OK. So, I'm talking to my sophomores today about Sir William Golding's Lord of the Flies, and we got onto the topic of how Ralph smashed that pig skull. My students, who are awesome, were able to surmise that smashing the skull symbolized the hope that good can still rise up in the face of outrageous evil. So true. Evil, in any of its many forms, will never overtake the human spirit. Tut tut, pig-head, you won't win!
