    The movie hints it when Jack is telling a scary story to the boys around the fire making everyone feel uneasy and tense, however, the author expresses that it comes from the imagination of the littleuns or the smallest kids in the group. The beast in the movie is mistaken by the littleuns when they stab Jack in the cave while in the book the twin stumbles upon it as they notices the dead parachuter in the tree. At the ending, a helicopter flies by close to the island but in the book a ship passes by and the Captain appears on the shore for the first time when Ralph stumbles upon…

    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.”…

    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.…

    People often hide under a mask of goodness to cover their true intentions, those of evil and deceit. Once an individual’s disguise is destroyed by one’s reality, another can clearly see through one’s disguise and see who one truly is. In Lord of the Flies, William Golding proves the bitter reality of a world under the disguise of goodness; he emphasizes the darkness and evil of mankind through an island that alludes to the real world. Simon is developed as a Christ figure and one who is too utopic in contrast to the savage and evil of the boys, who are the opposite of a Christ figure. Simon’s death represents the destruction of a utopian character by reality, as the boy’s true savagery is the cause of Simon’s death.…
