Why does Golding use Britishschool boys? In Lord of the Flies.?
603106
british school boys is an architype character label which sets up expectations of innocence. this emphasizes the contrast between their behavior in the beginning and the end of the book. also the book hints at a world war going on, and england was notably involved in the war in real history.

In the concentration camps there were also homosexuals and handicapped people. He wanted to get rid of the 'weaker' people, create a superior race of people who were 'pure' and 'strong'. He believed the Jews had defects in their genes that caused them to be diseased and sickly. I believe Gypsy were another race he wanted to get rid of because they were often rumored to carry diseases from towns to towns in their nomadic wanderings. Also remember that Mein Kumpf was just saying the things that he wanted people to know.... \n\nHitler's goal was to create a 'master race'.

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?

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.

It symbolizes Evil. It is a representation of the Lord of the Flies himself, who is Beelzebub, or, broadly speaking, the Devil.

I think that Golding used a soldier to bring Irony into the story again. The boys are asleep when the adults are fighting overhead. Also, he may have done that to bring "real life" back into the story, so that the reader didnt forget that there was still a war going on. The boys (or at least Ralph) think that once they are rescued, they'll be safe, but really they'll still be in danger of bombs and other warfare from their parents fueds. I guess as we grow older, our fueds get more and more dangerous.

Personally I think it's just a way of teaching kids morals and other stuff like that. Same thing with Aesop stories and that one about that African spider... I forgot it's name

I applaud all of you, a school is there to teach children not as another way of the nanny state interfering with the way we raise our children, I have a two (soon to be three) year old son and he will be starting reception school in september. I remember a few years ago the government wanted people to stop calling children winners and losers and instead use the term yet to achieve success in a bid to hep childrens self esteem. Has no one considered the effect of weighing classes of kids, possibly in front of other class pupils? and in any event what about the poor kids who have to take these letters home and the effect being told you're fat at such an early age may have on them, don't we have enough of a problem with eating disorders...

I can't answer the first one but...\n\nBeelzebub: The devil. Lord of the Flies is a translation of the Hebrew Ba"'"alzevuv  (Beelzebub in Greek)it's also a trem used in German \n\n\n'"'Beelzebub'"' \nThe Beelzebub, otherwise known as the '"'Lord of the Flies,'"' represents the devil or a fallen angel.  It is through the corrupted minds of Jack and his choir of hunters that the Beelzebub was created as a bloody head of a sow stuck upon a double headed spear. Once the rumors of the beast started up, there was no one able to confidently convince themselves or each other that there was no such thing as an unknown beast.  Jack is the eldest child of all the boys and when he was frightened at the idea of a beast, so were the others. Exerting his influence upon the other boys, he resorted to making peace offerings to the so-called beast, '"'This head is for the beast. It is a gift'"' (Golding 137).  The majority thought the idea of an offering, keeping them safe, was splendid. Though, in reality he was actually doing the opposite. Jack and his group believed that the pig"'"s head would keep them safe from the beast. But, the irony was that the head represented the '"'Beelzebub'"' otherwise the devil, which is well known for his corruption upon men. It is Simon, a Christ-like figure, who is able to resist the forces of the '"'Beelzebub,'"' like how Christ resisted the demon grip. ('"'Satan or Devil'"').  With the creation of the Beelzebub, Jack"'"s gang loses any trace of civility, and turn into savages. The Lord of the Flies manages to complete its task in truly corrupting each of the boys following Jack"'"s lead to strengthen the internal '"'evil impulse'"' ('"'Satan or Devil'"'), thus killing Simon. The '"'Beelzebub'"' was the persuader of evil through its symbolism and meaning towards Jack"'"s group turning them into savages, who thrived through the death of living creatures and even beings of their own kind.

Why do the Brits use K after everything and the Yanks not? Because they are from different countries and cultures and their English isn't the same. You can thank Noah Webster.\n\nDon't take it out on us Americans either, the Aussie's have something do to with English butchering too.  \n\nAlso, thanks for posting this, I think you might have saved a few dumb Amer. boys from telling pretty English ladies they have nice fannies.

Let's see...I once had a class with a guy named Terry Perry, another with Paisley Posey, new a guy named James Bond (who you had to call Jim, he HATED James), know a four year old boy named Frances Baggot (who will forever be tormented with Frances Faggot in school) and another little one with first and middle names of Jealousy Shye.\n\nWhat ARE parents thinking nowadays?

Hitler wanted to use the games to show Nazi Germany as a peaceful, united, and highly civilized country. He also wanted to use the games to promote his master aryan race, i.e. his contestants were all aryan and would win most everything because they were "obviously" superior.\nThat is why when Jesse Owens among other black atheletes from the U.S. dominated track and field it was considered so awesome because it was a slap in Hitler's face and the whole Aryan ideal.
