It has been a few weeks on the island. I choose to be Ralph’s side, because he was the only one to personally speak to me. An everyday image for us group of boys is Jack and his hunters hunt while Ralph, Simon, and I build shelters and Piggy and the littluns build a rescue fire. Jack harassing Piggy and then going to bed musing about being rescued. Today was different though. Today we are going to find out if the beast is real. We have been walking through the jungle all day listening to Jack and Ralph argues about being chief, which, is getting on my last nerve. As the sky changed into a dark shade, Simon volunteered to go back and help Piggy with the littluns. I don’t know why he wanted to go back alone but if anyone would sacrifice, it would be him. We reached the mountain! Jack went climbing up on his own while Ralph, and I waited for him. Eventually we decided to go up. “There was a slithering noise high above them, the sounds of someone taking a giant and dangerous strides on a rock or ash” (Golding 121). As jack came down, he had a croaking feel to him. He said he saw something bulge. Ralph and I decided to go take a peak. When we got to the top, we saw a creature. …show more content…

“Before them, something like a great ape was sitting asleep with its head between it knees.” “Then the wind roared in the forest, there was confusion in the darkness, and the creature lifted its head, holding toward them the ruin of a face” (Golding

    The Lord of the Flies depicts a human race through its dynamic characters, which embody a combination of logic, goodness, violence, and anarchy. Ralph, the protagonist of the novel, is the “public face of civilization” (Anjum 4). In the beginning of the novel, naïve, young Ralph hopes to construct some form of civilization into the boys to attain rescue. However, as the novel progresses, Ralph becomes vulnerable to the savagery and anarchy of the other boys on the island. In The Lord of the Flies, Golding demonstrates this struggle between savagery and civilization through the characterization of Ralph, an innocent child who is forced into maturity by his experiences on the island.

We’ve killed a pig and we’ve got meat. You can come and eat with us if you like.”, and all of the boys accepted the offer. On the night of the feast, one boy, Simon, was in the forest and burst out amidst a ritualistic dance the hunters we’re doing. He was attacked with their spears as soon as he rushed out. Simon was brutally murdered and his body was washed out to sea. The raids didn’t stop and eventually the hunters stole one of the boy”s, Piggy, glasses.

    I think I finally figured out how the human race will be wiped out. It won’t be by little green men or some colossal natural disaster. That would be too simple, and God knows that after everything us humans have been through we deserve a bit of complexity to our ending. Hence, the virus that turns people into killers. It acts quickly and subtly, making a father hold a knife to his daughter’s throat in the middle of the night, or forces a mother to drown her only child in the pool, before turning on themselves. I haven’t caught it yet but the boy who lies, injured in the stunted light at the end of my M15 may have. I don’t know what happened to him but the sunlight is kissing red that’s seeping from a wound on his shoulder. He is the only living person I’ve seen in 4 weeks.

    The beast represents everything the boys imagine, believe in, and eventually start killing and sacrificing others. The desire the need and want for survival and will try anything to be successful enough at it. The boys are afraid of the beast because they believe it’s an evil spirit that is trying to capture them and possibly even kill them. They ve an imagined image in each of their heads of who and what the beast is. In Painted Faces and Long Hair, the boys hunted a pig and their chants were a disturbing kind of evil and their shouting of “Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Spill her blood” (69). That is evil represented through slaughtering of a pig and yelling of their actions that were taken place. They killed the pig for their own survival needs and as a peace offering for the beast they all had made in their minds. With the evil surrounding the island and the boys through the beast the boys were not themselves or who they use to be. Cry of the Hunters chapter 12, the boys are close to survival and rescue but before all that can happen once last stint of evil arises. The boys are telling ralph that he is hated and that he needs to leave. The evil has spread among all the boys and he is to partly to blame. Eric tells Ralph, ‘They hate you, Ralph. They’re going to do you’ “They are going to hunt you tomorrow” (188). The evil this shows it has taken over the boys and their minds. They are controlled by all the evil that the island holds.
