Violence In Lord Of The Flies

Juvenille crime is more common than ever. Violent crimes such as murder is happening more than you know. In the book, Lord of the Flies, the boys showed violence from the very first chapter. Violence and tension began with Ralph and the chiorboy arguing over who should be leader, once Ralph was chosen over Jack. Within this book, the boys lose a sense of consequence by giving into their animal nature. Even in a book, it is hard to think of juvenille's being able to commit murder like in chapter nine, "A View of Death." In this chapter, Simon is murdered in a brutal, animalistic manor. By this point in the book the boys have been lost for quite some time, they were halucinating believing Simon was the beast. "Kill the beast! Cut his throat!

Her aunt did not notice was missing until after 7 p.m., the sheriff said. The aunt drove around looking for the girl for about 45 minutes before finding her hanging from the tree and calling deputies, Surles said. Katelynn's feet were touching the ground.

In Lord of the Flies, the vengefal crowd never suffered for their own crime. Where as Katelynn recieved her justice unlike Simon. The thing that can relate both of these horrific crimes is the boys as well as Katelynn's half- brother, they all have to learn how to live with the memory of the last cry of their victims.
