Game of Life (LOF) symbolise
I once saw a movie about a man and his wife. They were stranded on a desert island. Together, alone, full moon and stars everywhere. Sounds romantic right? Wrong, no cooked food, fruit everyday, no hope for rescue or anyway to let anyone know where they were. Not so romantic, just deadly. Now, put a bunch of young kids on an island. Alone, no responsibility, no rules, sounds like fun and games. This game turns into the game of their life. It doesn't turn out very well for anyone but without Piggy's glasses it is the last game any of these boys will ever play. In William Golding's Lord of the Flies Piggy's glasses are a symbol of hope for rescue because they provide fire for survival, the smoke signal and represent Piggy's insight. On area the glasses symbolize rescue is they make the fire so the boys can develop a smoke signal for passing ships to see. The boys have no radios, there aren't any cell phones, and they have no way to inform the rest of the world of their position on this huge planet. Then it hits them, " We can help them find us. If a ship comes near the island they may not notice us. So we must make smoke on top of the mountain. We must make a fire." (38) This is the first great idea they have
Piggy is a pretty sensitive guy who takes orders and doesn't get much respect. The boys in Lord Of The Flies have a total lack of hope for rescue except for Piggy's glasses. You can come eat with us if you like. Piggy's specs are not only a necessity to the boys, but also to the reader. Which is better, law and rescue, or hunting and breaking things up?" ( )Piggy doesn't have his glasses and he is blind; people are throwing rocks at him, but they cant still can't quite the voice of Piggy, the insight and voice of a leader. Which is better- to have rules and agree or to hunt and kill?. All because of a small common goal made possible by Piggy's specs. Fire is a necessity for these boys, and without Piggy's glasses they will be completely lost.
