Dove 1 What would happen to you if you were stranded on an island with no conveniences, no supervision, with a beast that haunts you? In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, a group of young boys from a British boarding school plane crash on an island with no adult supervision and are forced to fend for themselves. Lord of the Flies illustrates that people without the influence of society return back to their primitive nature through characters, symbols, and conflict. First, Golding proves the theme that innocence will be lost when true human nature shows itself through characters. In the beginning of the novel, Ralph is logical and all about being rescued.
In the movie "Lord of the Flies," there is an excessive amount of contrasts with the book. The basic plot of the movie begins with the boys ending up on a deserted island after a plane crash. They elect Ralph as the leader of the "tribe" and little by little, the boys settle down. This order made by Ralph angers Jack, the chief hunter, and he rebels with his own tribe. After this, everything goes downhill and they become savages except for Ralph's tribe.
When they gather around for the first time after Ralph summons them, he declares “We’ll have rules…lots of rules! Then when anyone breaks ‘em-.” (Golding 33). The boys are excited to have rules; they are comforted by this thought, even Jack, who is in obvious competition with Ralph to become chief from the very start. They are welcoming to the thought of punishment if rules are broken, because this is how they function in their civilized lives. When Jack finds out there are animals on the island, he wants to hunt them.
The book Lord of the Flies by William Golding tells the perplexing story of a society created amongst a group of young British boys whose plane crashes on an island after attempting to flee the country during World War II. Additionally, there are no adults to keep these boys in check. For this reason, they make an effort to govern themselves by making Ralph “chief”. However, this backfires because another boy, Jack, longs for power. As a result, what had once been only one society later evolves into two disparate societies, allowing each person’s true inner nature to emerge as the struggle for power continues.
He thinks of building shelters to protect them and to start a fire for their rescue. He becomes friend with Piggy, the fat boy that receives taunts and teases from the other boy, and gets used to rely on Piggy's intellectual reasoning. Ralph is brave when the occasion presents it, but he really miss for the secure world of adults, especially when order starts to break down on the island. He dreams about a rescue and insists that the signal fire always has to burn so that they can be seen. Ralph considers that the main reason for the disorder on the island is Jack, the antagonist and representation of evil in the novel.
In Lord of the Flies, a novel by William Golding, a group of young English boys crash land their plane on an uncharted island during World War II. The boys attempt to create an organized society, but it deteriorates as their primal, savage instincts start to consume them. Seemingly irrelevant objects actually represent significant concepts. When freed from the bonds and expectations of society, their true human nature reveals itself. The beast, the conch shell, and the signal fire all epitomize this theme.
Choose two events in Lord of the Flies which you consider to be important. Write about the significance of these events and how Golding presents them. There are many significant events in the novel Lord of the Flies, but two that are particularity monumental are the election of the leader (Ralph) and the murder of Simon by the savage boys. The novel opens with the reader understanding that the boys are marooned on a remote island and that they have no adults to supervise or direct them. Cleverly, Golding alerts the reader to the boys need for authority and direction through the character of Piggy.
Piggy, for example, represents physical weakness and mental strength, Jack's role in " Lord of the Flies" is to show transition from the opposite perspective. The glasses, however, help illustrate his intellectual strength, his ability to think situations over logically and use reason. In the middle of the war an airplane carrying school boys crashes over a tropic island. Two of the boys, Ralph and Piggy find a conch and using it as a horn gather the rest of the survivors. Ralph is used as a leader.
You’ve made a big heap haven’t you?” Jack pointed suddenly. “His specs- use them as burning glasses!” (Page 40) As we see in the beginning of the story, Piggy becomes an impact on someone’s life. Ralph and Piggy meet each other after the plane crash and realize they have to bring the boys together for a meeting. Piggy becomes Ralph’s advisor and best friend while they are on the island. When Piggy dies, Ralph feels like a part of him is missing when he makes decisions and creates thoughts.
