Just as many of these songs relate to hope in some way, so does this one. While the whole experience for the boys on the island was very dark and savage, this song is very tranquil and peaceful. I think that this song fits in week when Simon would go to his hiding spot in the woods away from everyone. He needed time to think and process things that were happening. In the song the lyrics "When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom Let it be And in my hour of darkness She is standing right in front of me Speaking words of wisdom Let it be" and I see this as Simon reflecting. He would go to his hiding spot "in times of trouble" and the Lord of the Flies would speak to him telling him that it would all be alright in the end.

At the end of the novel when Jack sets the island on fire to smoke out Ralph, I see this song as a good indicator of what is going on. The song starts with "This is the end Hold your breath and count to ten Feel the earth move and then Hear my heart burst again" and I think this resembles the feelings that Ralph is having when he realizes that Jack was trying to smoke him out, he thought he was going to die. Later on in the song it says "Let the sky fall When it crumbles We will stand tall Face it all together" and I see this as the island is falling apart with the fire that Jack started and that no matter what the boys will have to deal with it together because they are the only ones there. The power of this song is what really makes this scene in the book real for me because the song itself is very strong. This whole scene was very on edge and it seemed as if it was all going to end. This song really fits in the perspective of Ralph because all he could do was literally watch the sky fall.

While on the island the boys are much like  renegades. They have been set aside from the rest of the civilizations in England and are forced to make their own. The opening to the song "Run away with me Lost souls and reverie Running wild and running free Two kids, you and me" really fits the situation that all the boys are in because there was a time in the book where all the boys wanted to do was run wild and free. Not only that, but the song also emphasizes the fact that they are children. Another set of lyrics are "Go forth and have no fear Come close the end is near" and I think this ties in with when the boys started to get riled up about the Beastie. They kept telling each other to not be scared and to just go hunt the beast and that they would see an end to the terror.

Through the whole novel Piggy is bullied and thrown aside by various characters. I think this song fits him well because while he is so broken down by the other boys he knows he has to carry on. Some lyrics in the song are “Carry in my wayward son, there’ll be peace when you are done” and these lyrics fit in with Piggy well because while he carried on until the end, he was brought to peace by his death. The drive of the song also makes me see Piggy because although he is quiet and timid he is obviously way more mature than the others so this makes me think of his push to get through to the others. Carry on my Wayward Son to me just connects with the idea of not giving up no matter all the odds that are put again you, and I don’t see anything more fit for Piggy.

Jyn Erso & Hope Suite - Michael Giacchino

This piece features in the Star Wars story Rouge One. This piece plays while the ending of movie isn’t playing and the planet is being destroyed, killing everyone on it. Although the ending is very sad and it resembles the entirety of death in the movie, the message with the Death Star plans got to the rebel’s and that is the “hope” that is getting through even in the darkest of times. This ties in with the novel because even though the time spent on the island was filled with savagery and death, there was always a bit of hope, even hthough it was small. I see this piece fit in the moments leading up to the boys being rescued.

The message of this song is to stop using what others say to judge someone. I see this as a song fit for the things that Piggy goes through. Since he told Ralph his nickname of "Piggy" at the very beginning of the novel he had been bullied for his looks and disabilities. This song reminds people that even when someone says something about someone else you should "use discretion" when they talk about people behind their back because you don't know their story. In the song it also has a little message for people that are bullied that it will be okay in the end and I think that really needed to be said to Piggy.

Thistle & Weeds is about having hope through bad times. There were many instances in LOTF where the boys would lose hope about surviving and making it back home. The importance of this song to the novel is that it shows the hope the boys must've had to get back (before they turned into savages). The song repeatedly says "I will hold on" and gets more forceful as it continues to be said so when I hear that I think of Ralph, Piggy, and Simon in particular being strong and telling themselves that no matter what, they have to keep their hope. When the lyrics "But plant your hope with good seeds Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds" are said, I see this as the boys needed to keep their hope and grow it but they can't just cover it with thistles and weeds because it will be destroyed.

This song talks about the beauty of nature and how the simple things of it are beautiful. In relation to LOTF, I see this song fit to beginning of the novel when the island is being described. It is described as beautiful and so many features are that of paradise, but at the same time the island is described as a little scary. I think this song fits because while the lyrics are speaking of nature as beautiful, the music in the back is very dark and mysterious. You can feel the sense of darkness in the song much like you can feel the darkness coming from the island.

When I hear this song I think about when Ralph was telling the boys that they needed to obey his rules. He got very angry and was very harsh and the nature of this song is very strong. In the lyrics he will say "First things first" and "Second things second" it resembles Ralph listing his rules and expectations. In this section Ralph also found a bit of power inside himself and realized that he needed to be more of a leader. This song just resembles the power that Ralph found inside himself when he realized that the boys were too focused on playing games.

In this song, “Ophelia” represents fame. I believe this is a good song that fits Jack. He is very self absorbed and enjoys being the leader. In the song, the lyrics “Oh, Ophelia, you've been on my mind girl like a drug” represent how the “fame” that Jack is feeling from the boys once Ralph is not seen as a leader anymore is started to take over him, much like a drug. When it says “Oh, Ophelia, heaven help a fool who falls in love” I see this as warning that being so self absorbed (like Jack) will ruin you and whoever falls in love with that need for fame will need help.

Danse Macabre in G Minor, Op. 40 - Camille Saint-Saens

Danse Macabre translated to Dance of Death from French. This piece is meant to express the Devil rising the dead and his skeletons dancing along to his fiddle. When I listen to this piece in regards to the book I see this as the rising of savagery in the boys. At the beginning of the piece it is very timid and calm, just like in the book. Then after a period of time the Devil is awakened in the piece (represented by the tritone) very subtly and in the novel, the boys begin to find the evil savage ways in them. After the piece is introduced to the Devil, there is a period of calm, I believe this represents when Ralph spoke to the boys and tried to explain that they needed rules and order, but right after that the boys continue to be crazy and the savagery grows, just as after the calm in music it just gets loud and the Devil returns. The piece continues with loud tritones and melodies, which to me represents the craziness and death that arises with the boys towards the end of the novel. What is really interesting is that Danse Macabre ends with a calm, eerie section (Grave) that is very quiet and I see this as the closing of the novel when the British soldiers come to get the boys and then it just ends.

This song represents the big storm that happened in the novel and how violent it was by the lyrics “I'm a rolling thunder, a pouring rain, I'm coming on like a hurricane, My lightning's flashing across the sky”. I also think that this song just represents a overall view of the book and the conditions that the boys were in. Other lyrics in the song include “You're only young but you're gonna die” showing that death is still among the boys even though they are young, like the death of Piggy and Simon. I also saw that they lyrics “If you're into evil you're a friend of mine” represented the hunters and their need to hunt and kill. They initially started the violence with their harsh ways are were technically evil.
