    Chapter five of Lord of the Flies by William Golding is possibly my favorite chapter so far. It was easy to read, and it did not have any super intense vocabulary. The chapter also discussed many great parts of the story that were being pushed to the side to talk about other things. This discussion of leftover matters was brought together by Ralph’s assembly. As Ralph says in the beginning of the chapter, “This meeting must not be fun, but business” (65).…

    Brian Joseph Professor Harmon English 9-2 23 November 2017 Bad Happens to the Well-Intentioned Lord of The Flies embodies many themes, but none is so special as the one that related to me the most. In the 1954 novel, Lord of the Flies, author William Golding uses symbolism, dialogue, irony, and foreshadowing to illuminate the gloomy truth that people who have good intentions and follow what they believe to be right, especially when unpopular, will be misunderstood, misjudged, and sadly, punished. Ralph, Piggy, and Simon fall under the category of “well-intentioned people.”…

    “Simple peck-order bullying is only the beginning of the kind of hierarchical behavior that can lead to racism, sexism, ethnocentrism, classism, and all the other 'isms' that cause so much suffering in the world.” Octavia E. Butler. Everyone needs their “place” in society: leader, hunter, builder, or even follower and securing a place in society can often lead to conflict. The need for hierarchy is evident all throughout Lord of the Flies, a novel by William Golding about a group of British boys stranded alone on an island. The boys are able to form “social classes” by the end of chapter one by establishing dominance over one another, even if they had to do it through simple peck-order bullying.…

    While reading “The Lord of the Flies” by William Golding, I paid most of my attention to Simon. Simon is viewed as a much more confusing kid in the beginning. Simon starts getting more involved and not really known as the weird gay kid anymore. He had hung around with Ralph and Piggy helping out them while the others didn’t care. The author made Simon a much more like Christ-figure within the story; during Chapter 7 he tells Ralph that he will get back home.…

    In relation to human behavior, William Golding suggests that people follow what the majority of others around them are doing. On page ninety-one of Lord of the Flies, continuing onto page ninety-two (chapter five, Beasts From Water), there is a quote that relates to this idea ,“He gave a wild whoop and leapt down to the pale sand. At once, the platform was full of noise and excitement, scramblings, screams and laughter. The assembly shredded away and become a discursive and random scatter from the palms to the water and away among the beach, beyond night-sight”. This quote was at the point of the chapter where the boys (expect Ralph, Simon and Piggy) follow Jack because they think that it is the popular thing to do.…

One of these important objects is the conch, which symbolizes civilization and order. Through the escalating tension surrounding the conch, Golding demonstrates that civilization cannot be kept in order forever because of individual ideas. After the tragic plane crash that stranded a group of British boys on an island, something as simple as a shell is so appealing to two of these boys, Ralph and Piggy, before they even know what role it will play in their lives on the island.…
