Lord of the Flies
Everybody always get asked the question of who will you take if you were stranded on an island but what about how will you react if you thought everything was fine until somebody dies, people turn against you, you lose your reason, and is almost hunted until you are dead? Well that’s how the theme of Lord of the Flies is.
William Golding, author of Lord of the Flies, uses young school boys to develop his theme. The theme he portrays in this particular book is how things affect the innocent and make them act ruthlessly all while under the influence of evil entities. By using children he demonstrates how scary how humans as race can be, how we do not care for others unless they are …show more content…
He just wants to enjoy his youth, make fun of stuff, to see everyone smile when they lost hope and do jokes but as the book carries on Ralph changes into the boy who was dupe. In the beginning of the book he befriends a boy named Piggy but thinks of him as slightly annoying. The two found a conch and used it to make sound thus making other boys who were stranded on the island appear. They talked for a bit, made Ralph the leader, and decided that they were going to have a good time on the island until somebody picked them up. “This is our island. It’s a good island. Until the grownups come to fetch us we’ll have fun.” Ralph said trying reassure that everything will be …show more content…
Ralph tried explaining that there were no adults and what happen but only ends up crying because of the trails and situations that he went though made him see people differently. He saw how we can kill people and how selfish we can be. In my conclusion, Ralph saw how that when there is a bigger force acting upon you, you are most likely going to go with the flow of the crowd to survive; making it scary because that same very force could be the evilness controlling what you do. By doing this, the boys became killers instead of just kids, making them grow up with completely different mindsets.
Finally, in my conclusion, William Golding completely changes how the boys were if compared to the beginning until the end. Simon and Piggy are dead and Ralph is no longer the innocent jokester he used to be. He grew up, he experienced death, betrayal, sadness, anger, fight or flight; things that you would typically go through as an adult which means in order to understand the things that were happening, he had to grow up mentally. He had to take reasonability and try his best to keep order so everybody could survive, making him grow wisdom more than he can
