Traditional heroes grace the covers of comic books, the posters for films, and come to mind first when the word hero is mentioned. Traditional heroes are the Supermen of the world, the ones who are larger than life and embody every perfect trait everyone should aspire to have.

In the beginning, even Jack was hesitant to kill a pig, but toward the end there is no hesitation in the boys to kill, whether it was a pig or human. The violent way that they killed pigs to the murder of Piggy shows this, opting for killing rather than peace and taking joy in causing pain.

In the novel, “Lord of the Flies”, young disciplined british schoolboys with good morals go through a dramatic transformation and start living a wild, brutal and barbaric life on a deserted jungle island.

They also made a movie of this with the say title of course but you might, think if you have read the book and seen the movie, yes there are similarities but there are also differences and that the movie and the book are the same but they are actually not. There is one character that I would like to focus on, a young boy named Piggy. In the movie and the book…

William Golding creates an interestingly dystopian tale showcasing the very worst of humanity in Lord of the Flies, a novel about a crowd of young boys who end up stranded on a deserted island. Roger, one of these boys,…
