shslwhovian:

send me all the info you know to be true from Lord of the Flies because I have a report due on it and I had to return the book and never finished it

  • They kill Piggy by pushing him off the cliff
  • The conch got smashed symbolizing the destruction of order
  • They all got saved in the end and they all burst in to tears
  • Simons conversation with the dead pig head is a parallels Jesus’s 40 days of temptation by the devil but Simons death doesn’t bring salvation (is also a motif) 
  • some themes
  • loss of innocence
  • instinct vs order
  • symbols
  • conch is order
  • piggy’s glasses is civilization
  • state of the fire reflected state of civilization
  • beast is instinct
  • Ralph is order
  • Piggy is intellectualism
  • Jack is savagery
  • Simon is the warmth of humanity (opposite of savagery)

and that’s as much as me and my boyfriend could pull together having not read the book for like 5 years. Hope it helps!
