While Jacks group only cared about getting food and have a good time on the island. As the boys slowly leave Ralph group and join Jacks it shows how less of the boys still care about being a civilized group. Soon it was only Ralph and Piggy who believed that they needed the conch and rules. When Ralph and Piggy went over to the feast with Jacks group Piggy tried to use the conch so he could say
However, by the end of the novel when the conch shell breaks at a confrontation between Jack and Ralp, this exemplifies the complete loss of order and democracy. Simon liked to have time by himself to avoid the bickering between the other boys. Simon found a clearing away from everyone else and eventually stumbled across the beast that everyone in the tribe was so terrified by. Simon ran to tell the tribe that the beast was just a dead parachutist. However, while Simon was trying to explain that the beast was not real he was mistaken for the beast.
This group of boys can choose to make whatever kind of society they want, and in the end they commit multiple murders and nearly destroy the entire island. None of the boys, except Piggy, is very interested in doing the smart things they need to do to keep from disintegrating into chaos; instead they do whatever they want. That does not disturb me because I can understand it. None of the boys hesitate to follow Jack, the man who wears face paint and gives them meat, despite the fact that he is not a particularly good person or an effective leader. The boys are lured (and later coerced) into becoming part of Jack's tribe.
PT: The boys all start to really want to go home, and then three boys went up to the mountain, and then they saw the beast, and ran back to camp. Chapter 8 1. Jack calls an assembly and says that Ralph is a coward like Piggy, Ralph doesn’t think the hunters are any good, and Jack declares that Ralph is not a proper chief (111-113). 2. Before Jack leaves the assembly, he is rejected and states that he is going out to his own tribe, and anyone who wants to join him may do so (113).
He attempts to kill it with his knife, but he resisted and the pig got away. Jack vows to kill without a doubt next time. Chapter 2: Ralph and the group return and hold another meeting. They announce that there are no grown-ups to be seen and they need hunters to find meat. As the meeting continue, Piggy raises concerns about not going to be rescued.
The war on the island is just a model of the larger war that is going on all over the world during the story. Conflict is first becomes apparent in chapter 1 when the boys voted for Ralph to be the leader of the group, Jack became very angry, jealous and rebellious. It is almost an internal conflict which just involves Jack at this point of the book. This foreshadows later events which could lead into the separation of the groups, Jack and his choir, Ralph and Piggy. The boys instantly trust Ralph since he brought the boys together and called and assembly.
In Order to preserve life, the trapper has to civilize the man-like beast and have nature reject him at the hand of a woman. To do this the trappers father sends him to Uruk to see Gilgamesh to "extol the strength of this wild man." (20) Gilgamesh and the trappers father felt they must tempt the beast with a "woman's power" (20) to "overpower this man" (20) to ensure their way of life. But in order for the trapper to do his job Enkidu has to become educated to the ways of this culture. "He fills in the pits which I dig and tears up my traps set for the game; he helps the beasts to escape and now they slip through my fingers".
Supertramp Into the wild is more morbidly fascinating than anything else. It is a journey into the psyche of a young man who, with seemingly all of the advantages that late Twentieth Century America can arm one with, decides to disappear into the flotsam of the country playing the part of an enlightened hobo (he takes the moniker 'Supertramp' as a way to christen his new identity). When I read I this book I was infuriated with Chris McCandless. It is normal to want to create a reality where it is you versus them. Who wants to work forty plus hours a week for a boss who would just as soon fire you so that he or she could keep their indoor pool heated during the winter?
In chapter one, Jack hesitates to stab and kill a piglet because he has never killed anything, and the barbaric act of cutting into a living creature was too overwhelming. Not only does Jack see this as a personal weakness, but he also is embarrassed by his hesitation and says “I was choosing a place.” His explanation that he was looking for a place to stab the piglet was false and everyone knew it was the unbearable blood stopping Jack from killing the creature; however, he vows that next time the pig won't get away. This vow opens the door to the savagery that will overtake him and many of the boys who want to satisfy their primal impulses. Clearly Jack does not start off as a monster, and he still remains in touch with civilization. Although, as the novel continues, Jack's trajectory gradually moves away from the formal, civilized way of life and steadily toward murder and brutality.
After the members of Ralph's tribe get killed, Ralph becomes next in line because he is the only one left. At the end, a rescue occurs by an adult who saw their fire, and the boys become children again. One thing the movie lacks are the boys finding each other when the conch is blown. Also when Jack is out looking to kill Ralf, the book talks about how anonymous boy found Ralph hiding but the movie shows how some boys find Ralph hiding but they do not rat him out. I think they did this to show more of a loyalty to Ralph.
