Savagery Court System

The savage system of order in “Lord of the Flies” and the court system of “To Kill a Mocking Bird” both display that no matter what rulings will always be injustice. Today the books we will be looking at is “Lord of the Flies” by William Golding and “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee. In “Lord of the Flies” the book is based on savagery where children have to fend for themselves. “To Kill a Mockingbird” the book is about court systems, where little evidence, he said she said plays a big role. Let’s begin, what is savagery? How would you say it defines society back then and today? Savagery is cruel or violent behavior; it is a part of us that we never really show a part that no one likes to see. In “Lord of the Flies” it was a utopian estate,

He suggests that law and rescue is better than hunting and breaking things up. Roger pushes a huge rock off the cliff and onto Piggy. The rock falls from the cliff and strikes him, smashing the conch, and knocking him off the forty-foot embankment. Piggy lands below on out-jutting rock and his head smashes, the contents of his skull oozing out onto the rocks”(William Golding, chapter 11). Choosing this quote for savagery shows that the person in charge did what he needed to do to the people that didn’t want to follow. Court system have been around for as long as we can imagine. In “To Kill a Mockingbird,” the book is based on court systems and how they solved a case, Slavery was still very big along with racism when this book was written. Tom Robinson was the Ewell’s gardener he was a very hard working man and did everything he was told. One day Mayella Ewell told him “bush up this chiffarobe for me, I’ll pay you a nickel, I went into the house to get him his nickel an ‘fore I knew it he was on me.” Mayella was described to be fragile-looking, but her fragility was more mental than anything. She went around and told everyone that Tom Robinson had sexually assaulted and beat her. Back the 60s if an African American was accused of doing something like this they are found guilty without evidence. Everyone in town though Tom was guilty, Atticus Finch was going to do his very best to

Lord of the flies the kids suffered a lot to get what they needed and in the time they needed to get it, “Which is better--to have laws and agree, or to hunt and kill?” “We did everything adults would do. What went wrong?” with being on an island they’ve never been on before with no adults they didn’t how to hunt or kill before they got on that island they went to school, they had to learn everything on self-taught. When things were going downhill they didn’t know how to fix it or how to make things better so instead they just kept doing what they were doing. Society when we think about it, what has changed? Will it ever change? In 70 years what has pushed society to not change? Court systems, prisons, power and corruption why hasn’t anything changed? When we look at history and today its kind of repeating itself when Nixon became president in 1913 the African Americans were being treated very poorly white people would beat them for being in the same crowd as them trying to listen to what the president had to say.
