Fitting In Lord Of The Flies

Being threatened and killed due to one 's belief is unjust and heartless. It shows somethings in a person. It shows that they are below human beings. It shows that they have no care for others besides those closest to them. It is evil, cruel and all in all just not right at all no matter what scenario people find themselves in. This is something called social injustice, or unfair treatment. An example of this is a situation in which the rights of a person or a group of people are ignored or violated in many ways. One big example of social injustice is the holocaust lead by nazi Germany 's. The nazis were a group against Jewish people and killed them in massive death camps like Auschwitz . People of many ages were brought there. From retired grandpas and grandma to children not even in preschool. The treatment was the same for all. The perspective on the other hand was different. The little kids may not have realized how bad it was compared to the older folk who saw and understood what went on in these type of camps and situations. This type of traumatic experience can change a person and is a terrible thing that history definitely doesn 't want to repeat. In the nonfiction New York bestseller Night by Elie Wiesel, the realistic-fiction novel The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne, and the true and inspiring story Run, Boy, Run by Uri Orlev, it is evident that being brought up during times of social injustice can cause

Sometimes we mentally ask ourselves, “What can I do to fit in?” which is a simpler way of saying, “What societal norms do I need to conform to in order to not be ridiculed”

“Maybe there is a beast… maybe it’s only us.” A group of British boys, ranging from six to twelve years old, become stranded from their plane crash on an uncharted island after being evacuated presumably from the shadows of WWII with no adult supervision. At first, the boys are inflamed with the gobs of freedom they are given but some swiftly realize that it’s the worst possible thing to happen. The way of the wild consumes some of the boys past the point of no return and unchangable “mistakes” are made. Eventually, they are rescued from the island but perhaps not from their behavior. In the novel Lord of the Flies, William Golding uses personification, diction, foreshadowing, and imagery to convey that savage tendencies in all of us tend

Piggy throughout Lord Of The Flies by William Golding portrays loyalty, voice of reason and dependence. The fat kid is an perfect example of someone who gets excluded but has high intelligence and understanding of the whole picture. Piggy experiences loss of friendship and trust because of the way he looks, the boys treat him differently.

I never fit in anywhere. Wherever I went, whatever friends I had, I would mold myself to fit their standards. Though this only was only

The setting allowed for the boys to develop without any influence of adults. They were isolated from any other people, which makes the growth from young boys to savages seem natural. The way the setting is described in the beginning also paints a picture for the reader that the island is a paradise full of happiness. The weather also helps show the attitude and behavior of the boys. The beach is normally described as bright and the ocean is calm. Deeper into jungle, it’s described as dark and scary. The night Simon was killed, the night is described as pitch black, there is a storm, and the ocean is

don 't fit in. Others pretend to be something they truly aren 't. No matter which

Ralph looked up from the letter with defiance in his eyes. He had known his elderly, kind neighbor since he was a boy; he was not a criminal. Vrant had a bad habit of falsely accusing citizens so he could get free work out of them. Quickly, he typed a letter of denial and sealed it in an envelope, before sliding it back under the door. Immediately, footsteps were heard on the other side as one of Vrant’s agents retrieved the letter.

A pigs head on a stick was speaking to me. I was completely baffled. It started talking about the beast. The lord of the flies (pigs head) started talking none sense saying, "I'm part of you?" The lord of the flies was implying that the beast was part of me and that I am foolish for even trying to kill it. That can't be possible, the beast is mysterious creature that come from the sea and hunts. My eyes were half closed and my body was getting stiff. The head of the pig was expanding, it spoke at tone of a school master and started to get angry. Before I fainted I heard the lord of the flies despicably say, " W are going to have fun on this island! So don't try it on, my poor misguided boy or else" (144). I don't understand

First of all, some people will believe they will have to act or look a certain way to fit in. In the short film IDENTITY it starts out in a school where everyone wears a mask. In certain groups everyone has on the same mask, some people will even change their mask to fit in with another group. There

The book, The Lord of the Flies, covers a lot of topics about human nature. The book shows what life would be like if humans were reverted back to their savage-like ways, after a corruption of society. The boys on the island started out with a sense of civilization and order, but society broke down and the boys resorted to murder. Civilization broke down due to, what I see as, three key reasons, which are fear, acceptance, and respect for leadership. Fear causes the children to form groups in order for survival, because it is evolutionarily advantageous to be in groups. In order to be in a group, you must be accepted by the group. Then, in order for the group to function properly, there must be a leader that is respected. Instead of this civilization, the boys on the island were corrupted by “the beast”, which symbolizes the darkness inside of man. Fear caused the boys to form groups, but there was conflict. The boys didn’t get along so there was minimal acceptance, and due to two leaders fighting for supremacy, the tribe split and there was a lack of respect and cohabitation.

Someone can fit into society by either doing whatever is comfortable for their self or you can try to fit yourself in by doing things out of your comfort zone with new people. I think that because if you want to find a place in society, you have to prove that with your actions by sticking out and being noticed.

“Fitting in” is a feeling everybody endured at least once. Socializing is an aspect of life humans need yet take for granted; the ability to perceive and to gauge a person or conflict is unique to humans; animals do judge and response, but to do it out of survival instincts is the dividing line between man and beast. Currently, society has to tools to communicate across the globe, but with this came a sense of constant management of such technology. Following current events and being “in-the-know” on the latest show or music album is what it takes to not be seen as an outcast, and such behavior is seen primarily in young adults.

Lord of the Flies is about savagery and the instincts of survival. When the boys become stranded on the island, they immediately fall into ranks with the older boys at the top, to be respected and obeyed, and the younger ones to be governed. The greatest thing that contributed to the demise of three of the boys was different ideals. Through the entirety of the book, Ralph wanted rules and order to mimic society, Piggy was the voice of reason and hope, but violence and chaos were invited by Jack's tribe, and in that, the relationships and order of the island unraveled because of the inability of the boys to see eye to eye.

Everyone wants to fit in. Well, maybe not everyone. There are some people that want to be left alone and want to do things by themselves, but I can assure you that they still want someone to be with and to care for them. My point is that people want to be a part of something, whether it be a certain group, club, sports organization, or clique, the majority of people want to fit in. Michael Kimmel gives a good example of this in a piece of his writing “Bros Before Hoes: The Guy Code.”
