Chapter 13 Sequel After a few minutes of sobbing, the boys got themselves together and began looking at each other. Everyone was silent until the naval officer came back to where the barbaric boys were standing.
“Chief Ralph,” said the officer, “Tell everyone to come abroad.”
Before, Ralph could turn around to tell them, a huge wave crashed on to the beach. The tide was fairly high that particular day. Once the tide went back out, two small figures lay washed up in the sand a few yards away. Everyone was curious, so the naval officer began to walk towards the figures. He slowly bent down to examine the figures. He looked up with a blank look on his face and waved the boys over. There, right in front of them was the two dead bodies of Piggy and Simon. The little boy was right about there being a sea monster. The monster gave back the sacrifices to server justice.
“Please explain these,” the officer demanded in a low, stern voice.
It looked as if Jack and Rodger got the wind knocked out of them. The two of them turned as white as a ghost. Ralph just stood there speechless with more tears streaming down his face. He sobbed for his best friends Simon and Piggy.
“How could this be,” asked Jack under his breath.
“Well, am I going to have to ask again,” said the officer.
One by one the boys gave the officer their version of the adventure beginning with the conch and ending with the last hunt. When they were done, the naval officer led each of the boys on the boat. As Jack and Rodger stepped foot, two more officers put the boy’s hands behind their backs and handcuffed them. The whole boat ride back was miserable. Sam’n Eric both got sea sick and were weak by the previous torture Jack’s group had done to them. Ralph was still shocked by the rescue. He was so shocked that he passed out.
Ralph soon opened his eyes to find himself back on the island. All around him were dead boy bodies he knew and recognized. It was a bloody mess. All of a

    Throughout human history, man has found himself fascinated with the Gods and the mysticism that surrounds them. The idea of praying to a higher power has always appealed to the ethos of mankind, as a way of comfort. Divine intervention has led to the construction of grand temples, churches, and mosques while, the rest of the people lived in shacks battling destitute poverty. Religion has ignored many problems of the human condition in favor of the fantasy of revelation and salvation. It has led to vicious wars, disenfranchisement of entire groups of people all because of the sweet promise of salvation. In John D. Caputo's essay, Caputo highlights the divisive nature of religion and how the promises of revelation and salvation result ultimately lead to further perpetuate the lies and violence that religion has brought…

    At the start he is looked up to by the other boys due to his leadership-oriented qualities of being sensible and confident. However, with the deaths of Piggy and Simon comes Ralph’s overwhelming loss of self-control. The loss of Piggy essentially represents the loss of civilization and this is what causes Ralph to gradually lose his focus of trying to escape the island and changes that determination into feelings of anger as he begins to become more aggressive. His personality begins to change, which is described in the scene where he overhears the hunters talking about capturing him: “[Ralph] felt the point of his spear with his thumb and grinned without amusement. Whoever tried that would be stuck, squealing like a pig” (237). This shows how he begins to find comfort in violent behaviour and this also describes his conversion from civilization to savagery. He lets his emotions start to take control and lets out his inner beast, quickly resorting to aggressive confrontation in a difficult situation: “Ralph launched himself like a cat, stabbed, gnarling, with the spear, and the savage doubled up” (240). This describes how he begins to become more animalistic, being brutally violent when his life is threatened, and is even compared to a cat. This shows the corruption of his personality and behaviour without the external forces to help him contain…
