Lord Of The Flies Argumentative Essay

Essay Outline:
“There is no one who is completely evil as to lack some goodness in him(Bangambiki Habyarimana). Lord of The Flies is a dystopian novel written by Willam G. Golding, which follows the story of a bunch of boys alone on an Island. With inspiration from the novel Coral Island, he revamped the story with a more realistic approach. The novel follows all the boys but particularly Ralph, Jack, Piggy, and Simon on their journey to survive on the island.

Simon's murder just served as the spark for the savages to unleash their rampage. After everyone else left for Jack's tribe and Ralph and Piggy were left alone on the island, the two decided to head to Castle Rock to restore order and peace. As soon as they got there, Piggy and Jack engaged in an argument that ended in death. After Roger pushed the boulder down, “The Rock struck Piggy with a glancing blow from chin to knee…”, and “See?
