Use at least THREE to FIVE pieces of evidence from each text. Include citations for each quote. LOTF: (Golding 23) Bible: (Genesis 2:14) en-us 2019-03-14 16:22:57 UTC 2019-03-16 20:54:27 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Apple.png Other Biblical evidence: jaburger https://padlet.com/jaburger/m2a2n0yt8vnv/wish/341416064 1) An allegory in the book is breaking one of the 10 commandments, being "Thou shalt not steal" (Exodus 20:17),  when Jack raides the main camp and steals their fire. 

2) A big allegory is that Simon represents Jesus. In The Bible, it says "Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the people." (Matthew 14:19) This is similar to how Simon would take fruit from the trees and give it to the younger children.


3) The last biblical allegory is at the beginning of the book when Ralph takes off all his clothes and bathes in a pool of water, representing baptism and and washing away all the sins in his past. "And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name." (Acts 22:16)

The boys in the book are shameless when they are naked, because there is no society to hold them back, just like Adam and Eve.

2)  In The Fall of Man, it states: 'Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done? "The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” (Genesis 13) In Lord of The Flies, a child says he had seen a snake like monster. This snake is an allegory for deception, which was being foreshadowed as the boys eventually split up and try to deceive each other.

3)  "And I will put enmity  between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head,   and you will strike his heel.” (Genesis 15) The final allegory from The Fall of Man found in Lord of The Flies is the fact that the boys are always fighting the beast that was originally called a snake, like how God cursed humans and snakes to always be enemies.

2) In Judaism, the king of Israel was injured and sends messengers to Beelzebub to see if he would recover, and used his assistance to heal. When an angel found this out, he told the king; "From the bed upon which you have ascended you will not descend, for you shall die." (2 kings 1:2) In the book, young children use the bathroom wherever they want and don't help build shelters, and are punished by having to live in filth and lacking shelters. The lesson is that if you do something wrong to do less work, you will be punished.

3) "Sebastien Michaelis associated Beelzebub with the deadly sin of pride." (Luke 11:14–26). This is another allegory in Lord of The Flies, all of the characters who hunt, even Ralph, take great pride in killing and taking life from animals. Because Christians believed Beelzebub represented the sin of pride, the fact that the boys are proud of killing shows that there is evil in all of them.
