Song: Savages by Marina and the Diamonds

# data[].attributes.body
This song relates to Lord of the Flies because the lyrics are about the cruel nature of humanity. Lyrics such as "Underneath it all, we’re just savages, hidden behind shirts, ties, and marriages" and "I’m not afraid of God, I am afraid of man" tie into the book especially well. The boys are all seemingly normal at first but they slowly start to become more violent and cruel, relating to the first set of lyrics. The second set of lyrics relates to when Simon thinks that the beast may actually be a human in chapter six.

One rhetorical device used in Lord of the Flies is metaphors. The metaphors in Lord of the Flies expand upon the uneasy atmosphere of the island and the struggles the boys face. They add to the overall grim mood of the narration.
