The Lord of the flies had unrealistic ending when a navy officer, deux ex machina, saves the boys from the island. In chapter 12, Jacks tribe is hunting Ralph down ready to kill him, but just when we begin to start doubting his survival, a military figure finds him. Throughout the novel there has been many references to military “ like a bomb” (46) the reason they make reference to the military is because war is also savage and uncivilized just like the boys. At the beginning of the novel Ralph proposes to make a fire so that boats passing by would come to save them “ if a ship comes near the island they may not notice us(..) We must make a fire” (38). In the final chapter the hazard uncontrolled fire that Jacks hunters made to kill Ralph is what led to their survival “we saw your smoke” (201).
CHAPTERS (5 to 8) Marria Qibtia Sikandar The novel “Lord of the Flies” is a constitution of human psychology that aptly explores the dynamics of human nature with particular reference to the primal survival instinct that is well embedded within each individual. Survival Instinct acts as a center pin that gels the novel and relates it to the chief theme of the novel, the tendency of man for evil. Golding wrote the novel as a reaction to the destructive World War Two that was intended as a “war to end all wars”.

Being human, they are not void of the inherent streak of evil that permeates their character which is a by -product of their survival instinct.
Ralph is introduced as an optimistic boy. However, Ralph gradually matures by understanding the difficulties of surviving on a deserted island, labeling Simon’s death as murder, and comprehending his loss of innocence. Upon arrival to the island, Ralph is very idealistic on his viewpoint to his situation. When Ralph first meets Piggy, he and Piggy play together as if nothing is wrong — “Ralph danced out into the hot air of the beach and then returned as a fighter-plane…and machine-gunned Piggy” (11). In this situation, Ralph has just
Lord of the flies’ essay In the book lord of the flies by William Golding Ralph changes from being mindful to becoming a failure, to end up being determined.

It shows that Ralph does not want to fight over who leads and just gives jack the chance to be a hunter and lead a small group. Ralph and piggy came up with the idea that when they blow the conch shell that means a meeting is about to start, also whoever has the conch has permission to speak.
Lord of the Flies – Assignment Right VS Wrong In the novel “Lord of the Flies” the kids did both right and wrong things. The right things that they boys did are: for example in chapter 2 Ralph finds a conch and decides to use it for calling all the other boys to plan out the things that they are going to do to survive instead of playing with it like an amateur , that is one example of a right thing that they did. Another example is that in chapter 4 again Ralph decides to use the fire that the hunters and others were using for roasting the pig as a sign for help/hope on top of the mountain.
