    From all of the facts and reasons presented throughout the book and in this essay it is obvious that Jack’s descension into savagery is indeed true. The fact that children are savages by nature cannot be denied since it has been proved thoroughly and explicitly throughout this novel. Golding also asserts that actually savagery is innate within each and every one of us, and that it is more primal than our instinct towards the civilized way of life. Having this been said, it can also be said that Jack’s development into a savage can be attributed to his loss of civilization. From what can be taken from this novel, it seems that Golding tries to illustrate and convey that moral behavior is something that society tends to train children to believe…

    As the novel progresses, the two main characters have changed in their characteristics, which show the fault in civilization through temptation and human nature using symbolism for each individual. At first, Ralph and Jack got along with teamwork and split their parts and works among the boys. During the building of the rescue fire, Jack and Ralph were working together to lift up a log to the fire, “Together, joined in the effort by burden, they stammered up the last step of the mountain. Together, they chanted One! Two! Three! and they crashed the log on to the great pile” (Golding 39). This quotation uses the repetition of the word “together” because the author is trying to express the positive relationship between the two boys. This passage also symbolises the beginning…

    Adversity can bring out the positive and negative sides in a person. In “The Proof of Worth,” Edgar Albert Guest demonstrates how challenges in life can help someone understand what he or she is capable of during a hardship. Similarly, “The Importance of Adversity in Growth and Development” written by Patrick Kohan exemplifies how children will never learn how to conquer an obstacle if they are always given assistance. Furthermore, Laura Hillenbrand’s novel, Unbroken, indicates that experiencing problems can affect the way a person’s body reacts and thinks about a difficult moment. Ultimately, the authors highlight that obstacles can be a complex or helpful task, as well as benefit people in the future when they need to know their true talents.…

    A well-known American author, Mark Twain, once said; “Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.” This proves that one’s human nature has a seed, growing inside, consisting of both good and evil. In the novel Lord of the Flies, written by William Golding, as the novel progresses, the nature of hunting changes. This persuades the boys to abandon the values of civilization, leading them to self-indulge themselves with savagery. At first, the main purpose of hunting is for meat. It is evident that the innocence within Jack and the hunters is present when they have a hard time adjusting to their new lifestyle.

Therefore, they must persist in the end when they face adversity. Sometime, some of them are lucky to overcome obstacles by persisting in the end, but many of them can’t overcome obstacles because of the situation, or they don’t even want to overcome obstacles.…
