Alternate Ending To Lord Of The Flies

325 Words2 Pages

The trumpet like sound of the conch bursted through the jungle. As soon as I heard it I rushed towards the meeting place. A few boys were already there, but many still had to come. Over the course of 10 minutes almost all of the boys had shown up. When the group became quiet, Ralph explained how we needed to become more organized and that we needed rules. A small boy told us about a “beastie” he saw, but I didn’t think anything of it. The meeting went on for a little longer, and towards the end Ralph mentioned how we should make a fire. As soon as he said that, the boys ran like a stampede. We gathered heaps of wood and soon realized we didn’t have a fire to burn the wood in. Some boys tried to rub sticks together, but that didn’t work.

    The Retrogression into a Savage-Like State Throughout Lord of the Flies, Golding illustrates a viewpoint many have labeled unlikely or impractical. He argues that all of mankind is capable of a behavior unlike society’s belief of normal human conduct. Society could truly be capable of retrogression into a savage-like state. Although the young boys in the novel are perceived as being the embodiment of innocence, their stay on the island depicts exactly how capable they are of such behavior. The novel paints a story that holds a deeper meaning than what the words on the page are attempting to reveal to the reader.
