Jack feels the need to alter his appearance simply to please his developing savage tendencies. This demonstrates Jack’s willingness to kill on account of the fact that he feels inclined to become a new person, just to kill an animal. Consequently, this shows his loss of innocence because he is simply no longer just a choir boy. He is a cutthroat hunter and future leader of the tribe of children. Furthermore, Jack has changed so much, both physically and personality wise, that Ralph, a kid who he has gotten to know on the island, can barely recognize him: “A little boy who wore the remains of an extraordinary black cap on his red hair, who carried the remains of a pair of spectacles at his waist…” (80). This further emphasizes Jack’s change in appearance, which also alludes to his loss of innocence. Jack has now started to fully

Lastly, Jack is known as the rebel of the story who disagrees with the leaders, and is pure evil from middle to end. Although Jack is evil, his bad character trait ensures his survival and alliance with the boys. The first example of when Jack’s evilness is shown in the story is when Jack hunts the pig and puts its head on a stick, the line says “ Jack held the head up and jammed the soft throat down on the pointed end of the stick which pierced through into the mouth. He stood back and the head hung there, a little blood dribbling down the stick” ( Golding, 150). This shows Jack’s evilness because instead of fearing the beast he is offering him the head of the pig that he just brutally murdered. This shows evilness because all throughout the story the littluns and even some of the biguns were fearful of the beast, yet Jack has influenced them to help him offer it to the beast. This also shows evilness because some of the

“Where there are charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance” - Francis of Assisi. The book Lord of the Flies by William Golding is a novel about a group of boys being stuck on a deserted island. Without any adults, the boys face the ideals of society and realize the importance of civilization. Fear is defined as a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid. The book explores the theme of fear and it’s consequences when fear is not controlled. William Golding using Lord of the Flies reveals the impact and the effect fear has on humans and how it causes them to act irrationally, stray from civilization and commit

In “Lord Of The Flies” by William Golding, there are boys who are stranded on an island. These boys that are separated from society are shown to wear “masks”. I have created a mask that is like the character, Ralph, in “Lord Of The Flies”. It shows both my usual personality but also shows my real one. Most people wear masks and don't even know it. A mask shows and hides something you want to be or want to conceal. Sometimes a person takes off a mask and puts it back on. A mask has many uses that shows what a person wants to be, but also hides what a person’s real identity is.

Ralph is trying to get everyone on the island organized and they each would have a role but Jack wants to take over the island and rule it. The dictator in Jack becomes dominant in his personality during the panic over the beast sighting on the mountain. In trying to get Ralph impeached, he uses his rhetorical skills to twist Ralph's words. In defense, he offers to the group a rationale that "He'd never have got us meat," asserting that hunting skills make for an effective leader. Jack assigns a high value only to those who he finds useful or agreeable to his views and looks to silence those who do not please him. Denouncing the rules of order, Jack declares, "We don't need the conch any more. We know who ought to say things." He dictates to his hunters that they forget the beast and that they stop having

The complex idea that is shown with my mask is loss of innocence. Loss of innocence is shown in Lord of the Flies especially when the boys kill Simon, the only truly innocent one on the island. His whole time on the island, he knew that the other boys were the beast, the savage ones. He always knew that their innocence was lost. Another way loss of innocence is shown in Lord of the Flies is that as the boys were being rescued, Ralph cried for the first time and he cried for “the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy.” This quote shows how in the end, all innocence is lost for Ralph and the boys. They became fully animal and savage. My mask shows the loss of innocence by showing innocence being taken over by savagery through a human being taken over by an animal. I chose the peach color to look like a human, which symbolizes the innocence of the boys when they first arrived on the island. The fragments of animal fur show how the boys

“ I’m not going to be part of Ralph lot--.... I’m going off by myself. He can catch his own pigs. Anyone that wants to hunt when I do can come too.” said Jack

Is it right to leave behind what a person believes in order to join a safer group? In William Golding’s classic novel Lord of the Flies the characters Sam and Eric are very civil characters who makes the decision to “go with the flow” from the moment the plane crashes to the moment the boys are rescued. Throughout the book, these twins struggle to decide which of the two leaders to follow. In the end it seems that Samneric leave Ralph’s civil tribe and join Jack’s savage tribe. However, Samneric never change their beliefs. Golding uses characterization to suggest to the reader that it is acceptable for people to leave their morals and beliefs behind in order to join a safer group or fit in.

The Lord of the Flies by William Golding the beast an idea that one little boys created as a fear leads the boys to chaos and destruction. These boys who were once peaceful turn into savages who murder and torture their own. In the Lord of The flies the beast is more than it seems, the beast shows the violence hatred and evil in humans and alone on the island the boys not stranded by society rules turn to inner hatred within.

Simon’s role in Lord of the Flies is to resemble a Christ-like figure, when he eventually dies, the buried savagery in the boys is revealed. Simon is killed in a gruesome matter, which at the time the boys had “leapt on to beast, screamed, bit, struck, tore” (Golding 153). A group of children had decided to take it upon themselves to have a wonderful time tearing up another boy in the name of fun. The way in which the boys had killed Simon shows that they did not care whether or not they had weapons, the group had shown no mercy to the exhausted Simon. After Simon’s demise, two of the most innocent boys have a conversation of the previous night, that “‘It was an accident… He asked for it” (Golding 157). This quote shows that even the most

No matter how civilized humans, when they are taken away from society, they tend to return to their animalistic ways. Being away from civilization causes a person to inhibit certain characteristics or habits that lead them to become more savage. In The Lord of the Flies by William Golding, ack serves as a foil to Ralph which illustrates Golding’s theme that when humans are taken away from civilization, they are detremented to the effect of becoming savage and wild .

Throughout “Lord of the Flies” many of the characters seem to revert to a more primitive animalistic way of living. The reversion in the characters seems to be caused by a lack of civilization. During the sixth chapter, the uncivilized behavior of some of the boys becomes apparent when the conch, a tool used for calling order, is disregarded “‘conch, conch!’ shouted Jack. ‘We don’t need the conch anymore’”. Jack, like many of the other boys, doesn’t see a need for order. He believes that the boys would be fine as long as they have food, which thanks to him they do. In his opinion survival is what they should be focusing on, not order and rules. Ralph also realizes that his attempts at order were starting to fail, “‘...There’s too much talking out of turn; We can’t have proper assemblies if

Imagine being stranded on an island with nothing but little boys and pigs and no real sense of leadership and responsibility. That’s exactly what Lord of the Flies is. The hunger for power over other beings is a great way to destroy civilization and order as seen in Lord of the Flies. The struggle for being chief has torn two of the oldest and strongest characters apart. Their appearance, personality, and beliefs put them on opposite ends of the spectrum adding to the chaos enriched feud between Jack and Ralph.
