The Effects Of Racing On A Dirt Track

A major change within the allegorical novel is the domination of hunting where, by the end of the book, the boys begin celebrating the death of animals by chanting “Kill the Pig! Cut her Throat! Bash it in! (Text 1, )”. This celebration starkly contrasts with a period of time where the boys could not kill a pig despite being given the opportunity. This difference demonstrates the loss of society as the boys are able to be independent of the authority of adults and societal means. Furthermore, the boys in the book grow in fear through the manifestation of a beast which causes the boys to sacrifice and murder the ‘beast’. The ‘beast,’ disguised by the shadows of the night, was truly a young boy named Simon who represented generosity within society. In addition, the boys commit another atrocity when they murder a young intellectual named Piggy who remained civilized throughout the novel. Symbolically, both Simon’s and Piggy’s bodies area swept off the island by the ocean, further removing any societal influence from the boys. Through these deaths, the readers understands that man is savage without rules and laws. Furthermore, the environment is shown influence children as they develop. A video by CBS News demonstrates this when a

Simon, for instance, battles with himself about the 'beast'. When the discussion about the beast goes on in chapter five, Simon is hesitant on explaining about the beast. From his line “maybe there is a beast” (pg. 89), he struggles to explain to everyone what he thought the beast really is. Simon knows that the beast is not corporeal, but rather an evil within humankind. His conflict within himself regarding the beast's identity moves the story when he ventures out to search for the beast. In result, he stumbles into the Lord of the Flies, who confirms his knowledge about the beast – that it is actually the evil within the boys. It also ends up in his death, when he wants to tell the boys about the 'real' beast. As for Piggy, he tries very hard to gain everyone's approval, especially Ralph's. His desire for approval is apparent since the first chapter, when he asked for Ralph's name and expects Ralph to ask his in return (pg. 11). But it is more apparent in the fourth chapter, when Piggy suggests to Ralph that they build a sundial (pg. 64). Ralph's reaction towards Piggy's idea was out of pity, but Piggy misinterpreted it as “friendliness” and “rejoiced” at Ralph's smile. Piggy, however, did not seek Jack's approval, as he always retaliated Jack's abusive behaviour towards him. Jack kept on bullying Piggy physically – punching him and broke his glasses in the fourth chapter – and verbally –

No one would think kids could turn to cruelty, but in this book, you can see how human nature turns people against each other. Not all the boys turned to savages, but there were times when there actions were questionable. Take Ralph for example, he was probably one of the least barbaric of them all, yet he still joined in on the murder of Simon. While most boys were oblivious to their descent into savagery, people like Ralph realized this ongoing turn, “I’m frightened. Of us. I want to go home, Oh God, I want to go home” (Golding 157). The boys change into savagery was not gradual, and even some of the boys, such as Ralph or Simon, noticed this trend, and as young boys it frightened them to realize the fact that they were altering towards inhumanity. As well, the book represents that evil is in all of us. The Beast, which was the main source of evil in the book, was not real. It was only a figment of the boys’ imaginations. While the Beast wasn’t a physical thing it represented

After all of the boys had ate their fill of hog the boys began their chant, ¨Kill the beast! Cut His throat! Spill his blood!¨ As Roger was pretending to be the pig the chant suddenly became much more than a game. During their chant, ¨A thing was crawling out of the forest. It came darkly, uncertainly. The shrill screaming that rose before the beast was like a pain. The beast stumbled into the horseshoe¨(Golding 152) The boys barely seemed affected as they just opened the circle up into a horseshoe and enclosed the beast in the circle. That was not the beast as they believed though. The ¨beast¨ was actually Simon. ¨Simon was crying out something about a dead man on a hill¨(Golding 152.) As Simon cried out Ralph heard him and Ralph was on the outside of the circle. That means that if Ralph on the outside of the circle could understand him then the boys close to the middle must of been able to hear him. So the boys just wanted to kill something or someone. To the Jack and his band of followers they were to worried about killing then to see what the consequences were. Not only did Jack and his savages murder on of their own they also validated my point. Humans are self-centered and do what is the most pleasing for the time being not what will help them in the future. Those 30 seconds of fun caused regrets for Samneric, Piggy, and Ralph, those actions also probably caused some of

The imaginary beast that scares the teenage boys stands as the savagery existing within all human beings. The beast scares all the boys but only Simon reaches the realization that exists within each of them.As I said before, the boys are afraid of the something in their imagination, which applies as the beast. This is apart of their imagination, which means the evil part among us. In the book, Piggy begins to say that the beast is just fear and Simon tells them, "Maybe, maybe there is a beast what I mean is maybe it's only us". This is saying that Piggy and Simon believe and are implying that the beast among them are themselves. Jack states that the beast can take shape in any form, which is typically saying that the beast can take over anyone. It is foreshadowing how the beast will soon come out of the boys and start a troubling and dangerous riot. The beast can't be killed because it is in every single one of us. The beast is the dark side inside all of us. The beast cannot be hunted and killed, because if the pig is apart of themselves, that means they are killing themselves. The boys are afraid of the beast, but only Simon realizes that they fear the beast because it exists in each of them. As the boys grow more restless, their belief in the beast grows stronger. By the end of the novel, the boys are leaving it and their actions is what brings the beast into their lives. The more crazy the boys are, it becomes more real.

I was bouncing up and down in my car seat my seat belt trying to keep a hold of me. I was so excited to finally get to go to six flags. As we pulled up to get into the parking lot, they wind rushed through my hair, I stuck my head out the window to get a better view of six flags. The rides going back in forth and the people eagerly waiting in line to get in. we pulled up to a parking. The car came to a stopped, everyone jolted forward and then back in their seats. I opened the door stepping out and letting the rest of the people come out. The door slammed behind me and echoed through the parking lot. We made our way getting closer and closer to the amusement park, my older cousins were walking behind me and the young ones who were running across the street playing, my uncle screamed at them to not play in the street.

This scenes important because the violence went from killing pigs to killing humans who were there friends: ‘“Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood! Do him in!”The sticks fell and the mouth of the new circle crunched and screamed.”(152) This chant shows us how violent they were especially since they use to chant “Kill the pig! Cut her throat! Spill his blood!”(69)and now they're killing humans while saying the same phrase. Piggy's death was more traumatizing them simon's: “The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee; the conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist…. Piggy fell forty feet and landed on his back across the square red rock sea. His head open and stuff came and turned red.Piggy’s arms and legs twitched a bit like pig’s after it has been killed.”(181) This quote tells us how violate the boys got adding to Golding's theme of humans are naturally

Here they are in a meeting and they are talking about the so called beast. Jack has said that there’s no beast. The boys still fear that there is some kind of beast roaming the island, When Piggy tries to explain why there’s no beast in the island saying that the beast would have nothing to eat, the boys reply that the beast may also eat pigs like them. Then they shout out piggy’s name. Here is a foreshadowing of not only that they end up being the beast themselves but of the death of Piggy later on. This foreshadows that they are indeed the beast, that the evil nature of the boys will show later on when they kill. Ironically they kill the pig like the supposed beast would because they were the beast themselves.

Piggy urges Ralph to use what power he has left by calling a meeting: “’What’s grown-ups going to say?’ cried Piggy again…The sound of mock hunting, hysterical laughter, and real terror came from the beach. ‘Blow the conch, Ralph...You got to be tough now. Make ‘em do what you want.’ Ralph answered in the cautious voice of one who rehearses a theorem. ‘If I blow the conch and they don’t come back; then we’ve had it. We shan’t keep the fire going. We’ll be like animals. We’ll never be rescued.’” In this situation, Piggy is still worried about the punishment of his previous life. He is the closest thing to an adult on the island, and Ralph is the only one who advocates listening to him, illustrating Ralph’s connection to the rules of traditional civilization, which the other boys despise and want to escape through the island. After showing blatant disregard to their “chief’s” rules, they decide to escape the constraints of Ralph’s assemblies and embrace their inner savagery with Jack. Piggy urges Ralph to blow the conch, the symbol of his power throughout the book, but Ralph understands that his form of leadership is becoming the less desirable option to the boys: if he calls an assembly and the other boys do not respond, its power, and his civilization, will have completely disintegrated. Ralph constantly emphasizes their responsibilities on the island—specifically, tending to the signal fire.

Before this however, he quickly realizes that pig hunting is not as important as keeping the fire going. Time and time again he reminds the boys that the fire is the most crucial factor. Despite his attempts, the boys are often distracted. During the feast, they get trapped into a web of excitement that leads to the death of Simon and the murder of Piggy. When Ralph flees after Piggy was killed, he runs into the skull of the pig. “A sick fear and rage swept him” (Golding 185). Ralph breaks the pig's skull into two. Ralph’s feelings are defined in two ways; sick fear, and rage. He is angry that the pig was killed so violently and the symbol of savagery is hanging right before his eyes. He is also scared of how savage the boys had turned, that they were willing to use violence as a way to react to fear (the beast) and Jack’s

William Golding explains in an article titled “Why Boys Become Vicious” that the boys’ actions derive from “[...] conditions in which cruelty seems to flourish, which is different from saying that it has clear causes. What are these conditions? Chaos is one, fear is another” (“Why Boys Become Vicious”). Jack’s government, a place where the boys can have fun and battle their inner beasts, emerges and starts to grow during the storm. As thunder howls overhead, the boys begin turning their fears into a deadly practice by forming a circle and eventually attacking Simon, who stumbles in accidentally. Not knowing what to do about the chaos around them, “Piggy and Ralph, under the threat of the sky, found themselves eager to take a place in this demented but partly secure society. They were glad to touch the brown backs of the fence that hemmed in terror and made it governable” (Golding, Lord of the Flies 152). The crashing storm, the looming possibility of an island beast, and the surprising switch in leadership from Ralph to Jack cause the boys to get caught up in a mental storm of terror and trepidation. Even the most sensible of them are eager to participate in any type of organized society. Participating stalls their growing doubts to the point where they can find peace in the rituals that end Simon’s life. Though Jack forms the corrupt society that induces the group into the chants, none of the boys can be held accountable because of the chaotic situation and fearful conditions present at the time of

The smell of burnt rubber, the sound of engines rumbling, and the let’s not forget the adrenalin rush. That rush is something that I am now addicted to. When i starting racing when I was 14 years old in a 4 cylinder and now being in a big boy racecar called a sport-mod, things have changed for me in many ways to how I look at racing.

The author affirms that all of the boys felt the effects of the beast within them through Ralph’s statement, “I wasn’t scared… I was - I don’t know what I was” (173). This quotations displays Ralph’s uncertainty and confusion over Simon’s death. This becomes significant as the boys lose their hold on sanity once anchored through Simon. Although Simon’s death allows the group to lose hold of their goodness, Piggy’s death causes all order to cease on the

This story is about me and my family’s relationship with racing. Racing is really important part of me and my family’s life. My family watches types of racing from Nascar to Sprint cars.We love racing because it brings are family together and other families together.

We ate our supper and a filled up the truck with some gas and made our way back on the interstate. We had been only traveling on the road for about ten minutes when we had our near death experience. I notice a car ahead of us was sliding all over the road so, I slowed down and to my surprise we were on black ice sliding everywhere. The car ahead of us was partially off the road. I had to make a choice fast to hit the people in the car or hit a concrete barrier that was in the median. I fought with all my strength to keep the truck from flipping and to keep from hitting the people in the car and there it was the impact we had braced our self for. The truck came to a rest in the middle of the road after it spun around some. I tried to start my truck and it would not even turn over. At this time John and I could see lights coming down the road so we tried to push my truck out of the road. An ambulance driver was returning to Searcy, the driver helps us get my truck out of the road. I called the police to report the accident and John and I both called our parents to let them know what had happen; the ambulance driver checked us both out and talked to our parents to let them know we were
