Civil Vs Savagery

This picture is of Ralph and Jack who are two of the main characters in The Lord of the Flies. This picture shows the main theme of civil vs. savage. Ralph is civil because he wants to keep everything on the island the way he thinks it's supposed to be. He is also still in his school uniform because he thinks they should keep those clothes on because it is the civil thing to do. Ralph is holding the conch in his hands which is the item on the island that holds the most power. Eventually it loses its power when Jack and his tribe decide to not listen to it and when it breaks into a million tiny pieces. Jack is holding the stick because it shows that he likes to hunt, but he likes to hunt all of the time. He is the savage side of the island
