With every second going by, a second of life is lost. With every minute coming to an end, so does sanity. “‘The thing is-fear can't hurt you any more than a dream. There aren't any beasts to be afraid of on this island.’” (Golding 91). Yet over time, the boys of William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, discover that their dreams are more than just in there heads. Throughout the novel, Golding writes about how the boys were civilized with each other when they first crashed, but became completely insane by the end of the novel.

The great thing about these two is that they are polar opposites (a foil). Ralph always has a good heart and does not want to put violence into any aspect of his survival. Jack on the other hand immediately wants to get his hands dirty by bringing up how you need food for survival so they need to go kill an animal that’s on the island. This is just one example
