Use evidence from EITHER the novel or the Bible to support your theory ajmisnik https://padlet.com/ajmisnik/tb1njr75lb11/wish/342207329 The "snake-thing" recalls the presence of Satan in the Garden of Eden, who disguised himself as a serpent. "Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Indeed, has God said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?" (Genesis 3:1)

On the positive side, Simon's story is that of a prophet or of Jesus Christ. Simon is deeply spiritual, compassionate, non-violent, and in harmony with the natural world. "Then, amid the roar of bees in the afternoon sunlight, Simon found for them the fruit they could not reach, pulled off the choicest from up in the foliage, passed them down to the endless, outstretched hands." (Golding 43). This represents Jesus feeding the thousands of people in the Bible.


Jack attempting to validate himself as leader since he was the lead choir boy is referenced as an act of the Devil in the Bible. "And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light." (Corinthians 11:14)

Use evidence from EITHER the novel or the Bible: ajmisnik https://padlet.com/ajmisnik/tb1njr75lb11/wish/342207331 The first pig being killed is representative of how Adam and Eve's disobedience to God causes them to become sinners. They start to become evil when they chant Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Spill her blood. The first kill is the original sin. "You were blameless in your ways From the day you were created Until unrighteousness was found in you. "By the abundance of your trade You were internally filled with violence, And you sinned; Therefore I have cast you as profane From the mountain of God. And I have destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the stones of fire. "Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; You corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor I cast you to the ground; I put you before kings, That they may see you." (Ezekiel 28:15-17)

The boys on the island are the herd of pigs, and the demons are begging Jesus to send them to corrupt them. 
Suddenly they shouted, “What do You have to do with us, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?” Now a long way off from them, a large herd of pigs was feeding. “If You drive us out,” the demons begged Him, “send us into the herd of pigs.”

(Matthew 8:29-31)

Use evidence from EITHER the novel or the Bible: ajmisnik https://padlet.com/ajmisnik/tb1njr75lb11/wish/342207332 Simon speaking with the sow's head is representative of the Devil tempting Eve to eat an apple from the Garden of Eden. the sow's head represents Beelzebub. "…but of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You must not eat of it or touch it, or you will die.’” “You will not surely die,” the serpent told her. “For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”… (Genesis 3:4)

The Devil (Beelzebub) is also represented as the evil that Simon claims is inside all of the boys, aka the Beast. "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places]." (Ephesians 6:12)

Another example of the boys accepting Beelzebub into their bodies is by not working together and coming to form a single cause. The hunters who follow Jack are submitting themselves to the Devil. According to Zephaniah this will lead to ultimate chaos. “I will bring distress on mankind, so that they shall walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the Lord; their blood shall be poured out like dust, and their flesh like dung.” (Zephaniah 1:17)
