the chief bat’s 444th full moon‚ the preparations for his death ceremony began. Marigolds and red spider lilies were laid out in a circle and the cricket band began to play. As soon as the sun fell behind the horizon‚ the procession from the sacred tree to the moon pond started‚ with the chief leading the way and his son behind him. As the procession made it to the moon pond where the marigolds and spider lilies were laid out‚ all the bats stopped and the chief bat stood in front of them all ready to

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

Don’t get me started on spiders. I absolutely hate spiders. In the whole wide world there as nothing other than spiders that I hate the most (apart from cockroaches a course). Spiders terrify me just by looking at them from a distance. They are these horrible‚ hairy bloodsucking creatures. Despite being a huge animal lover (meaning that I like mainly dogs‚ cats‚ etc.) I never have or ever will like spiders. They just make my skin crawl every time I see them. I could even be a pitch black in a room

being a leader but be lacking in other respects. 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 you want others

The Declaration of Independence was written because people decided they were going to speak up about their rights. Notably‚ in dire situations no one is to blame but the unspoken. In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies‚ a school group of boys stranded on an island‚ attempting to create order have the same matter of the consequences speech and silence creates. Before the group even begins to know each other two boys‚ of the names Ralph and Jack‚ take control over the silence and gain power. Throughout

humanity and civilization. One element in 2013 that can change our humanity is technology. As Einstein once said‚ “I fear the day when the technology overlaps with our humanity. 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 of a

The story of The Lord of The Flies by William Golding is written in a twisted and ironic cruelty. Golding uses the fear of the ’Beast’ to drive the boys insane. From this fear the boys kill a boy in a out of control fire‚ and brutally maul Simon. The fear in the children is the cause of two deaths on the island‚ some of the arguably most well rounded and smartest characters in the story. This fear drives a group of naturally good kids to a group of power hungry‚ bloodthirsty savages. After the

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

The Lord of The Flies shows me that children can not think as or act as adults. An example of this “Bollocks to the rules! We’re strong-we hunt! If there’s a beast we’ll hunt it down! We’ll close in and beat and beat and beat-!” This examples the fact that children are not rational they think and speak with emotions. Jack is saying that he won’t avoid it or try to logically confront his issue. An adult in my opinion would seek reason as to why the beast hasn’t got them first and that maybe its best
