The Portrayal Of The Litluns In Society

Now just like Jack and Roger, the littluns depicted society the most in taking and never giving back. The littluns are used to portray the people in society who don’t work, and abuse the government system to get checks and food stamps. The littluns abused both Ralph and Jack just like the government system. They didn’t want to build shelters when Ralph asked them to, but when the shelters were finished they went and took them as theirs. Also with Jack, they wouldn’t hunt alongside him, but when there was pig killed, they would reward themselves with the meat. The littluns were the majority of the boys on the Island and affected the boys hugely, not in a good way. With the littluns not working this only left Ralph, Jack, Roger, Simon, Sam, Eric,
Piggy, Maurice, and Robert do the work. With only nine people on the Island willing to work it was a struggle. The littluns had been just a big weight hanging from Ralph and Jack’s shoulders and it couldn’t be lifted. They were bringing the tribe down just like people in society today. With people not working and people abusing the system, it is leading to the weight on America’s shoulders to constantly increase every day. One day when that weight is too hard to carry the society is just going to crumble.
