In the novel Lord of the Flies, William Golding
portrays Piggy as an insightful, perceptive and
conversant young boy. The boys on the island
ridicule him because of his appearance, calling
him "fatty" (23) and constantly referring to him

Young Boys Good Leader
907 words
Freedom. Fear. Confusion. All are elements in the
minds of a group of young boys who are stranded on
a beautiful tropical island. There are no rules,
no parents, and no type of authority. Golding's
Lord of the Flies is a clever representation of
the two conflicting social orders, democracy and
dictatorship. He displays the conflict through a
carefully planned thought-experiment between the
relationships of the young boys, especially the
conflicting attitudes of Ralph and Jack. Ralph
went beyond ...

One Of The Most Important Jacks Group
728 words
William Golding's novel, the Lord of the Flies, is
full of things symbolizing and representing our
modern day society and its struggles to maintain
stability. Although it is difficult to pick only
three symbols, as the most important ones, I
believe one would be Ralph. Jack and the beast
would be my other choices. Together, the three
basically represent the world in which we live in.
Ralph definitely is one of the most important of
the symbols in the book. He was the representative
of civilizati...

The Demons Inside Latent in every man, there
resides a demonic force. This so-called force is
generally kept in check by the rational part of
human nature, but in the absence of reason or
social pressure, it breaks out in barbaric
bloodletting. William Golding said this and
displayed his beliefs in his novel, The Lord of

Ralph And Jack Killed A Pig

Normally, when we think of worlds, the planet
Earth comes to mind. What we don t often remember
is that the word world can mean more than the
Earth. Webster s New World Dictionary states that
the true definition of the word world is, some
part of the earth, or an individual experience,
outlook... Keeping that definition in mind, it is
true to say that the boys in Lord of the Flies
were in their own world, so to speak. And it is
also true that every world has its problems. A

What has principally interested you in your study
of Lord of the Flies so far? (Having read up to
page 47) Firstly, I intend to explain why, over
anything else, Golding s reflection of the
macrocosm within a microcosm has particularly
intrigued me. I also hope to convey my interest in
the way many of the large factors in this novel
are intertwined with others (often ironic) for
example, that the paradise the boys seek to create
becomes simply a replication of the warring,
chaotic world they emer...

Civilization On The Island Castle Rock Ralph

In the Lord of the Flies, Jack and Ralph struggle
for power on the island. One supports savagery and
dictatorship, and the other struggles to keep
civilization and democracy. Ralph and his foil,
Jack engage in arguments and competition for
power, which makes up the main conflict of this
novel. There was the brilliant world of hunting,
tactics, fierce exhilaration, skill; and there was
the world of belonging and baffled common sense.

world, Ralph nat...
