By analyzing Roger’s evolving characterization throughout the novel, Golding conveys the message that human beings must have rules, authority and government in order to maintain a stable environment. As Roger gains the feeling of superiority, he progressively becomes more violent and reveals his dark side.

His actions illustrate that without rules, order, government and authority, the boys on the island become disorderly and violent.

Burt and Brian Railsback also sees the Joad family, especially Tom, change as a result of their findings from this plight. Burt writes about the great meaning behind The Grapes of Wrath, and what the novel is trying to communicate. He says that Steinbeck successfully generated a universal meaning with “a direct statement of social protest asking only outraged indignation” (Burt). He argues that Steinbeck conveys that in trying to resist these injustices, one must provoke action and not just succumb to these forces.

In the justice and the wheels of history, the section goes into detail of how history and conflicts cycle and repeat, almost always in the name of justice. Great wars and battles occurred when the people involved readily claim their actions and motivations out of justice, and how it must be served out of an obligated sense of morality; this is illustrated in how we as people identify with being right and just out of suffering and privilege, and how said urge for justice is used in creating new rounds of conflict. Said sense of justice looks at how polarized group thinking could become, and how concern for justice affects loyalty and group bias. Using World War II and the Holocaust as a respectful and historical example of a tragedy, this is shown in how, in the rise to power, Adolf Hitler used the lingering but potent resentment

In Addition, he uses ethos, or emotional appeal to force the reader to think about what they believe is morally worse.

Bradbury supports his argument by using symbolism as well as an extreme case to demonstrate what could happen if humans are not cautious in their actions. Bradbury’s purpose is to warn humans of the possibilities of technology in order to in order to force people to consider the fact humans waste time with it and it ends up ripping people apart.
