Greg Heffley is a preteen boy and is the narrator of the diary. Greg's main goal is to work through his best friend, Rowley, having a girlfriend and not hanging around anymore. Friendship and loyalty is very vital to Greg, so the fact that his best friend has abandoned him is an extremely significant occasion in his life.

Dialectical Journal For Lord Of The Flies
715 Words | 3 PagesProgressing through the novel and uncovering unexpected events and surprises kept me on my toes, anxiously. On the last note when I engaged metacognitively, I used my imagination to think outside of the box.

For example when I was studying with a classmate, we both concluded that in the last chapter Ralph represents the only common sense, sanity or rationality left in the island while the rest represent hatred and irrational concepts. Throughout our society, hatred and irrational concepts(presented by opposing individuals) are often seen chasing out common sense, sanity, or rationality, similarly to how Jack and his tribe hunts and chases Ralph--even though Ralph only seeks to share the fire to start a rescue signal--without a rational reason.
