Probably studying in the elementary school, playing with your classmates or getting a hug from your parents. However, in the "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, Ralph, Piggy, Jack and other schoolboys are not doing the same as we are doing. This book teaches the readers that we are easily changed by our environments and when we are desperate and hopeless, our dark side will appear. Each person has the capacity to be an evil and that evil is only restrained by the rules of society. These boys were originally from a school’s chorus, unfortunately, when they were on the plane; it was shot down on a tropical island and there was no grownup. Can you imagine that? A group of little boys have to survive on the island themselves until others come to rescue them. At first they choose one of the boys - Ralph to be as the leader, however another boy - Jack feels unfair that he should be the leader. When these boys encounter this situation, they separated into two groups which one is leads by Ralph and the other is leads by Jack. Ralph is a charismatic conductor and a representative of order and civilization. In the other hand, Jack is strong-mined and a representative of violence and savagery, he wants every boy to listen to his commands. In the novel, there are neither laws nor specification. As the novel progresses, these boys become more and more savage. For instance, in the novel, all of them are afraid of a beast, however, the beast never appear because there was actually no beast in this island. As them grow more savage, their belief in the beast grow stronger. It is that they and their behaviors bring the beast into existence and they are actually the beast that they are afraid of. I think the book is worth of reading because within this book, readers will find exactly how brutal and violent a human being can become. For example, when I am reading this book, I feel extremely depress because one of my favorite character – Piggy, was killed by Jack’s group. I am really astounding of how could a boy whose age is about 10 whom killed his friend. I am thinking about “the sin” is really come from our environment or our human nature? In society, people have the capability to become violent; this capability can be expressed with the condition that becomes so unreasonable or so stressful that the mind is no longer in dominate. This is exactly what happens in this book “Lord of the Flies”. I without a doubt recommended each of you to read this book, because it will teach you about a man’s real side when facing a difficult situation. 角色 Character 形容詞 Adjective Ralph reasonable 單字 Word 出現頁數 Page compulsion 47 fumbling 18 bloodthirsty 58 heroic 93 indefinable 168 句子 Sentence 頁數 Page A star appeared behind them and was momentarily eclipsed by some movement. 170 The candle-buds opened their wide white flowers glimmering under the light that pricked down 52 from the first stars.
