The Lord of the Flies, A book by William Golding, was influenced greatly by the surroundings of the author. His surroundings affected his logic, his emotions, and his credibility. Because of the outside influence he was recorded as saying, “...man produces evil as a bee produces honey...”. In this quote he is stating that all a human will ever do is cause and create evil.

It seems to me I am trying to tell you a dream — making a vain attempt, because no relation of dream can convey the dream-sensation… No, it is impossible; it is impossible to convey the life-sensation of any given epoch of one’s existence — that which makes its truth, its meaning — its subtle and penetrating essence. It is impossible” (Conrad, P.24). In addition to the collection of absurd events and imagery Marlow encountered, the surreality of Marlow’s adventure is also due to the ineffable feelings intermingled together. Under the emotions and feelings that is incapable for expression, lies Marlow’s inability to make sense of his own feelings.
Mac badly beat the boy who was encouraged to burn the barn, but then felt remorse for doing so.

In this quote, Holling speaks about how Mrs. Baker gave him an exceedingly complicated sentence to diagram, while the other students received fairly simple sentences. The sentence that he was given seemed to be so long and so complex that it appeared that even the man “who wrote it couldn’t diagram it,” which displays that the sentence is clearly very intricate. This quote is definitely a distinct reason why Holling might assume Mrs. Baker hates him. Since Mrs. Baker provided a much more complex sentence to him than she did for the rest of class, that shows that Mrs. Baker wants to almost “torture” Holling.

Jim’s ability to oversee what he was, shows how deep and sophisticated Jim’s character is. Jim’s move to maturity is also signifyingly evident, Jim’s nature of being a man before his time is shown through his way of viewing the war after his involvement in the Great War. “The world when you looked from both sides was quite other than a placid, slow-moving dream, without change of climate or colour and a time and place for all.” (pg. 103). Jim’s character has grown up from his innocence, his has lost his vison of a beautiful world, and has shown that all the beauty of nature has no place in a war.
Abraham Maslow, an American psychologist, declared that “If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail”. In Golding’s Lord of the Flies, set during the wartime era of the 1950s, a group of British school children crash land on a deserted island. While their first concern is to gather supplies to survive, today’s priorities have grown into much more, causing SOCIETY to under-appreciate the privileges we have. In Western Civilization today, Golding would be disappointed to see that unlike most post-world war youth who faced severe hardship, modern American individuals magnify their small problems as a result of taking for granted the simple luxuries that Abraham Maslow has established, like resources that the
“He told me all this very much later, but I’ve put it down here with the idea of exploding those first wild rumors about his antecedents, which weren’t even faintly true.
