OK, I read LOTF in 1980 but I think Ralph cried becuase he recognized his own failings as a "civilized" person.  He cried because he had turned savage and he felt he had failed himself and everyone else (especially Tubby).  He was especially bummed because he realized that he only needed to hold on to his civilized humanity a short while longer and he would have been rescued without shame.

I would suggest you look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_of_the_flies#War_and_human_nature and I would also get yourself familar with the idea's of Thomas Hobbes who believed without the laws of society man will live by the laws of the jungle (kill or be killed) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Hobbes\n\nGood Luck!!!

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. You might find some ideas in those...\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/search/search_result;_ylt=ArZr6Oh1ATWr9oUKlbWPc1cnzKIX?p=Ralph+Lord+of+the+Flies&scope=subject&mc=&fltr=_en&tab=0&asktime=&st=1

Merry Meet!\n\nAn excellent resource to check out is http://www.mysticwicks.com\n\nAlso do a ton of research becasue that's something you will always need to do. Browse through the books at Borders or Barnes & Noble in the metaphysical section. Usually they let you sit down for awhile and skim through them before you buy anything. \n\nMost people hate her but I found Silver Ravenwolf's books to be easiest for a beginner. Most recommend Scott Cunningham instead but I could not understand anything he wrote and I am not unintelligent. \n\nAlso, any tools that you purchase, make sure they are new. If you get anything used, it will have someone else's energy on it. For this reason, I would recommend staying as far away as you can from Ebay for supplies becasue there is no way to guarantee, even with their promises, that the item is brand new. If you order online from Llewelyn (I know I butchered that spelling but it is the same name as the publishing company for Silver Ravenwolf, Scott Cunningham and others) or from local stores, then you don't have anything to worry about.

no. BUT and interesting fact: 'Lord of the Flies' a book by someone golding, about finding the evil inside every human being. Lord of the Flies in hebrew is Beelzbub, which means devil!!! sorry i just had an exam about it so its in my brain!

Yes. Its about these shipwrecked or actually "planewrecked" boys who get onto an island. They try to organize themselves but turn into barbarians and start killing each other. They spear one boy. Beat another one to death. And push off a kid off a 40 foot ledge. At the end, a deus ex machina saves the protaganist. Some officers suddenly appear saving them the protagonist from a the group of angry armed boys.\n\nHere's more information:\nhttp://www.gerenser.com/lotf/\nhttp://www.sparknotes.com/lit/flies/\n\nSparknotes has summaries for  each chapter. I highly suggest you read them and you'll get the point much better!

well, alot of Lost is based on "Lord of the Flies" and a lot of books written by Plato. If you're interested, I suggest you read up on those things for clues.

the book "the cay" was used in a lit circle reading for 8th grade. In the Cay he goes through a big transformation so a really cool project to show that is this:\n\n1. At the begining of the book have all the kids draw a collage representing one of the 2 main characters.\n\n2. At the end of the book have them do the same thing but since the characters have changed the symbols will be different.\n\n3. Have them write a paragraph on how the character has changed and how that's represented in the collage.\n\n   This will illustrate change for them and is a lot of fun to do. Hope you like this idea.

I think it's about abuse of power and similar - I read the book a couple of years ago, but I've repressed almost all memory of it; \n\nI think it's also about the consequences the absence of rules can have, about how people tend to revert to their basic instincts (survival of the toughest);\n\nlast but not least, it's also about how in the absece of any restraints people tend to become (unnecessary) cruel\n\nP.S.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_of_the_Flies is a really good link to start with \ngood luck!

It's the lord of the flies. which symbolizes the evil in all humans. it is the pig that (someone-i dont remember who) symbolically rapes the pig saying "'right up her @$$'".\n\nthis part of the book that i am talking about..the symbolic rape is in the middle of chapter 8. and then if you turn the page (or maybe 2-depends on your version) it says "'This head is for the beast. It's a gift.'" Chapter 8, pg. 124 (on this quote site its on page 124 but in my book its on page 137).
