will begin only and only if freeman accepts the offer in hf1?

2-Are the episode's half life blue shift and etc different from halflife(which I have with counter strike)

And the same with HF2. Are episode,s 1 and 2 not included in the same versions.

3-How much memory does halflife 2take .

4-How long will it averagely take me to complete halflife2 (it took me 2months to clear hf1)

Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lorenzo lammas (talk • contribs) 12:49, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1. HL2 is an entirely separate game. You can play it regardless of the choice you made at the end of HL1. The game assumes that you took the G-Man's deal because, if you hadn't, there would be no game to play.

2. Blue Shift and Opposing force are expansions to HL1. They were originally sold separately but now come with HL1 if you get it on Steam. They allow you to play from the perspective of characters who are party to the events of HL1 ("The Black Mesa Incident"). Blue Shift lets you play as the base security guards and Opposing Force lets you play as a member of the US Marines that are sent to contain the incident by killing everything inside (including Gordon Freeman). Each are the same story, just a different perspective.

I'm not sure what your next question is asking but I'll give it a stab. Episodes 1 and 2 for HL2 are direct continuations of the story started in HL2 ("Episode zero"). Each picks up the exact moment in story where the previous left off. Episode 1 was a separate purchase from HL2. I'm pretty sure Episode 2 can be purchased separately but I wouldn't recommend it. Episode 2 was released last month as part of the "Orange Box" package that included HL2, Episode 1, Episode 2, Portal and Team Fortress 2 for US$49. IMO Portal and Team Fortress 2 are each worth US$49 and should not be missed. If you buy the Orange Box and already have HL2 and Episode 1, you receive a coupon that you can give to a friend that they can trade in to get HL2 and Episode 1 for free.

3. Half-life_2 says that 256MB of RAM is the minimum requirement. More is better.

4. It's been a while, but I think Half Life 2 was about 25 hours worth of gameplay. How many weeks or months that takes depends on how many hours a day you can devote. Episodes 1 and 2 are about 7 hours of gameplay each. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.47.120.57 (talk) 17:19, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Music in "Ugly Betty" episode

Can anyone tell me the name of the music that was playing in the Studio 54 scene of the Grin and Bear It episode of Ugly Betty? I think it must be a famous 80s disco song, but I really don't know the name. Thanks in advance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.129.241.186 (talk) 21:11, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
