The Lord of the Flies

Lord of the Flies

The Lord of the Flies, is the story of a group of boys who are stranded on an unknown island when their plane crashes. As the boys try to formulate a plan to get rescued, they begin to fight, and a band of crazy hunters is formed. Eventually the boys almost entirely shake off the civilization of the world they once knew. When all the confusion of behavior. Which also brings out the underlying savage side existent in every human.

ЁThere aren't any grown-ups. We shall have to look after ourselves.Ё1 The Innocence and the Loss of It is the existence of civilization that allows man to remain in captivity with his innocence or ignorance about his true nature. Although man needs civilization, it is also important that he be aware of his primal instincts. ЁI'm not going to be part of Ralph's lot----Ё He looked along the right-hand logs, numbering the hunters that had been a choir. ЁI'm going off by myself. He can catch his own pigs. Anyone who wants to hunt when I do can come too.Ё He blundered out of the triangle towards the drop to the white sand.2

In Lord of the Flies, there were numerous themes that were portrayed throughout the book. The Need for Civilization, is the most obvious lesson. We are made to believe that we are not bad but the world is bad. But this should have a greater impact on us the young ones that without laws, rules, and order, our world would revert to a much harsher world. Which of course is a bad and cruel place to live our lives.
