Then, I will tell you what it means, in our society we actually have two worlds, where the first one is the ‘real world’ and the second one is the ‘fiction’ or rather, its the ‘imagination world’, which everyone has in their minds.

After all, we’re not savages. We’re English, and the English are the best at everything. So we’ve got to do the right things’” (42). what does he really mean and does he really mean it that way? Or does he have a certain point to reach? When Jack began making up some rules, he was kind of harsh at piggy as well, because piggy was bothersome about the conch and how they all ignored him as if he was a ‘littlun’.. “‘I got the conch,” said Piggy indignantly. “You let me speak!”.. “The conch doesn’t count on top of the mountain,” said Jack, “So you shut up!”..“I got the conch in my hand.” …”I got the conch-, Jack tuned fiercely. “You shut up!”’ …show more content…
Where they all were innocent and then they changed little by little until becoming a whole savage. Before Simon's death, in the last bit of chapter 8, it best describes the title of the book and why was it named like that. When Simon started first talking to the ‘Lord of the Flies’, he thought that he was actually talking about it, but it really wasn’t, or was it? When Simon’s.. ‘..body was arched and stiff. The Lord of the Flies spoke in the voice of a schoolmaster. “This has gone quite far enough…” There was a pause. “I’m warning you. I’m going to get angry…” Simon found he was looking into a vast mouth.. . “-Or else,” said the Lord of the Flies, “we shall do you? See? Jack and Roger and Maurice and Robert and Bill and Piggy and Ralph. Do you. See?” Simon was inside the mouth. He fell down and lost consciousness’ (142-145). For what I also see, as a reader, Golding was developing a very important and meaningful points. Golding gave us many hints and thoughts throughout the story, but mostly in every chapter, as you can tell, he gave much different new thought than the other, and that's best describes as a ‘grabber’ or mostly, ‘forecasting’. Which is a very good thing for a readers

    Brian Joseph Professor Harmon English 9-2 23 November 2017 Bad Happens to the Well-Intentioned Lord of The Flies embodies many themes, but none is so special as the one that related to me the most. In the 1954 novel, Lord of the Flies, author William Golding uses symbolism, dialogue, irony, and foreshadowing to illuminate the gloomy truth that people who have good intentions and follow what they believe to be right, especially when unpopular, will be misunderstood, misjudged, and sadly, punished. Ralph, Piggy, and Simon fall under the category of “well-intentioned people.”…

    People often hide under a mask of goodness to cover their true intentions, those of evil and deceit. Once an individual’s disguise is destroyed by one’s reality, another can clearly see through one’s disguise and see who one truly is. In Lord of the Flies, William Golding proves the bitter reality of a world under the disguise of goodness; he emphasizes the darkness and evil of mankind through an island that alludes to the real world. Simon is developed as a Christ figure and one who is too utopic in contrast to the savage and evil of the boys, who are the opposite of a Christ figure. Simon’s death represents the destruction of a utopian character by reality, as the boy’s true savagery is the cause of Simon’s death.…

Lord of the Flies presents innocence as a beautiful lie, and with the loss of that innocence comes the painful truth of the world in which Golding uses the setting, characters, and symbols to convey this meaning.…

    In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, conflict - both internal and external - portrays a major development in the theme and plot of the young boys in this novel. On an island composed of only pre-adolescent boys, it is unquestionable that there would be conflict amongst them. Golding blatantly shows the reader the external conflicts that occur between one another, including both physical and verbal altercations. The author also cryptically gives the reader a display of the conflict the boys struggle with within themselves and their own thoughts. Despite the many instances of external conflict, the subtle internal conflicts are much more critical to the plot and overall theme of Lord of the Flies.…
