Civilization Vs Savagery Essay

Lord Of The Flies Essay Humans have been on this earth for thousands of years. Time is one of the many factor that has crafted us into the people we see today. In order for the human race to transfer from the beginning of our existence to now, some extraordinary changes were vital to form our modern day society.What would happen if the modern day society that we have created disappeared from the population? Assuming that people lost all order and returned to our ancient behaviors (Gerund phrase), would certainly cause a disaster. Savagery would take over once again. Who 's to say that savagery has ever left us? Maybe savagery has always been with us, and we have covered it up with a false sense of rules(Compound Sentence).

When the airplane pilot falls from the sky, the boys believe that the man is a terrifying beast. The beast, which was just a man falling from a parachute, fall from the sky, and scared all of the boys(Compound Complex).This is the first time Ralph crosses paths with savagery. The boys begin to talk about going out and killing the beast. Ralph agrees that they should kill the beast and declares they will look for the beast in the woods, “If the beast isn 't there we’ll go up the mountain and look;”(Golding 103).With no actual proof that a beast exists except a few misconstrued interpretations of something odd, it makes no sense to go out ready to kill.

This shows how he still has a little bit of civilization in him. Next, Jack 's group got word that Ralph could be hiding by castle rock. Knowing this, Jack had rocks on top yelling of his fort ready to crush Ralph. When Jack thinks he sees a sigh of Ralph he exclaims, “Heave! Heave! Heave!”(Golding 193).
