Use evidence from EITHER the novel or the Bible to support your theory srshaeffer https://padlet.com/srshaeffer/yth4alux0vns/wish/341794882 1) In the Testament of Solomon "Beelzebul (not Beelzebub) appears as prince of the demons (Beelzebub). I think that this relates to Jack because he is the leader of the hunters, which are like the demons because they enjoy killing the pigs.

2) In theological sources "Beelzebub sometimes another name for the Devil, similar to Satan (Beelzebub). This also represents Jack because he is mean to all of the other boys and only cares for himself. is also evil like Satan because of his desire to kill.

3) In the Hebrew Bible, Beelzebub is translated literally as "lord of the flies" (Beelzebub). This relates to the book because first of all, the books named Lord of the Flies, and because the boys represent the pests.

Use evidence from EITHER the novel or the Bible: srshaeffer https://padlet.com/srshaeffer/yth4alux0vns/wish/341794883 1) The island represents the Garden of Eden because the Lord God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die." (Genesis 2:15). This is showing that people are good until they learn the ways of evil. This relates to the lotf because everything was good but then when on of the boys got the urge to kill (Jack) it stared to go down hill. 

2) The lotf is also like the Garden of Eden because the Lord God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." (Genesis 3:21). This is like how Jack already sees and does evil, and because of that, he doesn't deserve to eat and live. And especially not forever. 

3) As with the beautiful island the boys are on, 'the Lord God had planted a paradise of pleasure* (Genesis 2:8), and this paradise is like the island because at the beginning the boys were having fun cause who doesn't like a beach with no parents around.

Use evidence from EITHER the novel or the Bible: srshaeffer https://padlet.com/srshaeffer/yth4alux0vns/wish/341794884 1) The Beelzebub from the bible represents the beast and in the story the beast represents the boys on the island.

2) For example in the bible the Beelzebub is another name for the devil and just like the beast in the lotf it represents evil on the island just like the devil does in the bible.  

3) Another example of how Beelzebub relates to the book is that the creature is known as the "Lord of the Flyers" or "Lord of the Flies" which is the title of the book written by William Golding.

4) For example in the book Lord of the Flies Simon says this about the beast, "Maybe there is a beast... maybe it's only us" (Golding 78).
