Final LOTF Blog

The end of the book is now here and it is a good ending to this story. With all the savagery and uncivlization in this story it really makes a person think.

Whe i look at what this story says about the way we live today it makes things more clear. When Jack turns savage and mad it refelcts on todays society. When he first kills the pig it was hard; but the second time it got easier and easier averytime he did it. It happens today in life too. When a person commits murder they have a hard time doing it the first time. Then when the second time comes around they can do it more easily. The reason they can do it easier and they same goes for Jack is because you get over that foist wall of fear. The fear that is holding what is inside of you back. Everyone has rage and anger built up inside of them. Its just chosing the right time and place to let it out is the important thing.

The same goes for keeping hope and faith. The boys did alright with keeping those two things at the beginning when they were one big group. But when Jack made his own group just for the hunters it split the boys in half. The ones that had hope stayed with Ralph and the ones that started letting the built up rage out went with Jack. When the boys were slplit there were arguments about everything. There was murder of two boys and a big fight.

Things are really starting to heat up around the camp. There was murder and real savagery involved in this reading. Jack i think has completely lost it and has now taken over. When looking at this now i think they will never get rescued.

The boys have now killed one of theirown because they have all gone so far away from civilization they dont know what to do. The only person that knew anything in the group is now dead. They killed simon and now will probably be lost. Simon knew things that the rest of them didnt know. Simon had that spirit like way about him wich made him more of an inteligent person. When they kill Simon Ralph is the only one that later noticecs what they have actually done. They have killed someone because they are so crazy.

Jack in a way doesnt care because he is behind his mask. He isnt the real Jack. He is hiding the real him behind the mask. He has become more savage and filled with rage and he has taken control of the other boys in his group because of how savage he is.

Reading 3 of LOTF

This reading made even more connections to everyday life. The book is now connecting to modern day life more and more as the book progresses.


Jack is becoming more of a physo it seems like. He keeps the mask on and he walks around with his spear all the time. He is starting to do things his way or he doesnt do them at all. He has a group of other boys and they serve as the hunters of the colony. Jack is behind the mask so he isnt Jack right now; he is someone else. he is using it to brake away from the rules of society a little bit becasue there are no adults. Jack is more concerened about hunting and killing than he is getting off the island. Ralph on the other hand has his sights set on getting out of the aive and in good condition. He views this a a minor setback in life and it will be fixed in no time. Jack on the other hand wants to live in the forest and hunt and be a wild animal.

I just see Jack being the better leader out of him and Ralph. The little ones are not helping matters any because they wont do anything the most they is eat fruit and play in the sand

Reading 2 of Lord of The Flies

In this reading thoe boys are beginning to refelct more and more on todays society. For example; the small children are running around playing and the older boys are working. Ralph is supposed to be the leader of the boys and he has not taken charge yet. He thinks that because he said all these things have to be done the other boys will automatically do it. He needs to make the rules and tewll the younger kids whats going on.

This resembles todays society because if we didnt have a leader we would live in a chaotic place. There would be no order. Thats what the presidents job is in our society. He keeps everything running smooth in the government and wich in return makes other things in life go smoother.

I think that Jack would make a better leaader than Ralph. I think this because he is is more of a go getter than Ralph is. jack wants to get things done and take charge. I think he would make a good leader for this group of boys.

Chapter 1: Lord of The Flies, pages 1-32

Chapter 1 of the book was a real attention getter. it really made great points that you really have to pay attention to to understand. The book states in different ways how these events relate to real life situations.

For example; When the boys all come together after Ralph has blown the conch they demostrate a common socitety. The use a voting system to elect a leader of the group. In todays society they elect a leader wich we all know is he president who runs the country. They elected Ralph to be the leader because he was the one who brought them all together in the first place. Jakck on the other hand didnt get elected because of the way he said he should be the leader of the group. Jack has the personality of a leader on the outside, but on the inside he is no different from any of the other boys.

Another way they show a modern day societyis with the difference in social classes amoong the group pf boys. There are many different social classes among the boys. There are the boys who are big and strong and who will lead the group. Then there are the younger more imature kids that just follow the older ones so they would be the followers of the society they have goinng on the island. in modern day society there are the different social classes. in todays society there are the higher class people the middle class people and the people who are at the bottom.
