Right from the beginning of the novel‚ the reader‚ can indicate that Jack has neither respect nor compassion towards the remaining survivors.

The afternoon sun slanted in from the other side of the platform and most of the children‚ feeling too late the smart of sunburn‚ had put their clothes on. The choir‚ less of a group‚ had discarded their cloaks. Ralph sat on a fallen trunk‚ his left side to the sun. On his right were most of the choir; on his left the larger boys who had not known

not always the case..

Though Simon is often thought of as crazy‚ he is actually quite sane and almost saint-like in the way he acts. As many of

The presence of fear in Lord of the Flies Lord of the Flies is a relatively short book‚ but within its small amount of text William Golding is able to do much more than tell an exciting story.

Some are about old traditions‚ some are about how a country was many years ago and some are about how are name makes who we are.
