Summary Of ' The Lord Of The Flies '

“What wrong with that boy Doc, why’s he so afraid to be with the other children?” Inquired the captain.

The ride back to civilization was quiet and somber. The echoes of Ralph’s grief hung heavy on the boy’s minds and hearts, while the weight of their sins settling on their shoulders. The officers came and went, asking for names, serving food and water, and cleansing their wounds. Samneric were badly burned and bruised, Maurice was missing, and Jack was unharmed by the flames. “How ironic that it was your manhunt, but you come out unscathed?” Ralph suddenly questioned in the quiet. Jack kept silence, terrified by the possibility of punishment. Ralph scoffed “Nothing to say huh?” he waited for a beat. “Thought so.” The boys settled into a startled silence, and Jack, somehow, became quieter.

Lord of the Flies finds its way in the dark yet enjoyable places in a person’s mind. In the beginning throughout chapter one, the boys gather themselves together, meet one another and start to figure out the events that had just occurred to bring them on the island deserted and lost from civilization, which led to how they were planning to escape or survive in the daunting forest and parlous landscape that lay ahead of them.

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.

The phone rings. It’s three am. Mrs. Smith knows something is wrong immediately. Her son Sean, seventeen year-old, straight A student, and local high school quarter back, didn’t come home last night.

Two men walk into a bar... Sounds like the opening to a bad joke. Well in a way it is; a joke .The two men sit in opposite booths at the bar. They order the same drink and begin to write; one with a notepad and one on a computer. Though they never look at each other, you can feel this sort of vibe in room. Drink one turns into drink four as the night starts coming to the end. The two men are still busy at work writing in their own way. As the younger man gets up to leave, he stops, looks down at the man writing on the computer in front of him.

It felt like an hour since Jack’s car had broken down. Simon, Ralph, and Piggy were not only hot because they were in the middle of Death Valley, but also because they were angry with Jack for not filling his ride up with gas.

On August 16th, 2009, I was in a car accident that was life changing.  Earlier that day, my mother, sister, and I were visiting old friends in a neighboring town.  In the evening, we drove back and the calm car ride lulled me to sleep.  Suddenly, I was thrown against my seatbelt and opened my eyes to see the white mass of airbags in the front seat and smelt smoke filling the air. For a split second, my mother had fallen asleep. In that moment, our car had gone off the road and into a ditch where train tracks ran parallel to the street.  She frantically unbuckled her seatbelt and shouted at my sister and me to get out of the car.  I could feel the gravel shifting beneath us as the car slowly descended onto tracks. Still disoriented, we

This is an answer to Question 1. In chapter 1, Piggy’s mention of an atomic blast prior to the events in the book and his conversation with Ralph helps to depict that Lord of the Flies was set on an uninhabited island around the 1950’s during an atomic war. The Lord of the Flies could have been set at the end World War 2 for on August 1945, an atomic bomb was dropped over Hiroshima in Japan. The novel may be set on an uninhabited island for an example in chapter one Piggy states, “This is an island. At least I think it’s an island. That’s a reef out in the sea. Perhaps there aren’t any grownups anywhere.” The description of their location helps to provide a visual of where the boys are and Piggy, who has proven to be intellectual, provides

Luna derailed off the topic, “Speaking of homosexuals, has anyone heard from my Uncle Charlie? I know I have been busy, very self-involved, but I just remembered my gay Uncle thanks to the perfect men in the other room.”

William Golding’s novel, The Lord of the Flies, is about a group of young schoolboys who are stranded on an island after their plane crashes.

After some time, Jack becomes so focused on hunting and killing pigs that he ignores

When the car came to a stop, I was startled but relieved. I opened my car door and found myself standing in the median of the bypass. I didn’t even know what to do but I guess the anger in me started running towards the car that had hit me. I saw that it was a girl who looked a little older than me. I was thinking in my head “How could she be so careless?” She immediately started walking towards me repeating herself “I’m so sorry, I didn’t see you.” Out of the corner of my eye I saw someone running towards me. When I looked up, I saw a face that I recognized and instantly felt somewhat relieved to know I had my cousin Connor with me. “Are you okay?” Connor asked. “I’m fine but my car is far from it.” I cried. As soon as I saw my car I immediately fell to the ground in the middle of the road. The passenger door was completely destroyed, the paint on my once beautiful car looked so hideous now. I was devastated, anyone would be if they just witnessed the life

In her biblical commentary, Irene Nowell explores the usage of exaggeration in one of her main concepts regarding Jonah. After God commands him to tell the citizens of Nineveh to repent for their malicious acts, Jonah decides to flee onto a ship heading over to Tarsish. God becomes aware of Jonah’s whereabouts, so God sends out a “great wind”, stirs up a “great storm”, and seizes the sailors with “great fear” (Nowel “Jonah 1”). The repetition of the word “great” exemplifies a hyperbole to demonstrate the Lord’s power. A hyperbole is a literary technique used in a figure of speech, thus the device evokes strong feelings and impressions, but the statements made should not be taken literally. It is comprehensible to characterize God as furious and intimidating, however, the hyperbole within this parable is only used as a dramatic effect to grab the audience’s attention. The emphasis of the wind, the storm, and the feeling of fear among the sailors onboard makes the story intriguing as readers ponder over the wrath of God, his control over natural elements, and His supreme sovereignty. Eugene F. Roops’ biblical commentary first concept examines the reluctance of Jonah as he attempts to escape from his responsibility. According to Roops, reluctance upon receiving divine commission was not uncommon because other prophets object God’s message too: Moses, Gideon, and Jeremiah first feel insufficient to fulfill their divine commission at first, yet all three
