Question

PLEASE HELP ME!?!?!?!?

Read the following prompt and type your response in the space provided.

One major theme in Lord of the Flies is that society falls apart when people do not follow its rules.

Choose Ralph or Simon to write about your response. Use evidence from the novel to explain how the character’s actions developed this theme

Then, explain why this is a universal theme, and give examples across different cultures that support your explanation.

Answer 1

At the beginning of the book, Ralph is the leader, he's the one keeping order and the peace. He is the one who made the boys build a signal fire. But Jack becomes a bully to him and others. Over time the boys began acting like savages. Jack uses the fear of the boys to overthrow Ralph. the overthrowing symbolized ending of the order. The boys now act like savages. The universal theme would be riots. Where a mass number of people try to overthrow or destroy government officials. When the US was leaving Britain in the eyes of Britain you could say it was denying the order over the colonies. That turned into a war over indecency.
