It is full of great literary devices and themes, obvious or implicit, to be analysed by students of different skill levels. Mix that with the lesson that specifies that we are all capable of unspeakable things, and to be wiser and always look of civility in yourself.

It might also be because he came from  WWII and he wanted to explore the idea of what would happen when people are forced to come up with the decision of either survive ( but survive by becoming savage ), or die.]]> 2019-04-15 06:49:10 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_galvin17/2b9ft3ju88rm/wish/351574699 https://padlet.com/heather_galvin17/2b9ft3ju88rm/wish/351574700 one example of savagery is when jack starts arguing with the rest of the group as he isn't happy with the conch rules and wants to talk about only what he wants to do - Golding represents jack as an autocratic leader/government. the example is portrayed in the quotation "why should choosing make any difference? just giving orders that don't make any sense-"]]> 2019-04-15 06:49:11 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_galvin17/2b9ft3ju88rm/wish/351574700 https://padlet.com/heather_galvin17/2b9ft3ju88rm/wish/351574721 Lord of the Flies was a novel Sir William Golding wrote after serving in WWII, in order to portray the innate cruelty and evil that lay dormant - for the most part - within each and every human. Lord of the Flies is still relevant today since it serves as a reminder of what us as humans are capable of: feats originally unbeknownst to man, and works of art which are considered revolutionary - but also because it displays the extents that people will go to get what they want. As personified by Jack Merridew, those who lust for power and control over others may remain one with the crowd, but once order fails, they seize their chance and drive the weak willed of us - the followers, if you will - to the ground, to dig our own graves in the mistakes of not only our ancestors, but also of ourselves.]]> 2019-04-15 06:49:22 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_galvin17/2b9ft3ju88rm/wish/351574721 https://padlet.com/heather_galvin17/2b9ft3ju88rm/wish/351574722 Golding might have chosen to use the theme of savagery because he has seen many horific things that has changed his life. During the war he would have seen people he trusted change drastically in a short space in time, people he used to trust turn evil. This would have given him a great idea for the character, Jack. He might have made a character like Jack to make people think more about how the human race now act.]]> 2019-04-15 06:49:22 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_galvin17/2b9ft3ju88rm/wish/351574722 https://padlet.com/heather_galvin17/2b9ft3ju88rm/wish/351574723 LOTF is still relevant today due to the fact it conveys that without rules and social boundaries, humans would be savages. Rules ensure that everyone is safe and teaching it in schools and highlighting how wrong it is may help children understand how important rules really are. Despite how ridiculous or over the top they may be it is essential to follow them. It is also references the beast inside, we are animals and we are capable of animalistic tendencies. As shown by characters such as Jack when he acts vicious and predatory.]]> 2019-04-15 06:49:23 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_galvin17/2b9ft3ju88rm/wish/351574723 https://padlet.com/heather_galvin17/2b9ft3ju88rm/wish/351574743 Golding may have chosen the theme of savagery because he had experienced blood, death and savagery himself in war and that may have influenced his stories. Also the kids are stranded on an island with no adults to control them and they are slowly getting savage because they don't have much limitations and consequences to their actions.

Also, it gives the story a more realistic environment, as they are stranded one an island.

Jack is autocratic as he also disregards the rules set by the "leader" Ralph and and ignores his duties which costs the boys on the island a chance of being rescued.]]> 2019-04-15 06:49:47 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_galvin17/2b9ft3ju88rm/wish/351574779 https://padlet.com/heather_galvin17/2b9ft3ju88rm/wish/351574821 One of the most "savage" acts, were that they killed a pig. This is seen to be savage and ruthless. Jack is determined to kill the pig- showing his intent for survival.

He might have wanted people to have a better understanding of the pressures and dilemmas he was facing in WW2. He could have been inspired by his experience in war and wanted people to understand the problems he faced - lack of order, blood lust, autocratic leaders, death, distruction. Some examples of these problems that he included in the book include: the death of the boy with the birthmark, the killing of the first pig, Jack ignoring others.]]> 2019-04-15 06:50:20 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_galvin17/2b9ft3ju88rm/wish/351574859 https://padlet.com/heather_galvin17/2b9ft3ju88rm/wish/351574879 In the first chapter Jack started to show us his savage side by arguing with all the other children on the island and being a autocratic dictator by not listening to any of their ideas 
Another example of Jack's savagery is when he saw the pig in the forest and he was determined to hunt it down no matter what and that showed us how his blood-lust intent for survival.

Jack is slowly turning more uncivilised throughout the story and he'll keep changing until hes a savage uncontrollable child.]]> 2019-04-15 06:50:31 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_galvin17/2b9ft3ju88rm/wish/351574879 https://padlet.com/heather_galvin17/2b9ft3ju88rm/wish/351575017 Lord of the Flies is still relevant today because it illustrates the true nature of men. The central focus of the lord of the flies is the conflict between two conflicting impulses that exist in human beings. There's the instinct to live by the rules and the instinct to give in to our selfish desires. This conflict might be expressed in a number of ways like civilization vs. savagery. Some other books that are similar to lord of flies like treasure island are not as realistic as lord of the flies since they portray being stuck on an island as a fun, light hearted adventure.]]> 2019-04-15 06:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_galvin17/2b9ft3ju88rm/wish/351575017 https://padlet.com/heather_galvin17/2b9ft3ju88rm/wish/351575022 LOFT is still relevant to this day and taught in schools because it possesses really important messages such as that all humans have a savage side that they conceal in civilization. It teaches us the importance of listening to others opinions (teamwork) and how you can be influenced easily by the environment and people surrounding you. Golding might have used to portray this to show the horrors of bloodlust in WW2 he might have even used Jack to portray himself when he was losing the idea if civilization and entranced by bloodlust and war.]]> 2019-04-15 06:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_galvin17/2b9ft3ju88rm/wish/351575022 https://padlet.com/heather_galvin17/2b9ft3ju88rm/wish/351575057 Golding might have chosen the theme of savagery because he wanted to show people how quickly people can change from his experience while fighting in world war 2 . jack ]]> 2019-04-15 06:52:34 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_galvin17/2b9ft3ju88rm/wish/351575057 https://padlet.com/heather_galvin17/2b9ft3ju88rm/wish/351575390 When Roger is introduced he is shown to be savage as he starts off by throwing stones and hurling them at another boy at the island.
