Lord Of The Flies-Personal Narrative
My eyes slammed shut, too afraid to peek at what I might find. I slowly start to open one eyelid, surprised to wake up with the rest of the boys. I realized that no time had passed since I left.
“I’M BACK!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, not being able to show how relieved I was.
I glanced around, looking for Simon, expecting him to come up behind me and give me a wedgie, but he wasn’t there.
“Do you know where Simon is?” I asked another boy.
“I haven’t seen him for awhile, I think he got adopted.”
“Pretty good for the rest of us, right?” he said.
“Yeah, I guess.”
Simon got adopted in this dimension but I am going to be the only one who really knows what happened.
A couple of weeks have passed with non stop nightmares. Nightmares about

    Although he is different from everybody else, Simon always manages to have high spirits and be hopeful. This is displayed with Simon’s mother and father. They go on not have a bit of concern with Simon at all but he never complains dealing with his parents to anyone. Another example is when the kids in his class would torment him and pass him around in class by lifting him up just because he was smaller but Simon was still kindhearted to everybody and respected others. The last occurrence when Simon is optimistic happens when is continually encouraging Joe to be joyful. Simon claims, “Your problem is that you have no faith.” Joe responds, “I got faith. I just need proof to back it up.” Joe is more of a pessimist and practical person therefore Simon is there hence he can cause Joe be further positive.…

He didn’t believe in anything, and he could laugh all he wanted, but she knew it was no coincidence that she had chosen to start again in Simon hell.

    A highly effective community is made up of people serving in different roles as a cohesive unit. If everyone has the same role, the community would not be as effective and productive as it is suppose to be. No one is perfect, meaning that everyone has their own strengths and weakness. For example, I am stronger in math, my strength and at times struggle in writing, my weakness. I believe that if we each use our strengths to improve on our weaknesses then, we ultimately make a community stronger as a shole. In the novel Lord of the Flies, William Golding uses symbolism, conflict and evolution to portray Ralph as an immature young boy who develops into a civilized young man against all odds .…

Around the 1700’s, two men named Hobbes and Locke had an intriguing conversation, “What are humans?”, “Were we meant to be savages?”, “What would ourselves be without laws?” These questions are yet to be answered by your own opinion. ‘The Lord of the Flies’ has many situations relating to the nature of humanity. The nature of humanity describes the characteristics such as society, influence and individuality.…
