    Mistreating the Situation In William Golding’s Lord of The Flies he demonstrates how the boys put themselves in a situation where they act childish, when they should be very serious. D. David Wilson’s criticism “A Study of ‘Game Metaphor’ in Golding’s Lord of The Flies”, gives a new way to look at Golding’s book, of how the children act like they are in a game. Wilson mentions how the boy’s minds don’t focus on surviving and escaping the island, but trying to impress each other to gain leadership and power. Wilson says that the boys hunt, and abuse each other and animals for joy and excitement. He also says that they hunt and do other activities as a legitimate outlet of their aggression.…

    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.…

    The Lord of the Flies Opinion Essay The copper face glimmered with a thin layer of soil, sweat, his bronze skin turned to a scarlet and his rough voice bellowed with rage as he swore to hunt the animals of the island, illustrated the carefree environment, he would have, and hypnotized the listeners with his audacity as he persuaded them that he would slay their beast. A good leader must have something to enchant his followers, and Jack had his persuasion in killing the beast. I agree with the statement, “A good leader must have charisma,” because in the Lord of the Flies Jack earned the respect of the boys’ and became their leader by convincing them that he would provide meat, fun, and safety from killing the beast. Jack gained admiration from the boys’ and took Ralph's place when he coaxed them that he would provide meat with the help of his hunters.…
