1526 Words7 Pages

Everything is quiet, almost too quiet, and you never know what’s watching you in a dark and deserted island. Fear consumed the boys in a way that made them do things they didn’t want to do. The boys crashed on an island, stranded with no adults, fighting for a chance to be rescued that turned into a fight to live. Lord of the Flies by William Golding expresses the meaning of civilization compared to savages. My publisher has requested me to write the sequel to Lord of the Flies about how Jack, Ralph, and Piggy would have changed when they got back home as a result of what happened on the island. In my sequel, A New Beginning, Jack, Ralph, and Piggy would have changed after their experience on the island because of the chaos, savagery, and …show more content…

As a matter of fact, the first huge mistake that Jack did was go hunting and let the fire go out when there was actually a ship nearby that could see the smoke. Ralph was so disappointed in him and never let Jack forget about it. As that being said, Jack feels unbelievably guilty about his decision to go hunting now that he has realized the importance of the signal fire. Although he felt bad about letting the signal fire go out, when Jack kills Piggy, Simon, and almost Ralph affected him tremendously once they were rescued. I think Jack would have some serious problems with how much guilt he felt for killing 2, nearly 3 people in the last couple of months.

Based on what happened during the time they were on the island, his bad decisions would affect his old life with him being ashamed and never forgive himself of what he had done.

The last page of the book shows that he already was feeling guilty when the officer came to the island. The officer came to the island because he saw the forest fire that Jack started to try to smoke out Ralph and kill him. Jack felt terrible and this is …show more content…

In the very first pages of the book, Lord of the Flies, Piggy had to go through some serious bullying from the kids. From calling him names to making fun of his asthma, Piggy held strong through it all and didn’t let the bullying knock him down. The bullying that went on in the island affected Piggy by giving him a tougher skin. Piggy was really sensitive at first, but then as the book goes on, he eventually learns to not care what other people think or say about him. Throughout the entire book, Piggy has treated the little uns’ as his children; in other ways Piggy is the one who is responsible for them. If Piggy would have lived, this little bit of leadership would have positively affected Piggy into becoming a better leader and a better person. Finally, even though Piggy didn’t stand up to Jack when he broke his specs, in chapter 11, Piggy walks to Jack’s tribe and demands Jack to return the specs that he stole. This shows that Piggy not only gained some self confidence, but also a back bone to standing up for himself throughout the chapters. As a matter of fact this this what Piggy planned to say before he marched to Jack’s tribe, “I just take the conch to say this. I can’t see no more and I got to get my glasses back. Awful things have been done on this island. I voted for you for chief. He’s the only
