　　　　　LORD OF THE FLIES♥








Please choose one passage from the novel that is significant to you. Why is this passage meaningful? Please type it into one of your entries and comment on what you think about the passage.

"I've got the conch. Ralph thinks you're cowards, running away from the boar and the beast. And that's not all." This passage was meaningful to me because Piggy always says that a lot to Jack. This passage shows me that there is person who always refuses to follow rules like antagonist. Usually the writer mentions important thing in indirect ways. But in this situation, writer used Piggy's saying as a direct words. Piggy shows us the possibility that the beast would not exist. "I have got the conch." saddens me because there is rule around them but they do not even willing to follow the rule. "Ralph thinks .. " this part shows Piggy's personality very well because he says "Someone thinks" rather than "I think". The reason why I think this quote reveals Piggy’s personality is because he was weak in front of powerful person. I think "And that's not all" part suggests us that more scary and thrilling experiences will come in front of them. Therefore, it can be foresight about killing each other. The boys were cowards so they tried to avoid the Lord of the Flies and they also killed Simon and Piggy with their fear. Jack is destructive, selfish human beings who would destroy others to get what we want. But no one mentioned it before but Piggy is saying it to others. So, the author is trying to show Jack's evil nature by this quote. However, nobody has paid attention to Piggy so no one has noticed that Jack was leading the boys to dark world. This quote supports part of the theme well in direct ways.
