Essay --
The novel Lord of the Flies is obviously a fiction novel, not a real story. But that said it has a push-down stack of real life morals that we can relate to and scour comp be and contrast to our everyday life. It takes morals from our everyday life and change surface history of humans, some biblical perspectives even. Some topics are how the island can be represented as the garden of Eden, the fight for leadership, struggle to survive, and the symbolism of the conch. initial well look at the biblical view the island is like the Garden of Eden. The island was describe as perfect and a paradise, then the plane crashed and the boys came. The book describes the island with beauty and majesty and just a cracking place to be- a tropical paradise. If we take a look at the bible in Genesis, it describes the Garden of Eden the same way, no sin, no danger, nothing bad. Then the form of man came. The plane in LotF makes a scar on the island when it crashes, qualification the island imperfect, the boys quarrel and fight, the spill the pigs blood on the surface, start fires, build homes, the boys essentially colonize the island in their own little way, and in the end, basically cauterise the whole thing. Same with the Garden, God makes the Garden of Eden pulchritudinous, and perfect. The trees, animals, and everything else all stop together. Then the serpent comes and tempts the woman, whom gives to the man, and then the fall happened. Mans loathsome nature shows through in both these stories, all that was good and beautiful is destroyed by man. The fight for leadership is a huge remainder in this story, maybe even the main one. Ralph has the good leader shape about him he finds the conch and makes sit a symbol of power almost. It is something that in the beginning can con... ...s boys do. These boys in the book though take these actions to a new level, they murder two of the boys with them, burn the island, hunt to live save also brutally kill the pi gs to. But in the end they are only young immature boys, when the captain comes in the end then the author describes Jack, this great, powerful, barbarian leader just a small illogical boy chasing other boys with spears made of rocks tied to sticks. They end up existence nothing more. The novel Lord of the Flies is obviously a fiction novel, not a real story. But that said it has a lot of real life morals that we can relate to and even equivalence and contrast to our everyday life. The boys on the island have relatable situations to us in our humanness today and the world in the past. The fiction novel is a great book, the author makes connections between the two worlds, and they are easily distinguishable.
