Of course then Piggy was killed. This was another mistake because of many things; first of all, Piggy was a voice of reason for all of the boys on the island, even if they never really listened to him. He was very smart and resourceful. Without him the boys just became more uncivilized and ended up setting the whole island on fire to try and kill Ralph. It is also important to realize that you don’t just kill people because you feel like it, because in a civilized culture there are consequences for those types of
As Jack begins to rise to power Ralph no longer has a drive to even speak to the boys. This can be seen when Ralph picks up the conch to call a meeting and puts it down. He puts it down because he fears that no one will listen to him, that all his requests would be ignored. Losing all his confidence as a leader and the order on the island would diminish. After taking into account all of these things it’s wise to say that Ralph failed in his attempt to persuade the boys.
Johnny, knowing how prized and amazing he was at his job, was bossy and mean towards most in the family, even Mr. Lapham. Because of how prideful he was, Johnny would defend himself to anybody that insulted him, which, in my opinion, caused him to not care when he made fun of someone. In the book, Dove, another apprentice, tricked Johnny and caused him to burn his hand with silver. The hand became
But like John, Tiger can fuel his temper in working out to overcome a problem. John is also a good man but finds his anger is made by the town. The events with witchcraft in the town caused everyone to lie and not stick to the real person they were. John like Tiger always has been himself and wouldn’t let anything change that. Both men used this to help solve the major problems faced.
The boys don’t see it that way though; they think he’s a great Chief because he takes them hunting. “He’s a proper Chief, isn’t he?” “He’s going to take us hunting.” (Golding, 176) This proves that none of them have any common sense anymore, they don’t care about survival. All they care about is hunting. Jacks tribe having no order has 3 terrible outcomes, Piggy’s death, Simon’s death, and the attempted murder of Ralph. All of it is chaos.
He is brave because he stood up to T ony D. even though he was way smaller than Tony. Also, Freak helped Max get away from Max’s dad by getting a squirt gun and filling it up with vinegar and curry powder to shoot Max’s dad. An example of this I when Freak tells Max’s dad to put his hands up, and to stop. (Pg. 101) This is significant because Freak is acting very brave against Max’s dad while everybody else is scared of him.
When Jack gains the support of the boys, this shows that everyone has evil inside of them, but it's usually held back unless something triggers it to come out. Psychological Freud: Jack is the ID because he is driven by his desire for power, control, and the pig meat. In chapter 12, he tries to kill Ralph with the fire, which shows how he really wants the power and will stop at nothing, including killing, to obtain it. Also, he does not
Golding uses the leadership styles of the united states leader to represent how ralph leads the boys. Golding does not use a leader to represent Piggy, When Golding created the book he made it so that Piggy was an outcast but he knew what was right. Golding creates three main leaders in his novel Ralph, Jack, and Piggy but they did not become leaders by birth they became leaders through the circumstances they were put through, Ralph became leader by votes but
Curley assumes, due to his insecurity, that Lennie is laughing at him. He attacks Lennie to show that he is not afraid, and that he is a real man in control. Lennie is obviously the very biggest and strongest man at the ranch. To beat Lennie in a fight would give Curley a sense of self confidence and restore the fear he likes to hold over the men. 9.
He has become a very successful man. Douglas Spaulding our main character, was the one who threw the pants in the tree, even though all of the children were annoyed with the boy, he was the one who took action and did something. Even though it was a very mean thing to do, it suggests that either he was braver than the others were, or he was just dumber than the others. Since the early part of the story takes place in 1934, when the rules and discipline was much stricter, and he risked a lot of trouble, I think it was a very brave thing to do. However, Douglas becomes a mediocre man.
