Lord of the Flies7
"The two boys faced each other. There was the brilliant world ofhunting, tactics, fierce exhilaration, skill; and there was world oflonging and baffled common-sense." A quote showing the two main contrastsof the story. Savageness, and civilization. This, is the Lord of the Flies,a book written by William Golding. The Lord of the Flies has someinteresting and deep thoughts, pertaining to the theme, plot, characters,and setting in this novel. William Golding did not just start writing abook; he took his time and worked out every little matter, to make sure thebook was entertaining, and most of all, did not bore the reader. The Lord of the Flies begins with about 20 pre-adolescent boys who areon an airplane, and the airplane crashes on an uninhabited coral island inthe Pacific. The airplane crew has been killed, and the boys are left ontheir own. They start to collect themselves into a society of foodgatherers under an elected chief, Ralph. Ralph is about 12 years old, andhas a very sensible, and logical personality. At first, the boys createduties to follow, and they live amicably in peace. Soon however, differences arise as to their priorit
If the reader found this specific worldfilled with people who do not talk or act in the ways that he or she isused to, he or she may decide that the characters are unbelievable, andunreal. This problem is come acrossed so minutelyin the story, that many people will even overlook it. There can beno happy solution to the problems of man's society because the naturaldefects of human nature shape the future after their own imperfections. Somepeople may have thought that this ending might have been too abrubt, butactually, it was supposed to symbolize a sort of scenario such as a countryin the state of anarchy. Thisrepresents the dog chase at the end of the story. He goes to thehunting group, and before he can say anything, they kill him by accident. Another scenario it may be afight at school. The evil force was madeto be predominant over a good force. Golding also uses suspense in this story, with the beast as a shadycharacter, plot twists, and unanswered questions at the beginning like,"Will they be able to make contact with other human beings?", or "Will theybe able to keep the group and human rationality together?" Another verygood example of suspense is when the pig's head (the Lord of the Flies)begins talking with Simon. The best one would be when Simon dies, 'Somewhere overthe darkened curve of the world, the sun and moon were pulling; and thefilm of water on the earth was held. Onesmaller meaning may be the terms of fear, and what it does to people. Another good point that Golding established is that he didn't createthe two forces to be equal forces. Piggy is later killed by Jack when he accused Jack of stealling his glasses,which Jack did do. Don't you understand? Can't you seewe ought to--- we ought to die before we let that fire go out?!" Golding's style of writing this book was exceptionally good, and mostof all, different.
