Lord of the Flies by Mette Mark https://padlet.com/mm13/k6zjmod2cxjw A paragraph for an essay. The paragraph must include a specific quote. en-us 2016-09-18 11:22:58 UTC 2016-09-26 10:49:37 UTC hello@padlet.com The end of Ralph  https://padlet.com/mm13/k6zjmod2cxjw/wish/124998118 At the end of the book William Golding sums up what the whole situation for Ralph and how it turned out: “And in the middle of them, with filthy body, matted hair, and unwiped nose, Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy”.  This sentence is almost the last sentence in William Golding’s novel. Ralph cries out all of his emotions and the terrible things he has been through. Ralph has lost his innocence for good. With all the horrible nightmares Ralph have experienced on the Island, he has witnessed truly evil and betrayal. A remarkable thing in this quote is also that he only mentions piggy and not Simon the reason why he does this is probably because Piggy was his only real friend on the Island and also his first.

And with Ralph and the others crying or weeping or weeping their guilt away with the innocence of a child's cry, they brought their innocence back when they realised their reality, not out of the hope of conscience from the men but from the light of a child’s heart.

The boys goes from being small children to grown adults. In the following quote it shows how the children evolve to being adults: 

“And in the middle of them, with filthy body, matted hair, and unwiped nose, Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy"

Some of the boys are killing, and some of them not. But they are all growing up on the Island and being adults. The quote “The end of innocence” means that the boys childhood (innocence) ends. The grown ups are ignorant and the man’s heart is dark. The children goes from having a light heart to a dark heart, and the boys get dark hearts because they have done some things on the island so they are not innocent anymore. According to William Golding every man will get a dark heart when the time of innocence ends.

Ralph wept for the end of innocence: It is not like he lost his innocence, it is more like he lost the idea that anyone is innocent. Ralph may have realized that he lost his best friend Piggy and the only innocent one on the Island. Also in the back of the book it says “The end of innocence: For the last time we are reminded of Eden. Is this justified?” Ralph understands that everyone is evil and he realizes he will never be “a child” again.
Williams attitude gets more clear in the quote.

The rescue wasn’t pure joy - the rescue was reality, consequences and suppressed emotions. At the end one must live with the consequences of ones actions. 

“And in the middle of them, with filthy body, matted hair, and unwiped nose, Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy.”

Piggy’s death symbolized the end of the remaining civilization and order. With him died kindness and hope;

“Ralph wept for the end of innocence”

He wept for Simon, Piggy and the end of innocence - Simon and Piggy being the innocent. Ralph realizes, that even though he might be rescued, he will never be the same again after meeting “the darkness of a man’s heart”, describing the hidden presence of evil instincts within humans.
