Lord of the Flies Essay In the Lord of the flies, this story starts out as just young kids who end up in a sticky situation that forces them to be grownups. Although they didn’t know what they were doing and how they were going to get home, all the boys had made a pact to still be free and have fun as young ones would do. There were multiple children on this island searching for help, but I had paid close attention to what Piggy had been going through while everything was going down. In the beginning of the book Lord of the Flies Piggy would be considered an outsider. “I don't care what you call me so long as it's not what they used to call me in school.
The boys aren’t mature enough to realize that they are stuck on an island, nobody knows where they are, and they are probably going to die there. All the boys other than Ralph, Piggy, and Simon are completely oblivious to the fact that they need to be rescued, or they will die. All the others care about is having fun, hunting, and acting like a little tribe of savages. Hunting is what’s most important to most of the boys. If Jack and his hunters would have been taking care of all of their responsibilities instead of just hunting all day, if they would have just been watching the fire they could have gotten off the island before anybody could get hurt, before it was a game of life and death.

Chuck from Cast Away also needed to learn to adapt to his new lifestyle living alone on the island.
Psychology is seeing behavior and mental processes from multiple view points. It can be analyzed by Sigmund Freud’s ideas which are id, ego and superego. All these can be found in the book, Lord of the Flies by William Golding. The book is about a group of British boys stuck on a deserted island who try to govern themselves, with disastrous results. They needed someone to lead, so two boys, Jack and Ralph, had been voted by the other kids to lead the two separated groups, which were created by the boys themselves.
In The Power of One, although Hoppie influences Peekay for a short amount of time, he turns Peekay’s life around and leads him to his greatest passion, boxing. Hoppie realizes that Peekay’s brokenness and depression is caused by the kids at school who bully him for being a rooinek, and he shows Peekay compassion and kindness. Without Hoppie Peekay may have never been introduced to boxing or be proud to be a rooinek. With the loss of Granpa Chook fresh in his head, Peekay reaches his lowest point. He tries to camouflage himself so he does not stand out as a rooinek because the kids at school bully and discriminate against him because of his English heritage.
At the beginning of the novel all of the children base their actions on rules that their fellow English men would follow, and in order to make these rules significant the children would use the conch as a symbol of authority. Sadly, the power the shell holds decreases as the boys’ savagery increases. It gets to the point where the conch becomes an ordinary shell, much like any other, and is destroyed by a boulder. “…the conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist,” (Golding 181). In the end the conch shell was so meaningless that not one of the stranded boys cared for its lost.

But when the days went by, Jack had lost his patience and being pessimistic about no one will find them and had put all the kids against Piggy, Simon, and Ralph. As Jack grew stronger, he became a savage including the littleluns. The start of story, the boys brought them to a plane crash in an island.
