symbolism


every thing in the world has a deeper meaning. in "the lord of the flies" their are many symbols for example the beast  represents fear. this also come in may different forms the littluns  have the fear of being stuck her with some beast. many people don't believe in any of it but the main person that shows you what it represents is simon and how that it is something they created from fear and anger of being on this island. if you go deeper the one person that isn't scared of it is simon because he is able to face it but the other kids just try to block it out but they still think about it.





another example is fire and that stands for the hope they have of getting of the island. when it goes out so does their hope of getting of the island. you can see this very clearly from the way ralph and piggy lash out jack. then when jack finds out he also lashes out which can be the fact they yelled at him but I think its also because he gave up hope as well. simon also has to leave and clear his mind and get back on track when the fire goes out which is a lost of hope.






the face paint represents the savagery of everyone who has lost hope and has become more animal like. you see this mainly in jack and how he pts on the face paint and it blocks and part of being a human of society. you csan also see this in some of the other hunter and how they change from normal boys that are polite and kind to being savages that don't listen to anyone but jack.

The conch symbolizes the society that they are trying to hold onto. This is important because as the boys go on they and loss part of their society they are able to hold onto it by the conch.   Whoever is talking is using the conch and no one is allowed to interrupt anyone, ralph also uses it to call a assemble. It is used during every meeting and they hold onto it and it tells everyone else to pay attention. This is what the conch shell symbolizes for and how it is used to keep the boys society.

lord of the flies diary

 dear diary, Hello my name is jack and today I will be expressing what happened today to my life. I am on a plane going home because they were evacuating us from boarding school due to the war when the plane I was on split in half and me and my choirs landed on a island. Their are many survivors most of my choir lived but their are no adults. We were called to the beach by a loud horn nose and it was the other survivors. Their is another boy and his name is ralph and I think he wants to be leader but we all know I should. His friend piggy is also very annoying and I think they are planning against me. So we had a vote for leader ralph won. They all want to know if were on a island so ralph my best friend Simon and myself all go check it out and we see a beast but it runs away. I swear to kill that beast for food and that was my day.  sincerely, jack

d-day journal

Wiliam golding was effected by d-day because of the way he saw life and men because he wasn’t sure about anyone's Morales anymore. He was effected in the way saw men because he wasn’t sure if they were born evil and grew up learning how to be nice or they were born good and learned how to do evil. He also learned that people can be very cruel for no reason. Golding questioned the goodness of mankind because of all the kill. He was feeling this way because of all the deaths he saw during d-day.   I believe that man are born both evil and good. I believe this because it depends on the person. there are some stories of people who help others without thinking of themselves and other people who love the misery of others. I also believe people can learn to be barbaric if they are good because of the way they see the world changes. They can also become civilized because of a life changing moment like going to jail.
