Murder In Lord Of The Flies Persuasive Research Paper

Tommy, the attorney for Jack, reinforced his justification with thought-provoking questions and authentic responses from several witnesses. For example, as the attorney for Jack was interrogating Roger, Tommy inquired, “Would you say that you were responsible for Piggy’s death?” Roger answered, “Partially.” Even though one might think Roger was copying Jack’s savage qualities, Roger was cruel and impetuous from the beginning. Undeniably, he was the sadist who killed Piggy when he pushed the boulder on top of him. It was Roger’s fault that Piggy died, all the other characters were distractions creating chaos throughout the scene. Roger was being reckless and impulsive not caring what he was doing and caused Piggy’s death. In addition, Jack’s attorney called Ralph to the stand and questioned him: “Were you responsible for the death of Simon?” Ralph replied, “Partially, I watched it happen.” Evidently, Ralph was present at the ritual dancing with the group of boys, who all contributed to the death of Simon. Because Ralph was elected leader he became the source of authority and role model for all the boys. Therefore, when Ralph began to tackle and beat Simon, everyone else mimicked his actions. Ralph and his irrational actions were responsible for the murder of Simon. Moreover, while Piggy tried to escape his share of guilt for Simon's death, Ralph accepted his part in the

Humans kill, whether it be animals, insects or people. The justice system is used to try and fix what others have done and in this way they are punished. They are punished in a functioning society with rules and laws, but when all that is stripped away, we are left with mass destruction and humans that kill. The novel Lord of the Flies, published in 1954 and written by Nobel Prize winning author, William Golding, portrays the violence and eradication of a functioning society through young boys stranded on an island. Golding uses the symbol fire and forgetfulness of the need for it to develop the theme of the loss of society and creation of uncivilized destruction.

Therefore, he targets Ralph and Piggy deliberately, not wanting to miss and killing Piggy. Moreover, Piggy has been a major symbol from the beginning as he was the one who was civilized and did not turn into a savage after, all he went through; everyone made fun of him. Nevertheless, Piggy stayed positive until the very end of his life as he held conch shell and died. The conch shell was used to represent rules, order and the sense of civilization, however, during the clash of Jack and Ralph. Piggy who held the conch shell shattered into multiple pieces thus, resulting in the savageness taking over the island. There should have never have been a commotion in the start, as they all should have displayed civilized behaviours throughout the island. However, due to the power struggle, either of the leaders helps maintain a civilized island. Violence triggered by power conflict has been the reason why, everyone has complied to savage behaviours which, caused the deaths of Simon and Piggy. Without violence, the island will have remained as a civilized island like the beginning of the book. However, due to the struggle of having power, it created and caused deaths as well as

The T.V. series “LOST” and the novel “Lord of the Flies” have a common conflict which revolves around being innocent or not. This particular conflict focuses on the deaths of Simon and Piggy from LOTF and Marshal from Lost. Marshal, Simon, and Piggy all died in different times and in totally different ways.. But, was it an actual murder or not?

Humans are so evil.We are the most vicious species in this earth.William Golding is an author That wrote “The Lord of the Flies” and an article “Why do boys become Vicious?”.Also when Golding was writing the Lord of the Flies, the creator (Rod Serling) of the popular t.v series “The Twilight Zone “ has an episode named “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” which it synthesizes it into the same theme which is humans are evil one they get influence of fear.

The savages on the island, Jack's boys, would steal Piggy's glasses, robbing him of his sight, which would be the cause of his death. Rather than stealing the conch, a symbol of unity and authority, the savages would steal the only source of rescue, Piggy’s glasses. Leading up to his death, Piggy would only “want [his] glasses”, an inanimate object capable of both rescue and destruction (Golding 197). Representing one's true inner evil, Roger would purposefully kill the only remaining stalwart of the conch. In the moment that “Roger, [would] [lean] all his weight on the lever” that would send Piggy to his death, he is no longer bound to a society of law (Golding 209). Going from throwing rocks aimed to miss at Henry, to rolling a boulder and killing Piggy, Roger represents true ruthlessness in this novel. Lost within his realm of immoral sanctity, Jack would publicize that things would only go downhill after Piggy's sadistic murder. For he would state that “that's what you’ll get” to all who stand by him, Jack then “viciously, with full intention, [hurls] his spear at Ralph” (Golding 209). Catching him with true aim over the ribs, Ralph would realize that there is no more civility on the island, that all hope had been lost. Ralph would learn the hard way that the boys were no longer boys, but rather savages borne from the creation of all evil and fear in one's

Ralph trying to keep peace within his group. To keep his boys safe, healthy, and sane. Jack's anarchy has caused a danger to the safety of his group and the other group. They had no respect for the items of Ralph's group. Raiding and trashing Ralph's camp in the night with no fear of retaliation. When hardship came over Ralph's group, Jack mockingly invited them to a bombfire and the eating of the fresh kill. During the bonfire Jack's group lost all sense and started reinacting how the furocious kill of the pig was earlier in the day. All living in a angered fear of the "monster" who supposedly lived on the island. Simon, who hadn't been apart of the bonfire, rushed to the intertwined groups to explain the falseness of the monster. Jack's group, all sense removed, attacked Simon thinking he was the monster and brutally murdered Simon. With Ralph's group thinning out and the stealing of Piggy's much needed glasses, Ralph and Piggy tried to come to an agreement with Jack so both groups could still intertwine and survive. They mocked this request and pelted them with rocks until one rolled a boulder off a ledge falling on Piggy killing him instantly. The savagry didn't end there either, instead of feeling guilty, they rallied together to hunt and kill Ralph. All sense of rules and reason have been lost. No leader is head of the group. They do what they want in a deadly

Have you ever wondered if that behind our complex society the people are barbaric? This is answered by Lord of the Flies. The author implies that a basic theme of the novel is that human beings are naturally violent and savage, which makes civic order impossible to sustain.

Man has always been selfish. Throughout history, man has gotten what he wanted whether it was through war and bloodshed or peaceful manners. However, law and order in today’s society restrict humans in expressing their selfishness as much. Crime takes place often but rarely do the criminals get away with it. Lord of the Flies by William Golding is a novel that portrays the selfishness that exists within humans. Golding’s use of imagery and description of characters help to show the savagery and barbarity that emerge from within humans in the absence of rules and regulations.

The shift towards violence all started when Jack got his first kill. Jack got a lot of attention for being the hero of the day by providing food. He liked it and wanted more of it, so he set out to start his own tribe of hunters. By doing so he made his tribe love to kill, so when they gave the so called Beast the head of a pig; he showed the boys that he wants to kill the beast or show that he is real. So Simon sees the head and starts to imagine that it was the Lord of the Flies due to his mental illnesses, which don’t get any better from being on an remote island.
