William Golding's Lord Of The Flies

The novel Lord of the Flies depicts a group of young boys stranded on an uninhabited island. However, there is tension for authority on the island and this leads to their ultimate downfall. William Golding emphasizes themes of savagery, loss of innocence and grief. I was astonished in the part of the novel when the boys were brainwashed. They completely lost all their vigilance as humans. I believe that many of the boys in the story were introduced as these common school boys, but times in your life can have a dramatic effect on your actions and physical doings. It was evident that these boys were mistaken to be innocent but they were not. It is a common mistake in our society to have children be labeled as pure, helpless human beings. I beg

Josiah, McCaan and Ms. Fawcett, a well- known family in West Plano had their lives taken on Friday morning. I woke up to the endless amounts of notifications on my phone and the lists of missed calls. My heart was unsteady as I feared what was ahead of me. I promised myself I was in a nightmare but what I thought was a nightmare turned into reality. I was distraught and lost in words, my heart mourned for my friends. I had been informed that McCaan had stabbed Josiah and his mom to death that night and McCaan had been a star basketball player at Plano West but his dreams came to a halt as he suffered two concussions. I could see the dramatic difference before and after his concussions. I feel as if this resembles the part when the boys were being worked up at the bottom of the mountain. They were chanting and yelling, their minds were seduced into an animalistic nature and this led to the murder of their fellow friend, Simon. Josiah had a dynamic personality and magnetism about him. He was considered a leader and an independent person like Simon he was a courageous person and symbolized his independence by searching for the parachutist, alone. I felt there was a void in my heart. I missed him. In my life, I had never really been exposed to death. It never crept upon me or happen

They both had unexpected deaths that were caused by insane humans. Simon took the initiative on the island. He was the adventurer and he was dedicated to finding the beast. His journey was ended when his fellow friends took his life in the night. This reminds me of how Josiah’s brother, McCann, he took his brother's life away. This explains that there is tragedy in this world. People have lost their innocence, not just as adults but as children. We are viewed as smaller images of our parents and we follow their teachings. Some of us children are reluctant. We sometimes forget that anyone has the right to do what they desire. Sadly our generation has become very fast and smart in wrong ways.We have to remember children are not just divine little things, they can be destructive. Grief, a major theme that we find in these two stories. The boys on the island grieve over the loss of Simon they were clueless it was him. I personally mourn the death of Josiah, McCann, and Mrs. Fawcett. I have felt the pain and stings of death. It is painful and sad. But there is a better life to come after all. Since their deaths, I have had flashbacks of memories I had with Josiah. I yearn for those times we cherished together. Nothing will
