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.

maybe if you posted your answers instead of just the questions people will help you.  no one is going to do your homework for you though.  that book was good.  and easy.  read it!\ntry sparknotes for help\n\nyou do know that if you go to sparknotes it will help A LOT.  \nor if you google this stuff you can find the answers..\nno ones going to give you the answers on here though.\nif you're that bored by the book maybe you should rent the movie.  but the movie isn't completely like the book.  teachers know that kids are gonna rent the movie also so they'll probably add trick questions on their tests and quizzes (mine did but i read the book so i was ok).  so i'd highly recommend you read it and pay attention in class.  good luck..

[For whatever it's worth, I’ve tried recasting it, trying my best not to change the way you wanted to say what you wanted to say, relocating some of your ideas for a more unified presentation, better impact, all the while remaining consistent with your preference for the present tense. The paragraph breakdowns are more for consistency, flow and visual impact. Please verify your quotes; make sure they're verbatim and punctuated as they are in the book. Here goes:]\n\nFear is one of the most powerful emotions that control the way a human being acts in certain circumstances. It contributes to one’s instability and, ultimately, to irrationality.\n\nWilliam Golding’s “Lord of the Flies” is all about fear and its irrational consequences. It sheds light on that kind of fear that may not be of something physical at all. It is the irrational fear of fear itself, the big horrid “Beast of Fear” with claws, eyes, and teeth lurking inside us. It is the fear we prefer to ignore. In “Lord of the Flies,” it is the fear which leads to irrational acts.\n\nIn “Lord of the Flies,” the boys fear almost everything they see and hear on the island, assuming them to be beasts. As the novel progresses, their fear of the unknown beast becomes exceedingly powerful their attitudes towards it become increasingly irrational. Terror paralyzes their minds, leaving them too weak to face the truth about their fears. \n\nThe beast in the novel symbolizes fear flying around on the island. Fear is evident in all the boys, from the nightmares to the belief in the existence of a beast. From the moment the first littlun claims to have seen snake-monster in Chapter 2, even the hunters begin having nightmares of their own. In Chapter 5, Jack, addressing Ralph, says, “You said they dream and cry out. Now they talk not only the littluns, but also my hunters sometimes talk of a thing, a dark thing, a beast, some sort of animal.” (p. 83). Indeed, the boys’ fear of the beast becomes an increasingly important aspect of their lives. The fact that all the boys on the island are younger than thirteen greatly affects the amount of fear that control them. Their cries can only reverberate within the walls of their own nightmares.\n\nFurther, a little boy named Phil dreams of weird animals, saying, “And I was frightened…and then I saw something moving among the trees, something big and horrid.” (p. 85) His mind is so obsessed with “beasties” it simply refuses to accept the reality that it is Simon he see in the dark. As a matter of fact, imagination and fear shape their illusory description of the beast which the twins, Samneric, describe, “There were eyes, teeth, claws. The beast followed us, nearly touched me.” (p. 100) [Question: Is this the way you intended to write this part? Your original posting made them appear like sub-topics.] But beast, it was not; it was a dead parachutist.\n\nFear of the beast totally conquers their minds, making their brains too crippled to think straight. Their imaginations are so powerful, so overpowering and wild that they fail to see the fear for what it is: the beast that impels them to crime.\n\nFear so control them to the point of believing and doing anything, even trying to regain peace and freedom from fear itself by killing the beast. Thus, when Simon comes stumbling out of the dark forest while the boys are doing a victory dance, everyone surrounds him, chanting, "Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!" (p. 152) Believing him to be the beast, they poke savagely at him with their spears until the “Beast” is dead. The beast is dead, indeed, and fear has just taken an innocent life.\n\nHowever, not all the boys are too affected by fear. Ralph and Piggy struggle to be logical. \n\nWhen the topic of fear is brought up during one of their assemblies, Ralph declares boldly, “The thing is Fear can't hurt you any more than a dream. There aren't any beasts to be afrai

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.

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!

I'm sorry that you're having so much trouble. I'm having trouble helping you interpret the question being that I haven't read that particular novel. I wish you the best of luck, but I can tell you that several people in your class are probably having the same trouble. So, any interpretation of the question that you would have would certainly be better than nothing!! ;)

the quest of the Golden Toadstool. Anyone knows anything about this story? I think my student may have copie? \nI gave an assignment and one student turned in a story about a gnome a golden toadstool and a dragon. The gnome keeps the toadstool in the forest. The dragon takes it away, destroying the forest. The gnome goes and finds the dragon, kills it and returns the toadstool to the forest and the toadstool being magical puts the forest back together. \nThere is no way this student wrote this picture story book.\nThanks for any help!

Hey! I'm doing that book in school too! \n\nFirst note the difference between the people in East Egg and the people in West Egg. The people of East Egg are the ones that were born rich (aristocrats) and the ones in West Egg are the people of new money, like Gatsby and Nick himself. Daisy and Tom are of East Egg. Being of old money they are used to being rich and live elegantly and have a good, well-known family background so they don't have to show it off. They are therefor referred to as members of "... a rather distinguished secret society." But Gatsby, being new to wealth, shows it off with lots of parties. He lacks the knowledge built up over generations, of how to speak correctly, how to dress with taste and how not to show off his immense wealth. Gatsby can never be anything more than lower class in manners, speech and behaviour, because people with 'old money' will not give away the secrets of their social code. Note that Gatsby holds his parties to attract Daisy. Funny, isn't it??!! Hope this helps!

Get down to your local tackle shop and ask them, they should have some good starter kits and cheap tieing vices .Just be carful as fly tying is not that cheap to get started.A good book shop like Watermans or w h smiths is a good place to go for books on the subject.Any thing by John Goodard or Bob Church is a good start.Best of luck,if the bug bites you won't be seeing much of him.
