in the book lord of the flies‚ Piggy is treated like an outsider by all t the other boys on the island‚ mainly Jack. I personally think that the boys are treating Piggy that way because him and might be intimidated‚ Piggy is obviously very intelligent and i think all the boys had an idea of it when the were together for the first time and that’s probably the main reason of the teasing because they know he’s superior. In our society today so many people are treated like Piggy on a daily bases such

W.J. Golding’s novel “Lord of the Flies” is not a childish book as it might seem at the first sight. This novel contains a more profound philosophical meaning: it asks questions of the essence of human nature and discusses the subjects of the sin‚ violence and evil that are inherent to every human being. The leitmotif of this story is that the beast is actually inside us. The characters of the novel are ordinary boys who find themselves on an inhabited island totally isolated from the civilised world

The world will only have a generation of idiots.” In The Lord of the Flies‚ William Golding shows us through the symbols of Jack Merridew and the Conch Shell that the desire to have power and instant gratification surpasses the importance of a civilization. Technology in the hands of people may surpass the importance

In the case of Lord of the Flies‚ while Jack had experience being a leader he was unfit and unable to put first things first on the island. He also did not care for the wellbeing of the other boys. While Ralph was able to maintain a democracy‚ Jack did not consider the needs of the group as a whole. Something important I have learned from both Robert and Lord of the Flies‚ is that in order to be a good leader‚ you must model behaviors

This fear drives a group of naturally good kids to a group of power hungry‚ bloodthirsty savages. After the

My mask was based off of the movie “Predator”. In the movie the character hunts aliens. So I thought this would be a good representation for Jack and his hunters in the book the “Lord of the Flies”. I came to this choice not only I’ve been wanting to make a mask like this but because the look and feeling of the mask has a dark and threatening look to it. Just like Jack because at one point of the story‚ Jack kills a pig and thinks that slitting its throat is funny. Showing how dark he is. Each part
