reason. Throughout the book, Golding uses indirect and direct characterization to develop this symbol. There are many symbols that are developed throughout the novel. The beast is a symbol in the book, and it developed as a symbol. The beast is a symbol of the evil and fear in all of us. This figure was first mentioned when the boy with the mulberry mark spoke at an assembly about a “beastie” or “snake-thing”. This theory was squashed…

William was inspired to write Lord of the flies while teaching a group of boys who of course acted as boys would by causing trouble and getting into fights and such. For a while, Golding left his profession to fight in the Navy due to his love for the sea and boats. After serving in the navy and seeing the darker sides of the world,…

Ralph, who is a natural leader himself, appoints a hostile boy named Jack to hunt for the group.

In William Golding's Lord of the Flies, the boys who are stranded on the island come in contact with many things that symbolize ideas. Through the use of symbols such as the beast, the island, Simon and Piggy’s specs. These symbols represent that humans when freed from society's rules allows their natural desire for evil to dominate their personality. One of the symbols throughout the story was the beast. In the minds of many of the boys, the beast is a source of evil on the island. However, it…

a group of boys was mistakenly dropped on an isolated island off of an airplane left with no source of authority at all. While they all battled through man versus self conflicts in the book, along came a thing in the that they all feared. They called it a beast. Just about all of the boys believed that this “beast” was a real “snake like” thing, but only one came to a realization of what it really was.

audacity as he persuaded them that he would slay their beast. A good leader must have something to enchant his followers, and Jack had his persuasion in killing the beast. I agree with the statement, “A good leader must have charisma,” because in the Lord of the Flies Jack earned the respect of the boys’ and became their leader by convincing them that he would provide meat, fun, and safety from killing the beast. Jack gained admiration from the boys’ and took Ralph's place when he coaxed…

“Civilization versus Savagery” and “The Beast Within us All” I chose these two themes because they are the main, overarching themes of the book. The theme “Civilization versus Savagery” is exhibited in my poster by the the crumbling cliff falling into savagery. My other theme “The Beast Within us All” can be found portrayed in my poster as how EVERYONE can fall into the path of savagery, everyone can crumble and reveal the beast within. On my poster, the main image is the boy falling down off…
