He left out the best part of the ending (on purpose possibly to go visit the website), but to everyone who said the ending was anti-climatic, basically here's what happened. The naval officer comes and sees the kids and their savagery. He is ashamed of what they've done and sees them as beasts themselves, but then awkwardly looks back at his own war ship. It's a great ending/allegory.

On a slightly less depressive note; a real life lord of a the flies situation actually happened once, a group of boys (age 13-16 admittedly older than the ones in the book who is like 6-12) got stuck on a deserted island. And it actually went pretty well. They used to sing together in the evening to keep their spirits up, they made a vegetable garden and caught the wild hens there, and when one of the broke their leg, they tied it up and looked after him. When they were saved the leg was perfectly healed

He misses the end! The most important part! Essentially, a Naval officer found the island and the boys. He was astonished by their savagery and the death of Piggy and Simon. Ralph has a realization/grieving moment over Piggy and Simon, and Ralph realizes that he and the others will never be the same again. The naval officer is embarrassed with their screams and crying. He is still in shock of the fact they murdered two kids. I think that when he looks back at his ship he realizes that not only have the boys unleashed war and savagery, but the grown ups have also unleashed some form of savagery that is justified to resolve issues. I think that this book can have many lessons on anyone, even if they do believe the ending was "anti-climactic".

Roger threw a rock at Piggy which DIDN'T miss. "The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee; the conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist. Piggy, saying nothing, with no time for even a grunt, traveled through the air sideways from the rock, turning over as he went […]. Piggy fell forty feet and landed on his back across the square red rock in the sea. His head opened and stuff came out and turned red. Piggy's arms and legs twitched a bit, like a pig's after it has been killed. " Piggy's intelligence was smeared all over a rock and the rule of law destroyed. Roger is a dick.

One can assume all the remaining boys would be murdered by either Jack or Roger until only those two were left. But throughout it all, would Roger be planning Jack’s demise? Only because he can very well chew Jack out? Or will Jack have Roger on a leash until the day of their rescue because of Roger’s loyalty to superior statuses?

I'm not sure if anyone would try to challenge Roger, but I'm sure that a lot of people would die, and they wouldn't have many resources because of burning the whole forest down. Speaking of which, they would've burned the whole forest down, so they wouldn't have nay resources to start the fire, and even if they did, they would probably only do it if they wanted to cook something, meaning that they would never get rescued and would die killing each other or from a lack of resources, so I guess it's good that they got rescued right then and there.

Roger *Throws Rocks* English teachers: S O C I O P A T H
@Emachine909
@Emachine909 5 жыл бұрын
Throwing rocks would be understandable if a kid were eight years old, as kids around that age generally have no idea that people are not cartoony NPCs. However, Roger was about 10-12, like Jack and Ralph. He must have been aware that throwing a massive boulder at Piggy would, at the very least, maim him. After Piggy dies rather gruesomely at his hands, he shows absolutely no remorse, instead proceeding to torture Sam and Eric. Later on, the kid helps Jack and the other boys hunt down Ralph with the clear intention of killing him, and would have even mounted Ralph’s severed head on a stick if they had caught him. Even if Roger’s not a sociopath in the strictly medical sense of the word, he’s clearly a violent, malicious, and unstable demon-seed with a noticeable empathy deficit.

One problem with this. At the end of the book, it only said that Ralph started weeping followed by the little kids. The rest of the older kids didn't weep at all and I think it's because unlike Ralph and the younger boys, they've lost all innocence and they do not care about the tragedies that they have endured.

darr3nx Ralph was mostly chosen because he was beautiful not biggest, while Jack was ugly that's why people didn't like him. Jack is constantly described as being the tallest in the book, while Ralph isn't once described as being tall. Maybe just more muscly, but not tall. Jack is the tall one. Although Jack becomes muscly too later (jack's "sinewy body" - William Golding). Probably that's another reason Jack eventually wins.

I’m genuinely curious on how this would turn out when they meet their parents again. How mulberry boy’s parents and Simon’s parents and Piggy’s aunty would have to be told that they were all killed on the island. And what if they found out Jack was the reason for Simon’s and Piggy’s deaths, along with the wildfire. That would probably be traumatizing for Jack’s parents to hear.

Not only that, but all the boys had a part in Simon's death (with Jack initiating their state of paranoia and craziness) and Roger was the one who killed Piggy.

@TamptheChamp2 this dude was NOT a writer, and I believe this was his only book - definitely the only one that got any notice. I don't think he actually did that great a job at explaining what was going on in the story or at answering questions raised during the book. So much of it was just very vague and general 'this happened, then this happened'. I never felt you actually got to know any of the characters that well - they didn't feel like real people to me. The pacing is horrible too, and he saved almost ALL the action and interesting parts for the very end of the book. I always felt like it was one of those books you are 'supposed ' to like because you're told it's fantastic, and not because it actually is.

Every time my older son, when he was a kid, would go outside to play, it was like lord of the flies within 15 minutes. I’d have to bring him inside every time. He had to be supervised every minute until he was 14. I love him with all my heart; but he was exhausting. He’s doing great now. He’s got a good job, new car and nice apt. Got it all by himself. He’s saved a lot of money too. I wasn’t sure he’d be able to do all that when he was a kid.

Thank you for not giving upon him. He could have turned out very differently if it wasn't for your patience, guidance, love, and discipline. I grew up next to a kid who was a terrible bully and all-around-jerk. By High School he had outgrown most of that. 40 years later he still feels terrible about it LOL. I've realized some kids are just maniacs and require tons of support and supervision. Without that they probably become criminals.

About Simon's Death: I believe the ritualistic dance combined with their newfound power over life and death induced a hysteric bloodthirsty in the boys, in the end, all was unleashed into poor Simon who just arrived bringing unwelcome reason. The contrast was so much at that moment his life meant little more than being fuel for their rising Psychosis.

This book is very fascinating and deeply moving. It is very symbolic, and it made me ponder things very thoroughly. Things like: "Why do people like being rebellious?" and "How can rebellion cause that much of a trouble". And in pondering those thoughts, I have found my answer. The flesh loves to be rebellious. It's very easily tempted toward the things that are evil in this world. We love to sin.... As long as we live, there will be sin or evil in this world. And as long as there is sin and evil in this world, also will there be fear. As long as we keep our hearts at least somewhat pure, we will be able to stay sane. But if we let evil corrupt us, change us, then we will be defenseless against fear, and in that, we take very drastic measures to try to prove to ourselves that we're not afraid. If you've read this and you choose to listen to me, all I have to say is this. Don't let fear corrupt you, ladies and gentlemen. Hope for the best. In the end, it could be the determining factor of whether or not you make it.

A realization just hit me, at 2:00, the boy with the birthmark mentions a beast on the island and later the beast is revealed to be a dead air pilot, but the dead pilot fell there after the first mention of the beast, so what did that boy with the birthmark see? That question, combined with said boy going missing after the failed signal fire attempt and the pig head saying that beast was inside the boys (a Metaphor for the boys inner Savagery) makes me think that boy with the birth mark might have been something more then just a boy.

Then Jack came saying that he saw something bulge on the mountain top. Ralph insisted on going and looking and saw Jack hesitate for the first time. (pg 120-123 in my book)
