Good Afternoon boys, you're all probably wondering what a girl is doing here on the island. Well, i was on the plane when it crashed and was surviving on my own. But i knew you were all young and in need of guidance. So I, being much much older than you, decided to keep an eye on you from afar...that was until I saw what you did last night, when you publicly murdered young simon. You all know he wasn't this ‘beast’ you’ve all been speaking of. Simon was a human being. He had feelings! You boys literally ripped him apart! What part of that action did you think was ok!? Did you even know what Simon came down to tell you!? Oh thats right, you didn't know because you tore away his flesh and left his body bloody and cold before he had the chance to speak. [By this time the crowd …show more content…
Look at the sky! This island might be hot and dry now but I think those are some rain clouds up there. [I say pointing to the sky] Also shelter would keep us safe from the wild pigs, who knows...they might get more hungry once the winter time approaches and crave more than just wild fruits and grass...they might try to sneak a bite at one of you! If we have shelter there's no chance they’ll get you. but , we better hurry before it’s too late. [worrisome looks crossed the faces of the youngest of the groups in reaction to imagining themselves as a hungry pig’s next meal] With a good plan to move forward and run an orderly society we must assign jobs and stay on track with the one main goal of survival. You may have heard of the phrase “survival of the fittest”? [a few head nods occurred in response from the crowd] I know british boys are fit for anything and everything life throws at them, I mean look at you all! So strong and independent at such a young age! [the boys seemed flattered] We have the opportunity to thrive and conquer the difficulties of this island. No burdens will stand in our way! [I
The boys grow more and more angry toward one another as well as less and less open to hearing other people's viewpoints or perspectives. This limited and unwillingness to take other perspectives worsens the island's conflict and bloodshed. Text evidence states "I'm not going to play any longer. Not with you."
Simon was the epitome of innocence, because he never wanted to hurt anyone. He also tried to be on everyone’s side and looked out for the rest of the group. He believed that everyone had the best intentions, and was intuitive to the other’s emotions. For example, after Piggy confronted Ralph, Ralph was embarrassed, so Simon tried to help by, “stroking Ralph’s arm shyly”(Golding 25). He wanted to let Ralph know that he thought he made the right choice and was willing to support him.
Lord of the Flies Essay Revision In the book, Lord of the Flies by WIlliam Golding, a group of young boys are stranded on an island all alone, which turns to have a horrible outcome- murder and savagery. Golding uses a variety of symbols to paint the picture of little boys turning savage, one symbol being ¨the beast¨. Throughout the use of the beast as a symbol of fear, as seen when the boy´s find a dead parachuter and confuse it with the beast, Golding suggests that every human has a beast in them, and humans are the only thing that should be feared. From the start, it was clear to see how rapidly the boys were starting to turn into savages on account of their fear of the beast. Piggy and Simon were the first to figure the puzzle out on page 84, during an assembly to discuss about the beast.
Notes from the Island Day 1: Today I found myself in a strange place, an island I suppose. I think the plane I was riding plane crashed and that’s how I ended up here. At first I was afraid that I was alone until I met another boy. Now that I think about it, he never told me his name. I’ll just continue calling this boy “Piggy”.
Do you see? You’re not wanted. Understand? We are going to have fun on the island! So don’t you try it on, my poor misguided boys or else.
I do not think we are aware of the savagery that our inner “beasts” are capable of. The boys do many things on the island that they never assume that they are able of. When the boys’ innocence is stripped of them from being stranded

This island has no adults, no civilization, and no rules, making it seemingly perfect for a group of young boys. The boys’ adventures are full of insanity, fun, and fear. The plot of this
Lastly “Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Bash her in.” (Golding, 1954, p. 75). All three of these quotes really show the large change the boys have made on the island, they started out as one big group with many rules, they make a huge transformation between killing pigs and eventually killing people.
The boys on the island are all very young. So naturally they have not matured yet and still had things to learn from society. But given the circumstances they are in they have to use the knowledge they have from
I miss my father; I wish I could talk to him right now. Last night our group decided to go to Jack’s feast and things went savage. My body has became more frail and eating that meat that night made my mouth water and all it made me think is I want more, I wanted to help hunt. While we were eating, the group and I were dancing and chanting to this chant, “Kill the beast! Cut his throat!
We cannot live on this island forever as you know. We don’t have food to eat, clean clothes to wear and clean water to drink. If we stay a little longer on this island, soon our life will be disconsolate. So, how about a compromise, you stop bullying me and let me guide everyone and you can still be a hunter who will hunt food, but I will be the one who decides who does what and Ralph will decide if it’s wrong or right. I hope we can be friends and work together and get rescued as quickly as
Him Him!" they all shouted. "Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!
“Bollocks to the rules. We’re strong-we hunt!” (pg. 91)Jack cries this out after having enough of Ralph’s reprimanding. The boys natural evil instincts start to appear the longer they remain on the island instead of their old home.
