Lord of the Flies Speech
Diana Bender
Parker Community Academy Rm. 306/7th Starting Right Now…

Hello my name is Diana Bender and I have called this meting on today to discuss the problems that have been going on on this island. The problems are; people are getting killed, there is not enough communication between you all, and the lilun are running around here there not really being watched. You guys are the oldest and you’re the ones that have to take full responsibilities over the younger ones. Weather you like it or not it’s something you got to do. Now with this killing can’t anyone tell me it was an “accident’’. There is absolutely no reason in the world. The two is Piggy and Simon! Nothing should result in murder y’all have to learn to reason and you better learn fast. Another thing why are you guys arguing so much and fighting against each other like you’re doing? When it comes down to survival of your life you all have to depend each other. Depending on each other is not a cut throat ordeal. If you boys continue to go on like this, then I can bet my last $2 that when I come back all of you are going to be lying on the ground DEAD. Starting right now! RIGHT NOW! You’re going to work together, have each other back in the long run, protect the lilun, and protect your self. You are to survive this island like the smell of your bodies just may kill you. NOW! On the count of 3 I want you say “WE CAN DO IT”, say it again, “WE CAN DO IT”. , that’s what I’m talking about. Starting

    He did not like that Jack and his gang would much rather hunt than do their assigned jobs. The only way for the island can run smoothly is if everyone does their part.

    First of all, the government doesn’t always protect the patriot and defend the patriot the same way the patriot does for the Government. This is evident in numerous moments in American history and it is also shown all throughout the novel,\ “Lord of the Flies”. Simon was a very devoted and efficient member of the island community. He often listens and follows what Ralph and Piggy say. Although, this sense of loyalty and trust that Simon had toward Ralph ultimately lead to his demise. One of the major issues that the community of children had in the island was the constant fear of the beastie, an imaginary monster that lives in the jungle, that cause the “Littluns” to have nightmares. Simon finds out there isn’t a beast, instead it was a dead skydiver. He runs back to inform everyone that there is no beast but his community turns on him and kills him (quote). When the oldest of the community realize what they have done, they covered up his death by dragging his body into the sea and convince the littluns that he was the beast by saying "I expect the beast disguised himself”. Simon died trying to help his community,…

    Henry Ward Beecher was quite wise in saying that, “Greatness lies, not in being strong, but in the right using of strength; and strength is not used rightly when it serves only to carry a man above his fellows for his own solitary glory. He is the greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own”. In other words, in order to be great, you do not need to be powerful; you just need to know how to use your power appropriately. This quote is valid since strength accomplishes greatness when everyone benefits, rather than just an individual. This phenomenon is illustrated in the novel Lord of the Flies, by William Golding where the characters, in their own ways,…

    In chapter seven Beah is twelve, and on his own. If I was on my own that young, I would not be able to sustain myself. I like to believe I could survive, but I would probably end up dying after three days. Being left to my own devices would result in a variation of Lord of the Flies, a world of chaos and dismay without parental guidance. Worrying about trivial things at age twelve, I could not go off and work to support myself. Being responsible for myself before I was even a teenager, would be nearly impossible. Beah being able to fend for himself shows the maturity level he had to obtain to survive as a child.…

    Today is Simon's last day before he leaves for juvenile. My instinct was right, ever since the fight between Simon and Richard I had a hunch that Richard was picking on Simon. He didn't want to tell me at the time but yesterday he confessed that Richard had been bulling him for weeks maybe even months. I feel terrible, I thought Simon was crazy but it wasn't Simon it was his emotions conquering him, making him set fire to the school (says in a sad, quiet voice). Ahh! Richard, he has problems, bad things may happen at home but you can't treat someone with so much disrespect. Making Simon drink his spit, making him stand at the front of the school in his underpants! Is Richard human!? He can't be human if he treated Simon with so much rudeness…

    A highly effective community is made up of people serving in different roles as a cohesive unit. If everyone has the same role, the community would not be as effective and productive as it is suppose to be. No one is perfect, meaning that everyone has their own strengths and weakness. For example, I am stronger in math, my strength and at times struggle in writing, my weakness. I believe that if we each use our strengths to improve on our weaknesses then, we ultimately make a community stronger as a shole. In the novel Lord of the Flies, William Golding uses symbolism, conflict and evolution to portray Ralph as an immature young boy who develops into a civilized young man against all odds .…

    The group of boys who, once had innocent and pure lives turned into a group of monsters who wreaked havoc against anyone who opposed them. Fear led the boys to make illogical choices and the overall thirst for power and dominance caused them to act uncivilized to one another. After being on the island for so long, the boys became aware that it wasn’t crashing on an island that drove them to savagery, but that it was having to deal with each other that led them to the lifestyle they lived. The deterioration of morality among the boys caused them to act in ways they wouldn’t have if they hadn’t crashed on the island. As a group, the boys were not able to live in peace with each other due to their fear and greediness for control and that soon led to the downfall of their…

    The bloody plane was shot down…I was sleeping dreaming about a concoction of fish and chips and my home before the war. I lived on a farm, and I had my own horse…I miss him. My dad taught me how to ride when I was four; riding would provide me relief from school and farming. Anyways, I then I awoke to a storm of fire. The plane was literally sliced in two. I think the beastly enemy shot us down. Even though they shot us clean out of the sky, I wish to thank them and show some British manners to them because this island is beautiful. It has fruit, and the sights are more beautiful than anything back home. There are even pigs on the island that we could eat. Sadly, I thought myself alone until a booming noise thundered through the jungle. I was scared; I thought it was an earthquake, although I have never experienced one before.…
