Some people would confidently argue that the beast was the main cause of the demise of the island, but they’re wrong. The beast is only a possible element to the demise because of the immense amount of fear he caused and maintained. Fear was the drive behind the violence of hunting the beast. In fact, the level of fear the boys felt towards the beast is what lead to the chanting and dancing before Simon was murdered. It wasn’t the beast itself. It was the fear-filled idea of encountering the beast

The Beast One stormy night there was this house in the middle of the of the woods and, three boys who were about to have the night of their life. James and his friends Cameron and Francisco they were hanging out in the living room when a crash of thunder shook the house and knocked out the power and, scared all of them.

By the fact that there is much rivalry, There will be a corruption of power. Between their voted leader Ralph, And their wannabe leader Jack. Both compete for

I felt extremely awkward when Ralph said, “Why do you hate me?” to Jack when we were hunting for the beast. The reason I felt that way is because I am a hunter, but I side with Ralph with most of the decisions he makes. For example, I sided with Ralph when he tried to make the decision of waiting till morning to go hunt for the aforementioned beast. That was a better idea than Jack’s idea, which was to keep looking for it through the night, because if there was a beast out there, then it could attack

Neal didn't know anyone in Portland. He never knew anyone in any city he traveled to on business. His accounting firm shipped him all over New England to teach tax prep to new hires at subsidiary offices. Each trip drove him farther and farther north, deep into the land of brick mill buildings. Some were repurposed and modernized, others sat idly waiting for the 19th century to come back in style. The people were more or less the same. Neal stared down at the faded black marks on his hands. There

What did the beast represent at the beginning of the story, what was the monster supposed to be at first before it was heavily involved in the story? Before it was heavily involved, they were eager to go on a rampage in the middle of the whole story, they were beginning to become uncivil, they themselves were slowly turning into a beast “found themselves eager to take place in his demented but partly secure society. They were glad to touch the brown backs of the fence that hemmed in the terror and

Do you think if you were in a situation where you were immovable and stranded on an island, that you’d become savage? Would you stick by the laws and stay civilized? Even if you were as proper as the queen? I believe that people in general, would become savages or just do anything in their power to survive. Simon was one of the boys who were on the island with the boys and he was on a mission to give news to the others, the boys were dancing around and eating, they thought Simon was the beast and

Introduction: This story begins at the Indian Ocean, I was walking on the coast and this bald fish human looking thing named Frank. He asked me if I wanted to see his underwater golden kingdom. I murmured sure. He told me to follow him into the ocean so I did. I walked about 10ft into the ocean, everything went dark blue, till I saw a bright light with a city. Part 1: When we got past the gates to the kingdom, he gave me a magical starfish, so I can breathe underwater. We started our way through

Characters Clarified Simon was the wisest boy of the group on the island. He knew before anyone else that the beast was not some physical creature to be scared of. He knew the beast was not something they could just kill. This is shown in the quote, “However Simon thought of the beast, there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick” (Golding, page 103). Simon was a shy boy, therefore he held back this knowledge of the beast from the boys knowing they would find

Many of you may be thinking a beast is someone who is ugly, big, and monstrous, but is that really true? A beast can be within ourselves. The beast is us. In William Golding’s “The Lord of the Flies” includes many monstrous behavior, a boy like Jack. Whom was stuck on the island with other boys. He was different.
