Simon says

the book. Such as Jack who most people, including himself, think he is doing good for everyone, but he is really going insane and becomes a dictator. Even Piggy changed from the beginning the same way Simon did. They become more outgoing towards the end of the book and had the same fate. When Simon tries to tell the boys about the ‘beast’ they kill him, thinking he is the beast, and when Piggy tries to reason with the boys he gets killed by the rock. The last chapter of the book shows the end of…

Fear is only as deep as the mind allows and believing in it strong enough can make it come alive. World War II veteran and author William Golding wrote one of the most influential novels of the 20th century based on his experiences in the war and his realizations about the horrifying evil the man is capable of. The Lord of the Flies is a translation of a Hebrew name for the devil also known as “Beelzebub”. The novel is an allegory to represent the world as a whole during war time, specifically…

Therefore, the evident difference between the objects is that the pig’s head brings Simon to temptation whereas the volleyball keeps Chuck from going insane due to isolation. Lastly, the protagonists in the novel and the film develop morals that allow them to change over time during the process of finding possible ways to get back to…

Which is similar to what they were fighting for in the war, to free the Jews and give them a voice. In the book the conch represents a way for people the speak freely and to give each person a say in the government, in which it did . The purpose of the conch was for people to give their say in what’s happening at the island. Whenever Piggy tried to speak but using the conch Jack would interpret. Which also sort of ties into my last paragraph about how Piggy which has a character parallel…

Clary hadn’t actually known that Jace had loved her, so she was sort of oblivious to the whole idea of love at first. Afterword, it seemed as if Clary sort of pushed Simon away when he told her that Jace loved her. The thing is, she didn’t do it because she loved Jace and wanted to spend time with him more, but it was because she loved Simon to much to hurt him. I got this same impression of the main idea out of another scene; a possible scene that shows the main theme between two different…

everyone on the island together. It quiets everyone down and only those holding it can talk. Ralph is like democracy in the fact that he uses the conch to vote himself to leader. The boys at the beginning know that they should have rules. Jack even says it, " 'We 've got to have rules and obey them. After all, we 're not savages. We 're English, and the English are best at everything. '" (Golding,40) Even though they know it when they first crashed eventually instinct takes over and the beast…

tune where I can “bob” my head to it. The song holds meaning. It is about becoming aware of your surroundings, which I can easily associate myself with. I have always been drawn to lyrics that make me self-aware. The Paul Simon Graceland Controversy was about how Paul Simon was going against the apartheid boycott. However, in his mind, he was still protesting against apartheid because he hired black musicians or artist to perform with him. The people of South Africa did not see it that way.…

A representation of the boys personalities can be seen by the quote, ‘“I’m frightened of us. Want to go home”’(57). Ralph, who represents leadership and order, says this as he realizes that each of them took part in killing an innocent thing, which turned out to be Simon. This shows that the boys’ savage instincts are making each of them behave like beasts. Ralph is ‘frightened’ by the fact that the boys had the ability within them to kill an innocent human being…

The shared characteristics of a democracy and Ralph include citizen rule, majority rule and minority rights, freedom of speech, fairness and equality. Citizen rule is the right of citizens to elect their representatives. Page 18 says, “The clamor changed from the general wish for a chief to an election by acclaim of Ralph himself.” Ralph gains power by an election, using citizen rule. The majority rule and minority rights is the rule that the majority will decide a group’s representative…

stories being told, one of Jeanne and one of her mother, and scenes often time-hop when changing stories. If only Jeanne’s story is followed, the Freytag’s triangle fits her journey well, as explained below: a. The inciting incident is when Jeanne and Simon are presented with letters from their mother and instructions of whom they are addressed to, leading them to their lost father and unknown…
