The Father Hunt

In the beginning of Lord of the Flies, the hunt symbolized Jack’s attempts to prove his courage to the other boys. The first time he goes hunting, he is with Ralph and Simon as they search for food to eat while on an adventure. On that trip, Jack is unable to kill the pig because “of the enormity of the knife descending and cutting into living flesh; because of the unbearable blood” (30). Even though he was with people he considered friends, he felt the need to make up for his fear by, “ [snatching] his knife out of the sheath and [slamming] it into a tree trunk” (31). This seemingly non-violent act serves as a reminder of Jack’s attempt at being brave while in the midst of the other boys.

The main character, Jurgis Rudkus, went through an implausible number of extreme changes in the period of time the story takes place. He morphs from a pure-hearted family man, to an alcoholic tramp, a beggar, a criminal, a player in machine politics, and finally a sober, hard-core member of the Socialist Party. The other characters are hardly worth mentioning. Readers really don't care much about them because they are so under-developed.

For instance, the author’s use of characters: Sanger Rainsford, General Zaroff, Whitney, and Ivan, help to give the story meaning. Sanger Zaroff, a world-renowned big-game hunter, intelligent and experienced, Rainsford uses his wits and physical abilities to outwit General Zaroff: “I hope the jaguar guns have come from Purdey’s. We should have some good hunting up the Amazon.” Hiding from Zaroff, he recalls his days fighting in the trenches of World War I, where he witnessed unimaginable violence: “Rainsford had dug himself in France when a second’s delay meant death. That had been a placid pastime compared to his digging now.” At the same time, the three-day chase reverses his life of privilege and ease, forcing him to sacrifice comfort and luxury to survive.

I recommend this story to people that are into subjects like this. This is what I think about

As mentioned, Larson portrays a good side and an evil side in each plot line of the book. He connects two different characters to each side. H.H. Holmes, the antagonist, of this book reflects the evil. Holmes acts evil by elaborately killing ten different people. Holmes creates alibis for each person he kills. Holmes describes his alibis to the police to cover his catastrophic killings. Holmes told the lie that Minnie Williams went to Europe, and took Howard, Nellie, and, Alice Pietzel to go see their dad in hiding. The protagonist, Frank Guyer, solves the murder of the missing people, and proves that Holmes killed them. Guyer sent Holmes to court, and the court ruled him guilty of murder. Even though the

Some questions I have been asking myself along the way have been, “What is the Great Perhaps of the characters in the story?”, “all of the important events take place on Culver Creek Campus, why is this?”. Another thing I have been thinking of is that John Green keeps the entire novel in the main character, Miles’ point of view. Why is this? Why have no other characters been given the ability to share their perspective on the important events happening as the story progresses?
