Dear Roger, You should strongly consider joining our tribe. In our tribe, with the help of the conch, everyone is heard and considered so that everyone can be content with the decisions made. We share the conch so that everyone can talk and everyone that doesn’t have the conch has to listen. The conch provides a safety net so you don’t feel judged when talking. Jack’s tribe acts like savages and they have no order, they judge, and are mean to everyone else. Even though we aren’t “having fun” like Jack’s tribe claims they are, we want everyone to have a say in the decisions we make and in the things we do, we also care about the lives of others. Lastly, we want to act the most civilized and not be like savages, whereas Jack’s tribe immediately …show more content…

And what about the fire? And I’ve got the conch’-”(Lord Of The Flies Ch.9 Pg. 150) Jack and his tribe just care about having fun, which is understandable but at what cost? Jack couldn't care less about other people's feelings. With Ralph, we can help each other more and we can have more unity. In our tribe, your voice is important to us. We want to keep the peace as much as we possibly …show more content…

He makes sure that we can still have fun and live freely, but we keep decency. Jack would argue that having decency isn’t actually living freely, but acting like savages doesn’t benefit anyone and would ultimately make our lives more difficult. “After all, we aren’t savages really and being rescued isn’t a game” (Lord Of The Flies Ch.11 Pg. 170) For us, getting saved is of the utmost importance. Not only that, but also since there was a separation between our groups, we wanted to at least live in harmony with each other. Jack made that impossible. Jack's tribe may sound more fun, but in reality, you never know what could happen to you. They are savages and act out of pure id. We provide you with a safer and cleaner

He is very fearful of the lack of civility and scared by the hunters. He feels that civility and order, although the ideal route, was going to be crushed, and with it him: "We can't do this, the savages, they would crush us" (Golding 54). It is quite obvious how the potential evil in a group of young boys unavoidably arises due to the lack of restraint and order.

A strong parallel can be drawn between the island in Lord of the Flies and The Congo in The Heart of Darkness.
