How Does Golding Present Fear In Lord Of The Flies

Have you ever felt too scared to speak your mind because every time you do someone makes fun of you or calls you cruel names? Can you imagine getting stuck on an island with no adult to help me survive? Would you be able to survive? The book the Lord of the Flies was written by William Golding. In the beginning of the story a group of school boys from England are in a plane that crashes onto an island, but they all fell in different areas of the island. The school boys main focus was to survive and get rescued. While Piggy and Ralph were looking for the other boys that also fell onto the island they saw a conch. Then Piggy had suggested to Ralph that he should blow into the conch to help them call for the other boys. They selected someone to

An example of how he was scared is in the beginning when he was talking to Ralph. While they were walking around the island to figure out where the other boys were and they were talking to evaluate if they really were on an island. Then Piggy mentions the pilot and and if they was any adults also on the island. Ralph basically told him no and his reaction was “No grownups!” (Golding 2).

This would make anyone feel isolated because every time they try to help or speak they get shut

Piggy’s glasses connects to his integrity because he acted like his true self when he had them on. Also as shown here by the way he instantly reacted to Ralph.

He thought Piggy was going to just let it go and not do anything, but “Piggy beat the water with his hand” onto Ralph (Golding 131). Piggy demonstrates the lesson he learns because if Ralph had done this in the beginning of the book Piggy would 've just taken it or try to ask him to stop. However instead Piggy felt he had to
