So if they had to tell who was guilty or who's not it would go like this. Sawyer tried to kill Mars but he missed so that would be 2nd degree murder because it was intended to do and jack finished it of so Sawyer would be the guilty one because his intention was to killing him and Jack didn't want to see him suffer so he did what he had to do. So whoever tried killing piggy is guilty it was intention of murder so they are guilty.And Simon’s death was an accident because they were having self defense and they didn't know who was

    In 1 Samuel 17, David shows how he has trust in God and he knows that he will win. In the beginning of 1 Samuel 17, no one will fight Goliath, so David steps up and says that he will. His brother told him that he was stupid thinking that he could go and kill Goliath. David told him that by the grace of God he will be able to defeat Goliath. His brother knew that he was right and got him ready to fight Goliath. Once he was ready, he approached the Philistine. Goliath told him that he was small, and that he would kill David easily.

    Civilization still has a little bit of control over Roger's mind and sanity. He seems to feel as if he is still surrounded by rules, laws, consequences and adults. Adults are the ones that make the rules and ensure they are enforced. In chapter four "Roger grabbed a handful of stones and began to throw them. Yet there was a space around Henry, perhaps six yards in diameter, into which he dare not throw. Here, invisible yet strong, was the taboo of the old life. Round the squatting child was the protection of parents and school and policemen and the law. Roger's arm was conditioned by a civilization that knew nothing of him and was in ruins." This symbolizes civilization…

    As the novel progresses, the two main characters have changed in their characteristics, which show the fault in civilization through temptation and human nature using symbolism for each individual. At first, Ralph and Jack got along with teamwork and split their parts and works among the boys. During the building of the rescue fire, Jack and Ralph were working together to lift up a log to the fire, “Together, joined in the effort by burden, they stammered up the last step of the mountain. Together, they chanted One! Two! Three! and they crashed the log on to the great pile” (Golding 39). This quotation uses the repetition of the word “together” because the author is trying to express the positive relationship between the two boys. This passage also symbolises the beginning…

    in the book lord of the flies, Piggy is treated like an outsider by all t the other boys on the island, mainly Jack. I personally think that the boys are treating Piggy that way because him and might be intimidated, Piggy is obviously very intelligent and i think all the boys had an idea of it when the were together for the first time and that's probably the main reason of the teasing because they know he's superior. In our society today so many people are treated like Piggy on a daily bases such as new kids at a new school, disabled people and people in different class systems. These people get hurt everyday because no one is there to help them, if this world is evolving and changing why is people hurting other people physically, mentally and emotionally still such a big issue ?…
