In the beginning of the novel the boys were portrayed as young and innocent children, curious and fond of their surroundings. As the story continues, we can witness the boys going through a survival phase, according to what they witness and feel they react accordingly. They become savage and give into the evil inside of themselves, and follow no of the rules that were set. The plot later reveals that the boy’s in fact are not innocent at all. They are not even close to being innocent. William Golding does a very good job when laying out the habits and the traits of the boys.

Nobody seems to listen to Piggy’s intelligent ideas of how they should act on the island in order to survive. When Jack began assembling his own group of boys, under his leadership, things began to fall apart. Piggy is expressing his frustration towards the boys in the quote,“Can’t they see? Can’t they understand? Without the smoke signal we’ll die here? Look at that!” (Golding, page 139). Piggy, like Simon, has always questioned if the beast could be deeper than a real being. Therefore, Piggy had a greater fear of the boys abandoning the fire, than he did of the beast. The boys are being naive, going after pigs and the beast instead of tending the fire, and Piggy realizes that. He is aware that the boys don’t see the importance in the fire signal as he and Ralph do. Abandoning the fire will lead to no rescue and eventually death upon the island. This could be foreshadowing Piggy’s death since the group of savage boys end up killing

Later, it was decided by Jack that they would need a fire to roast their meat. “We shall take fire from the others,” he announced, “Tonight I’ll go along with two hunters... Maurice, Roger, and me, we’ve got work to do (161).” The three of them stormed the camp and started a fight with the older boys there, beating them bloody and stealing Piggy’s glasses in the process for their own purposes. When the other ‘tribe’ came to get them back, Jack delved into a fight with Ralph while Piggy made a speech in attempt to knock any sense back into the tribe’s

Once Roger leaves Ralph’s group he is manipulated by Jack, and he joins his group, so Jack can tell him whatever he wants him to do. Jack, Roger and another hunter one night went and attacked Ralph and Piggy and stole Piggy’s glasses. Ralph and Piggy went to Jack’s camp site to try and peacefully retrieve them. As Ralph and Piggy are walking up to Jacks camp, Roger and other boys are waiting for them as guards. “Someone was throwing stones: Roger was dropping them, his one hand still on the lever. Below him Ralph was a shock of hair and Piggy a bag of fat” (Golding 180). This quote shows that Roger views these two human beings as targets. When they arrived on the island, he was a peaceful boy who was in the choir, who is now so brainwashed by Jack and savagery that he kills Piggy. The island would have brought out the evil in all of them on its own, but Jack sped up the

Roger thinks it’s fun and games when it comes to hunt. He’ll find the food, and then kill however he wants to. Then he’ll say the phrase, “Kill the pig! Cut its throat! Kill the pig! Bash it in!” He had put a spear in pig’s rectum and made it suffer, and

He scornfully sees the other boys "Acting like a crowd of kids". Later on , Piggy has the idea of creating a sundial to keep track of time. Piggy strives to maintain a hold on the old world they came from and retain a semblance of law and order in their ever increasing chaotic lives. At this point events are interrupted as Jack has let the fire go out and a ship was passing. Piggy supports Ralph in telling Jack off for his negligence and Jack hits Piggy in the face smashing one of the lenses of his glasses, making it difficult for Piggy to see clearly. This seems to cement the relationship between Ralph and Piggy and leads to Piggy becoming a threat and a person to hate for Jack. He refuses to share the meat from the pig with Piggy , who is finally given some by Simon. From this point on Piggy is now firmly in Jack’s sights to be punished and bullied. He is always telling him to shut up. The division between Ralph and Jack widens as he is concerned only with hunting. Piggy is now dependant on Ralph as he cant see properly but similarly Ralph is becoming dependant on Piggy for support as law and order is breaking down and Jack leaves the group to set up his rival tribe taking with him by intimidation the choir and leaving Ralph and Piggy to care for the littleuns.

Several more events, such as the events in Chapter 7, "Shadows and Tall Trees" and Chapter 8, "Gift for the Darkness," contribute to the peak of Roger's loss of sanity. A scene in Chapter 7 includes where all the boys playfully grab Robert, who mocks a helpless pig prey. Roger, who is behind Jack, is "fighting to get close," (pg. 125), to the struggling boy. Afterward, In Chapter 8, after an outburst between Ralph, Jack's new tribe go out and hunt for pigs. Lucky for them, they find a mother pig with piglets. In this scene, Golding emphasizes Roger's bloodlust for the death of the pigs. Roger is the first to kill a piglet, and soon when it comes to the mother pig, Roger is the boy who does the most destruction. He prods with his spear whenever pig flesh appears, and eventually leans his weight on his spear, piercing the poor sow. Lastly, by Jack's command and with no hesitation, Roger grabs the decapitated head of the sow and pushes the spear through its head for display and as a gift for the Beast. The participation in the

Jack has come to see violence as a tool, helping him to gain power in the tribe. This sentiment is never more evident than immediately after Piggy's death. Jack uses the horrifying moment to solidify his power over the other boys "Suddenly Jack bounded out from the tribe and began screaming wildly. ' See? See?

I think Malala uses simple words so it is easier for all of the listeners to comprehend. She also repeats many words to add emphasis in her speech. By using repetition, a speaker emphasizes her points and constantly reminds the listener about what the speaker is talking about. If she didn’t use repetition, most people would either be confused and interpret it their own way or be bored. Malala using simple declarations in her speech advanced her argument because people could understand her points more, allowing them to become fully engaged in her speech. If she used difficult declarations, most people wouldn’t understand what she was saying.

Reading about countries that have an overpowering government system and young-childish,star-crossed lovers who cant be together from a generational rivalry, you wonder how people respond when they feel powerless. For a couple of months I have been able to read different stories where the characters seemed to have their power and rights in someone else's hands. I am all for standing for what you believe in so automatically I grew and appreciation for both characters to some extent.

The boys, at the end of the novel, heavily contrasts from themselves near the beginning of the novel. Towards the start, the boys are keen on developing their own operating society as they wait for rescue, still clinging onto their civilized roots. Yet, over the course of the novel, we see that their grip on civilization begin to falter. By the end, the boys finally receive the rescue they longed for at the start. However, by this point, the boy’s prolonged detachment from civilization has entirely eroded their sense of morality. The boys, with the exception of Ralph, have descended into complete savagery, where they find pleasure in inducing chaos and killing. The prospect of reuniting with civilization overwhelms the boys, as they have been
