Body Paragraph 1
TS- Golding’s writing foreshadows the savagery of Idi Amin through the behavior of the antagonist Jack in his novel, Lord of the Flies.

S2- Just as Jack gained popularity in the novel so did Amin, as he rose through the ranks, gaining fame and his greed for power lead to him executing a coup.
MI2- Furthermore, both Jack’s and Amin’s morals were debauched by the sway of power, leading to the savagery in their rulership. …show more content…
S2- Amin initially charmed the people who supported his coup, but after assuming power he shot all of his closest allies, to ensure that there was no competition for power.
MI3- Finally, the theme in Lord of the Flies that power corrupts, seems to correlate well with the cruel behavior displayed by Jack and Amin.
S1- Though Jack’s actions were not nearly as severe as those of Idi Amin’s, his display of untroubled dancing around Simon's corpse shows that he no longer cares for those around
