The Lord Of The Flies Song Analysis Essay

Improved Essays
The song I chose to represent the book,”The Lord Of The Flies” was Fragile by Tech N9ne ft. Kendrick Lamar, ¡MAYDAY! & Kendall Morgan. This song is about a boy that is worried because he doesn't think the other kids will accept him because he plays the violin. In verse one of the song Wrekonize & ¡MAYDAY! talk about being so scared that the main kid of the music video stays up all night long, scared of tomorrow, and even breaks his alarm, then in the hook Wrekonize & Kendall Morgan talks about how he didn't think he’d be as fragile as he is. Which leads to verse two, where Tech N9ne speaks his mind about how he hates how people destroy people with gifts’ talents, while in verse three Kendrick Lamar speaks about how people criticize without …show more content…
This relates to piggie in as early as page 22 and 23 when the boys are deciding who should be chief. He doesn't say anything about how he should be chief because he himself is the one person on the island that knew how to blow the conch, then he told Ralph, When the boys saw that he is the one who blew it, they thought he was the smartest one and that almost immediately made the boys want him as chief. Which is close to the same reasoning as before, Tech states next,” they slam todays gifted” which relates physically to Piggy and Simon's deaths. Simon dies first by the bots “slamming” him with their fists, then Piggy dies by getting slammed with a boulder and it slamming his head which kills him. Then Tech also states,”People never do try to listen” which also relates to piggie. This relates to him on page 21 when Jack tells piggy,” Youre talking too much, Shut up fatty”. That is after piggy literally says 5 words, which goes to show Jack doesn't want to hear what he has to say, just because he is fat. Fourthly, states,” how you gonna criticize” this takes part also on page 21 when Jack also tells piggy,” Youre talking too much, Shut up fatty”. This text also means he thinks anything piggy say is irrelevant and whatever he says is not smart because he’s …show more content…
Jack is hoping that if he calls for a revote he'll be able to show ralph up because he assume that all of the boys will vote for him since he can provide food and protection. Then after that Kendrick says,” Grab a fishing pole and throw me with the sharks” that part relates to the littluns playing in the ocean. It relates to them because the older boys don't care if they get eaten by sharks by playing in the ocean and if they survive they will still take care of them. Which then Kendrick says,”This is more than you, and this is more than you” which relates to all of the boys, because at the beginning of the book they’re just a bunch of fancy british boys,then at the end of the book they are all savage and bloodthirsty. Finally, in the next line Kendrick says,” And your entire building slanderin’ and abusin’” this relates to Jack's tribe because they are so savage that they raid Ralph and his tribe, take piggy's glasses and all of their

    During the twentieth century, author William Golding produced one of the most groundbreaking novels of the era, “Lord of the Flies,” confronting the psychological aftermath of World War Two. Published in 1954, in the midst of crisis among the nation, Golding sets “Lord of the Flies” in the backdrop of an atomic war, in which a group of young boys deserted on an island, due to a plane crash, fear an imaginative creature they call “the beast.” Symbolizing fear, war and savagery of human nature, the children dread they are unable to escape the hauntings of the beast, initially appearing only in their nightmares, but now, externalized into a never-ending terror, ineluctable by the boys, no matter their age. Primarily, only the youngest of residents on the island believe the actuality of the beast, while the more mature children simply believe the little ones are speaking of demons exclusively in their nightmares.…

    Chapter Two: Physical and short-term Strength “Over the next few months it was his loving attention that was to keep me alive.” Like the previous chapter explained, it was the help of others that helped to keep Joey alive.

    I believe the song titled Just the Way You Are relates to the inner conflict in To Kill A Mockingbird. The inner conflict is when Atticus gets appointed to defend Tom Robinson in court and Atticus chooses to defend him willingly, and Scout in the beginning thinks very lightly on the situation and she doesn’t quite understand why Atticus is defending a colored person, she later realizes what Atticus is doing is right and she would like him to stay the way he is since he’s a great father. This song relates to the conflict because at the time she realizes Atticus is doing the right thing, it’s as if she’s the one writing the song and it’s directed to Atticus. The song includes very inspirational words and gives off an optimistic vibe which fits how Scout thinks of Atticus later on.…

    William Golding’s Lord of the Flies writes about the ideas of people’s personalities and the evil within the human heart. Set within an island, a group of young boys set out to survive and be rescued; however, it is later seen how the boys end up being wild and savage when they’re left without adult supervision. Golding depicts Simon as a scapegoat whose exceptional persona on an island of chaos and anarchy makes him a target for the stranded boys’ hatred/evil. Starting early on in the novel, Simon shows a caring, generous personality, which becomes a stigma that he is “unique” in comparison to the other boys. Even though the norm for the biguns on the beach was to ignore or not help the littluns; Simon was different in that, “Simon found…

    In the Lord of the Flies, William Golding uses figurative language at the beginning and end of chapters two and three to show the difference between Jack’s jungle and Simon’s jungle, and to illustrate that Jack’s jungle is chaotic, whereas Simon’s jungle is innocent. Since there is no adult figure on the island, the children first establish the leader of the group, which ended up being Ralph because he summoned everyone together by using a conch. Jack was immediately destroyed by the results of their election. To prove that he is worthy to stay on the island, his objective is to find and kill a pig to provide food for everyone. This drive to redeem himself created an isolation between him and everyone on the island.…

The environmental factor of being on the island without any type of adult leadership forced them to ‘grow up’ quickly and take care of…

    Music Composer for To Kill a Mockingbird • “Ultralight Beam” by Kanye West is the first song on this soundtrack. The second verse by Kelly Price talks about how “You persecute the weak / Because it makes you feel so strong,” similar to when Atticus talks about how Mayella is putting this man on trial so she doesn’t have to deal with the fact she kissed a black man. They both possess the mood of being somber. The song makes you feel as if there are problems that have been corrected and you finally feel free. The book, however, highlights the racial divide between whites and blacks.…

    You came sneaking up like a thief and stole Piggy’s glasses” (page 176)! In this scene, Ralph is aware of what is acceptable in society and knows that stealing is not moral so he criticizes Jack for his wrongdoing. On the other hand, Ralph acts with id-like moments in some scenes. An example would be when Piggy asked Ralph not to tell the other boys that “Piggy” was the nickname given to him by people back home. But Ralph disregards Piggy’s feelings and tells the boys…
