Civilization vs, Savagery
Most of the story, in Lord of the Flies is based on kids trying to remain civilized, sane, and in order but every day they come close to becoming savage.
Effects on the characters Ralph is trying his best to keep everything and everyone civilized by having rules and role by having other people in groups do things like hunting, building, fire signal, e.t.c.
Jack is in control of himself in the early part of the story but then gradually loses himself mostly when he hunts then comes back with nothing. Jack in the first part of the story kept saying they should call him by his last name (Merredew) as a sign as respect and importance. Later on in the story Jack becomes extremely ambitious about being the better chief than Ralph could ever be. …show more content…
Because of this Jack is abhors Ralph and runs away in tears on the farther side of the island, then he invites the other kids to come over and have meat and fun.
Jack tends to go hunting a lot more after that which mostly makes his behavior a distant level of savagery by the way he kills the Sow they find. After a time of Jack killing the sow, Jack calls the kids to do their “Dance”. The kids start to form a circle yelling “kill the beast! Cut its throat! Do him! In” at something the middle of the circle. As the dance continued “The beast” Stumbled out of the circle trying to get away from the savages, but the savages pounced on the beast once again, stabbing, screaming, striking, and tore at the beast. Showing this that the Kids turned into savages and have to civilization left in them, following no rules, no plans on getting rescued of the island. The kids are mostly focused on killing and having their version of fun, turning their sanity into insanity making them
savages.
What the Author is trying to show in the story.
I believe that the author is trying to show me that even as kids we can lose our civilization/sanity really quick and give up hope of being rescued. Even if you lost hope you can still give an effort to what you want most and pursue it. Another message that I think the Author is also trying to prove is that still keep some civilization if you crash on a deserted island, and keep everyone in line for as long as you can before something really Nefarious occurs.
CONCLUSION
Ralph tries to keep the title of chief but, Jack disagrees and runs of with a lot of other boys on the far side of the island, Jack only wants people in his so called “Tribe” to only have kids that would like to have no rules but have meat, fun, sport, E.t.c. Ralph with only Piggy and SamnEric with him keep trying to make a smoke signal out of what they have. While Ralph is trying to make a smoke signal, Jack has his tribe go out and hunt for some pigs for sport to offer a tribute to the beast. Resulting in all of this Simon is experiencing a harrowing and is later on treated like the beast and is killed just for the new tribe of savages entertainment.
