“Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of a man’s heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy.”(Golding 202).This is a quote that moved many in William Golding’s book Lord of the Flies. Ralph realized how terrible people can be when they let their true colors show. William Golding’s book points out the defects of society, for example the tension on the island that was caused by anger and how it can cause groups to separate and not get along anymore. He uses a popular theme to create security and appeal. This also adds to shock when he cracks down on his point on society. People are inherently bad at it.

Sexism happens to both females and males, both genders can be sexist to one another but females are usually the ones who get the worst of it.

People may experience “apathy” when dealing with depression and schizophrenia. Apathy and tension cause conflict and some conflict can go large scale. And sometimes people can be a huge cause of this disease. “Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of a man’s heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy.”(Golding 202). This quote brings dread that the bright story we were fooled to believe was actually a lesson that Golding deliberately told. People are terrible from the start. In the essay, we discussed proof of Golding’s book. We discussed gun violence, which is the top fifth reason people die. Pollution, not even on a global scale, causes millions of deaths. In Minneapolis, there are 72 homicides per year. Terrorism has affected millions in more than just
