Monologue Lord Of The Flies
Mr. Williams is frantically reeling around the classroom like a fool searching for a piece of scrap paper to record votes on. It is one minute from the end of class so he must elect a new leader of the choirboys today, and I know I will triumph over the other peasants. After all I have threatened each and every one of them, so there is no way I will not prevail.
I was snatched from the island months ago and returned to my family. Although on the boat ride home the others’ faces displayed hope, in my heart sat bitterness. I held the most power anyone my age has seen in years, and I let incompetent Ralph steal it from me.

Only once I took his followers for my own did I truly realize the perks of holding power. Now I have another chance to take, and I will not waste it.
Suddenly, a solitary hand in the center of the class rises voting for Luke. A foolish move, this person is merely a lone gazelle attempting to fight the lion, and the lion will slit its throat. But I see another rising hand, and another, until all the gazelles stand strong against
