    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.”…

The title of chapter 2 is “Fire on the Mountain”. Out of context, fire is denoted as a state, process, or instance of combustion in which fuel or other material is ignited and combined with oxygen, giving off light, heat, and flame. Light, heat and flame are all very good things to help a society, however, it is given a negative connotation with the combination of being on a mountain.…

    Zion Laoo William Golding’s novel, Lord of the Flies, is about the struggle of applying order, leadership, and civilization when there is no higher order to answer to. At a young age children learn the basic rule of being a good citizen by learning the difference between what is right and what is wrong. Robert Fulgham’s points out this early development of order in his poem, “Everything I Ever Learned I Learned in Kindergarten.” Fulgham’s poem points out that we learn to clean up our own mess, don’t take things that aren’t yours, and say you’re sorry when you hurt someone in Kindergarten.
