Use evidence from EITHER the novel or the Bible to support your theory spmccloskey https://padlet.com/spmccloskey/u3s1dbo4vgqw/wish/342205202 1) Simon represents Eve. In the bible Eve is gullible and believes everything Satan says about eating the apples from the wrong tree, and Simon is believing everything that LOTF is saying. "This is ridiculous. You know perfectly well you'll only meet me down there- so don't try to escape!" (Golding 143)

2) Jack represents Satan. He wants everybody to listen and follow him and manipulates everybody into believing whatever he wants them to. He makes sure he gets what he wants and he gets more than everybody else. "... Rodger can snatch a branch while I say what I want. The rest of you can get this back to where we were." (Golding 136)

3) The littuns represent the people in the bible who look up to God. They looked up to the older boys, but were scared of the older ones as well. They are intimidated by them because they are more powerful. The littuns were easily corruptible. "... rushed out howling, so that the littuns fled screaming." (Golding 140)

EXAMPLE: The parachuter could represent Lucifer, the archangel who was cast out of heaven for his war with God when "the great dragon was hurled down--that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him" (Revelation 12:9). The parachuter fell down to the island right after Ralph asked for a sign from grownups, and the island turned to darkness the moment the corpse appeared.

3) "Demonic figures with faces of white and red and green rushed out howling..." (Golding 140

Use evidence from EITHER the novel or the Bible: spmccloskey https://padlet.com/spmccloskey/u3s1dbo4vgqw/wish/342205204 1) Simon names the pig head The Lord of the Flies 
This is also the title of the book and translates to Beelzebub which is either the demon or the devil himself. (Golding 107)

2) "Simon's mouth labored, brought forth audible words. "Pig's head on a stick." (Golding 143) Simon makes the connection between the Pig's head and Beelzebub.


3) "Piggy placed it  (the conch) in Ralph's hand and the littuns, seeing the familiar symbol started to come back" (Golding 141) The conch was what was left of their civilization and once they had seen it, hope and realization had started to come back.
