Insanity In Lord Of The Flies

Engulfed By Sanguinity

There are very thin line between insanity and sanity, inhumanity and humanity, abnormal and normal; all connect with the same idea that this concept is fragile and can easily be manipulated to either or. Slowly anyone can surpass these thin lines with a great amount of obstacles. This makes it safe to say that all humans are innately savage. There’s only one piece of evidence that really supports all of this, and that is Lord of The Flies by William Golding. This book glides you into tragedy, where a chaotic plane crash led to only kids for survivors. Suspensefully, the readers see how slowly, most of the boys lose their sense of mind.

Where Ralph and Piggy [who still wear some sort of their school clothes] simply eat fruit, make shelters and making fire with Piggy’s specs. However they are interfered by Jack’s “tribe” as they steal the specs to make fire instead of simply asking, which

Innocent civilized children became mad lunatics. From all voting for a leader to them separating and going against each other. From introducing their names to the murder of two. There is a strict thin line that can easily be crossed from civility to savagery or vice versa, based on the certain situations.
