Sam and Eric, the twins that never seem to be apart, always honest, and always working towards the greater good. After Piggy’s tragic death, Jack takes Samneric and they become part of the tribe that he created.

(Law and Order) "We've got to have rules and obey them. After all, we're not savages. We're English, and the English are best at everything. So we've got to do the right things." (Golding 42)

The power-hungry will often feel the need for absolute control, hardly ever getting what they desire, they will often be portrayed as crazy and vicious. The same can be said for Jack; all he wants is to be the leader and make the decisions, but Ralph is the one in control. Jack’s desire for power is ruining his own image, and the well being of the other boys. Without the supervision of adults his morals and values took a turn for the worst.

In order for Jack to come to power, he uses the boy’s fear of the island while telling them that he will lead them to hunt and kill the beast. Currently, on the island, the beast was in everyone's thoughts and dreams. During the night, the littluns would scream during their sleep due to a figure known as the beast. Jack exclaims to Ralph that there was no beast on the island and there is nothing to be afraid of. Later on, in chapter 5 during an assembly, Jack declared that “...We’re strong–we hunt! If there’s a beast, we’ll hunt it down! We’ll close in and beat and beat and beat–!” (91). Jack is exclaiming to the boys that there is a beast and he will hunt it down and beat it, even though he previously said to Ralph that the beast is a myth

His brothers had green feathers and wings but Johnny was purple. Johnny did not fly but I he tried since he was a little bird. Cruel white eagle scared him every time he tried it until it decided not to fly. Johnny can’t fly, so, he could not attend bird school, and trained as a soldier for the protection of nature.

In Lord Of The Flies, the Beast on the Island represents more than just literally just a Beast on the Island. The Beast on the Island literally means there is a Beast on an Island, the boys believe there is something on the Island, other the the boys. The boys’ also blame the beast for anything that happens on the island that they cannot explain. The Youngins believe that there really is a beast, while the older kids believe it's just their imaginations.

“There isn’t anyone to help you. Only me. And I’m the Beast--Fancy thinking the Beast was something you could hunt and kill! Said the head. You knew, didn’t you? I’m part of you? Close, close, close! I’m the reason why it’s a no go? Why things are the way they are?” (page 206)

Symbol: The long hair represents how long they have been on the island. The “painted faces and long hair” symbolize savagery. Jack paints his face and it makes him feel as if he is one with nature to symbolize his savagery.

“The thing is - fear can’t hurt you anymore than a dream.”(Golding, 116). Ralph’s point of view on fear is declared within the quote. Ralph is the protagonist derived from William Golding’s esteemed bestseller, Lord of the Flies. In the renowned novel written by Golding, young boys in a plane have crashed and descended upon an uninhabited island with more than sufficient vegetation. On the first chapter of the fictional writing, many of the boys are very enthusiastic and exhilarated about being on an island without any parental supervision.

This quote is very important for many reasons. Ralph, Samneric, and Piggy are going to confront Jack and his tribe in Chapter Eleven. Ralph leads the expedition, while Piggy holds the conch, their rallying symbol. They soon come into conflict with the savages guarding “the chief’s” fort. Then Jack comes back from hunting, and starts fighting with Ralph.

Ralph- Good- The fair-haired, tall, handsome Ralph is an obvious choice to lead the band of children stranded on the island. He has a "directness" in his manner that the narrator calls a sign of "genuine leadership. He seems to be genuinely interested in the welfare of the entire group and can get along with all kinds of people.

In the book,”The Lord Of The Flies”, William Golding writes about a group of boys stranded on an uninhabited island. There are four boys that are important to the story: simon, ralph, jack, and piggy, yet each have different views of what is and isn’t important to survival. But only one manifest any sign of intelligence. Piggy the boy who believed that law and order should be kept throughout their time on the island. The little boy who lost his parents at a young age, the one who would seem as if he would be the least capable of survival on the island, piggy is the only “intellectual of the island.

Throughout Lord of the Flies, Ralph and Jack have been locked in a conflict that is representative of the larger allegorical aspects of the text that they portray: Ralph symbolizes civilization, whereas Jack symbolizes anarchy and savagery. The conflict between these two characters comes to a head in this climatic scene. The dominant moods in this passage are brutal and chaotic; Goulding develops these moods through the use of figurative language. Ralph runs “screaming, snarling, and bloody” through the thicket, while Jack’s group of boys “cry out madly behind him” (Goulding 199). The use of these vivid verbs reduces the tribe of boys to wild animals on a hunt, with Ralph reduced to prey.
