In life people are either leaders or followers. My opinion of a leader is someone who shows independence and does what is right. In William Golding's Lord of the Flies, he shows a group of boys stranded on an island. As time goes on, the boys become savages fighting for the right to be chief. Simon shows the best traits of a leader, because he often goes off on his own path showing his independence.
Without knowing the source of the evil, the lord of the flies, there is no meaning behind the change in the boys’ behavior. In the movie’s portrayal of Simon was very different then what was in the book. In the book he
Notes from the Island Day 1: Today I found myself in a strange place, an island I suppose. I think the plane I was riding plane crashed and that’s how I ended up here.

In the novel “Lord of the Flies” by William Golding the ultimate one responsible for the destruction of the island is Jack. In the novel Golding has wrote about how a group of british boys crashed on a plane and landed on a island where there are no adults,just little british boys stranded on a island .In the beginning one of the boys Ralph was the responsible leader where he knew what to do an how to manage. But of course there was this one cureles jealous boy that wanted to be a leader,the one in charge. Because of how ruthless and savage Jack was he took the fear that the boys had within them and used it against them to make them join his tribe which started the destruction of the island.
Civilization means to be a part of a culture, to have a leader who takes power, and to be apart of orderly society. In the novel The Lord of the Flies by William Golding, Simon is the most civilized boy on the island because he has the most positive outlook out of every boy on the island, he is insightful of what and where the beast is, and, he is the first to realize most of the problems that occur on the island. Simon has the most positive outlook out of every boy on the island. Simon insisted multiple times that the boys would get rescued, even when Ralph strongly doubted the possibility.
There is no exact time for how long the boys have been on the island, but Golding provides hints that express how long the boys have been there. In the first scene of the chapter, Golding reveals the extended length of time spent on the island through Jacks’ hunt. As Jack crouches in the jungle, his senses notice “the faintest indication of a trail here; a cracked twig and what might be the impression of one side of a hoof” (Golding 48). Jacks senses are honed enough that he can detect the tiniest possible print of only half of a hoof. He is so in tune with the island that he can recognize something only an experienced hunter could detect.
In the biblical text of Matthew, the messiah Jesus Christ is betrayed by his disciple Judas, and sentenced to crucifixion by the Roman people. Jesus acts as a martyr, for his death lead to the forgiveness of the sin in all people. In Lord of the Flies, Simon is perceived originally as a Christ-type figure, whose spiritual presence is so strong it is seen by the boys as “batty”. Although readers may originally believe Simon is also a martyr, his vulgar “resurrection” and and exacerbation of the boys violence indicates he does not fit the christ-figure archetype. During chapter 8, Simon speaks to the pig head left by Jack and his tribe, and realises the true beast is the evil within man.
Chapter 11- Lord of the Flies 1 paragraph Summary Jack goes full evil and orders his tribe of savages to capture Sam and Eric, to start a war between Ralph and himself. Piggy and Ralph went to go get Sam and Eric back and to try and reason with Jack, so that Piggy can have his glasses back. Piggy of course being himself interrupted the two of them and tried to call a meeting with the conch, but Roger decided that there was not going to be a meeting and pushed a boulder at them. The boulder shatters the conch, a symbol of the civilized and orderly world, and it knocks Piggy off of the cliff and instantly to his death as Ralph barely dodged the boulder. Everyone stands in shock until Jack and Ralph start fighting verbally as they start talking
Thesis Statement: In Lord of the Flies William Golding throughout the book is trying to show you that society should recognize man is evil. Introduction Paragraph: In the book Lord of the Flies the author William Golding shows a group of boys losing their innocence throughout their life stuck on this inhabited island in the pacific ocean. These boys go from being quiet and shy to violent and dangerous young little boys. Golding uses the pigs, hunting, and the boys face painting to show their lose of innocence throughout the story. There 's no rules of any sort on this island these boys landed on they are free to do whatever they want whenever they want.
Despite the sinful acts that the boys commit during their occupation of the paradise, Simon, whom Golding characterizes as a Christ-like figure, manages to remain pure of the others’ evil nature. Simon attempts to convince the others of the virtues of Christianity, only to fail as a result of the impulsive, essentially fallen nature of mankind. As the others become terrified because a beast might come out of the water, Simon tries to explain “'Shut up!' Ralph shouted. ' Hear him!
Ralph is perceived as a natural born leader who can easily persuade the littluns and the rest of the boys on the island to act civilized. Meanwhile, Simon embodies kindness and is considered to be a Christ like figure at the end. Unlike Ralph, though, Simon is too shy to be a leader so he finds comfort in being more of a free-thinking follower. Overall, though, Simon and Ralph are both perceived as "good" characters, differing in the type. This essay will compare and contrast the different types of goodness Simon and Ralph embody.
One of the characters Ralph is speaking to Simon and is taken back by his words: “You’ll get back to where you came from” (Golding 121). Simon shows his Christ-like wisdom to Ralph by telling him that he will make it back. Simon can see the civilization dying in the boys, but still sees the good in Ralph. Simon’s wisdom and knowledge are things that parallel him and Christ. Also, Simon states and takes part in many courageous things throughout the novel.
According to William Golding, evil is intrinsic to human beings. In other words, evil is an instinct to mankind and is a part of human nature. Evil is concealed inside of human beings and it will be revealed in extreme situations after certain experiences. In Lord of the Flies, the boys are in the same situation of being stuck on an island. All of the boys benefit from mocking and teasing Piggy because he is physically inferior.
