Demonstrate how Lord of the Flies and Star Mandala represent understandings of change
A Chinese Philosopher once said ‘Change your thoughts and you change your world’
Today I will be talking about change within my novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding and my additional text, an artwork named ‘Star Mandala’. Star Mandala is used as a healing aid for victims of domestic violence, a cause of this is that many of the artists prefer to remain anonymous. In my visual, I represent the top part of the artwork to reflect many of the key themes of the novel Lord of the Flies.
The main difficulty of the novel is the conflict between oneself, their instinct to live by rules and the instinct to act violently to obtain power over others.
This conflict is named Civilization vs. Savagery. (1) Throughout the novel, Golding associates the instinct of civilization with good and the instinct of savagery with evil.
I represent this in my visual by showing the background of the, to the left ‘the evil’ (point) and to the right ‘the good’. (point) (2)
Another theme expressed in my visual is the Signal fire which burns to attract the notice of passing ships.
The signal fire becomes a symbol of the boy’s link to civilization. Early in the novel the boys keep the fire maintained which shows them wanting to be rescued. Later on the fire burns goes out, which shows that the boys have lost their desire to be rescued. (3)
I show this on the visual rep by having a smoke trail, which has a tint of blue to express the loss of hope. (point)
In Star Mandela there is a large star like figure which represents the Signal Fire, the artworks only sense of bright colour represented in the middle, showing the symbol of the boy’s link to civilisation. (point) While the rest of the artwork seems to be very dark, using the colour of blue to express the fearful and sad emotions of the boys on the island. (point)
The idea of loss of innocence is another theme using the artworks use of the colour blue. (4) The boy’s time on the island progress from well-behaved children, to
