in LORD OF THE FLIES why dont the other boys listen to piggy and frequently abuse him?why is this the case?

becuz they are really still school boys and have no respect for him as he is fat and as asthma. they have miraculously (for them) escaped adult authority and they dont really want him to be an adult as that means rules etc. he also seems to be of a lower class than them, judging by his grammer, and this is just another reason to disrespect him\nthis is my opinion on your question lol

First of all, you have the makeup that Jack and his gang wear to distinguish themselves- a textbook "masking tendency." Then, of course, there's schizophrenia, as Simon talks to the lord of the flies, which is in fact a rotting pig's head. Finally, you've got the traditional Christ complex in Simon, as he is an entirely pure individual who dies in a grotesque ceremony as he attempts to save the children of the island. Then you have the conch shell that is used to organized the children, which is a control motif.\n\nThat's just something to get you started. I'd recommend going in depth on Jack and Ralph's relationship. For more, check out Bookrags, Sparknotes, and whatever other site you find helpful.

If you are talking about the Great Gatsby, Nick Carraway is made the narrator because he is a reliable one. He tells us that he reserves all his judgments, therefore, the reader can believe what he is saying is coming from an objective point of view.\n\nSo why is this in the swimming and diving section?

1) yes, the title is appropriate because they were..from Johnnie stabbing that Soc and Ponyboy being involved.  They were already label as delinquents so when they saved those children from the church, the news could not read any other way. \n\n2)Randy did not participate because of his friend being killed, also if you remember Twobit had a conversation with Randy, and I believe that they became friends after that.  Well, maybe not friends but they understood each other.\n\n3) They learned that the sun sets in the two places..the West and the East.  Ponyboy realizes that they are not soo different..they all are out to protect what they believe in.  But, most importantly he learned that it is very important to live life to the fullest and to always stay gold (young).\n\nHope this helps, it has been a while since I read the book, but I have seen the movie at least a 100 times.

Because people dont read for themselves. They are told something when they are 5 and think they remember it, Or try to place the names through memory because they havent read it.

On the leader board with a beast answer?  \n\nI'm not quite sure how to answer this question.  Molestation of children is never funny - whether it is a religious leader, a parent, a friend, or an unknown person to the child.  I think it is especially sad when it is someone a child, or the child's loved ones trusts - such as a religious leader.  But I hate to tell you that it is usually not religious leaders.  You would be more likely to make it to the leader board if you were to get a beast answer for every time a child was molested by a parent or step parent or relative.

Probally because it's not his father..some kids never like seeing there parents split up. And if they saw the abuse refuse to accnoledge it for what it was..all you can do is give him time.

no i did not catch that. good listening skills though. but hell is not a cuss word. hell is just a rude and inapportiate word to say. but i agree with u that some kids might use it and be considered saying a bad word. and that it is kinda odd for the word "hell" to be said in a Disney, rated G movie. but that is my opinion. to my concern adults just just cuss words in front of minors all sorts of ages! but one more thing i think the movie should still be rated g i mean they only say hell one time. i've asked everybody around me now that have seen the movie and they never heard hell in that movie.

The air battle and dead parachutist remind us of the larger setting of Lord of the Flies: though the boys lead an isolated life on the island, we know that a bloody war is being waged elsewhere in the world—a war that apparently is a terrible holocaust. All Golding tells us is that atom bombs have threatened England in a war against “the reds” and that the boys were evacuated just before the impending destruction of their civilization. The war is also responsible for the boys’ crash landing on the island in the first place, because an enemy aircraft gunned down their transport plane. Although the war remains in the background of Lord of the Flies, it is nevertheless an important extension of the main themes of the novel. Just as the boys struggle with the conflict between civilization and savagery on the island, the outside world is gripped in a similar conflict. War represents the savage outbursts of civilization, when the desire for violence and power overwhelms the desire for order and peace. Even though the outside world has bestowed upon the boys a sense of morality and order, the danger of savagery remains real even within the context of that seemingly civilized society that has nurtured them.

What did Jesus do?  You can catch a lot more flies with honey then with vinegar.  Even if someone is abusive, does that mean you have to come down to their level?  Just showing how shallow you are if you do.  As even Jesus said, do to others what you would want them to do to you.  Ever heard of the Golden Rule?  Show respect and you will get respect.  If not from some, it may cause them to turn around and begin to show some to others because you showed them some when they were real jerks.  I have seen it happen many times.  Try it and see if it does not work for you too.

It's to do with his personality.\nTheres loads of hidden insights in the book and ~Ralph being athletic when the others are not is down to him being active and not lazy.\nThe book is saying that youth spends too much time sitting watching tv and should be outside getting fit and getting experience that would be useful in life on the island.\n\nIf they hadn't been so lazy they'd have been better able to cope and do everything

People listen to him because they are narrow-minded and his propaganda supports their pre-existing beliefs.  He survives the same way that many others get by - helps you to rationalize that your problems are the fault of someone else, and he can help you (if you pay him enough).

The "stick sharpened at both ends" is a reference to what they did with the Lord of the Flies, impaling one end in the head and the other in the ground. This shows the brutality of what they planned to do to Ralph, who indeed felt like a pig being hunted by the savages. The fire set on the entire island shows the tribe's complete lack of foresight, as if they were not rescued, they would have no food or shelter. Ironically, the fire meant for evil started by Jack turned out to be what got the boys saved. The arrival of the Naval officer thus seems like a happy and ironic ending, but if one digs deeper it is just a continuation from one war to another. Once all the boys get on the Navy cruiser, they'll most likely just be subjected to more battle and fighting, this time on a worldwide level, due to the war taking place in the outside world.

Sadly, people seem to look for people that are perceived to be weaker than themselves so that they will feel stronger.  It's the classic "pecking order" behavior.  He may be compensating for some of his own insecurities or problems if he feels the need to "peck" on another kid.\n\nWhatever the reason, it seems like this sort of behavior should be handled forcefully by the kid's parents or guardians.  There's no excuse for picking on anyone, handicapped or not.  Parents need to teach their kids that this sort of behavior isn't acceptable.

That's a very interesting assignment. What is YOUR question? Have you tried spark notes to help you with some ideas?\n\nAlso, there are at least 12 other people who have asked questions about Ralph in Yahoo Answers.

because either one or two things, they have been exposed to it at home and school, or they have been to a public place, such as a movie theater and overheard older kids saying it. I agree they shouldn't be speaking as they do, no one should, thats why i don't agree in the fact of PG movies having curse words in them( and don't tell me they don't cuz their are some that do)
