Lord of the Flies Section: Book Reports
Six Fear of the Unknown evolves around the boys making attempts to catch the beast. As the story unravels the reader realizes that put in a position to capture a beast you are struck with a certain flash of light that gives you these negative effects on the nature of evil. The power of fear in Lord of the Flies is hidden deep within in some characters but in others it is portrayed as their characteristic. Fear is a deep meaning and we can always relate to it no matter our situation. 'Last night I had a dream, a horrid dream, fighting with things. I was outside the shelter by myself, fighting with things, those twisty things in the trees.' He paused, and the other littleluns laughed in horrified sympathy. 'Then I was frightened and I woke up. And I was outside the shelter by myself in the dark and the twisty things had gone away.' 7 Instinct to be a Follower, if you believe that another person is superior to you and or the others you have this instant reaction to stay quiet and follow the one person who isn`t afraid to speak and has this strength deep within. As most LEADERS would react they think the world owes them something, but as a matter of fact they owe the world something else, respect, loyalty and strength. to guide the others into making a good choice and to see the better side of life. In Lord of the Flies, Ralph the leader indeed tried to portray such this thing. But Jack, the would-be leader lours them away by side tracking them with a feast of meat. The children who are starving for some real meat follow but to their dismay loose almost all civilization because of the savageness they have within. This shows that you might follow someone who has the ability to believe to be superior and forget the civilized world behind for they do not want to be an outcast and fear rejection in an unknown place. 'Who is going to join my tribe?' Ralph made a sudden movement that became a stumble. Some of the boys turned towards him. 'I gave you food,'said Jack, 'and my hunters will protect you from the beast. Who will join my tribe?''8′Who`ll join my tribe?' 'I will' 'Me' 'I will' 9 Piggy touched Ralphs wrist. 'Come away. There`s going to be trouble. And we`ve had our meat.' 10 Lord of the Flies concludes by them being rescued by a Naval Officer, the novel was an experience in it`s own, you`d be surprised of what you learn by reading. The novel was a story that was meant to be read in between the lines, it demonstrates the effect civilization has on us and our evil within. I hope you enjoyed it as well as I have.
