My reading focus in The Lord of the Flies has been power. The power in most of this book has been in the hands of Ralph. Ever since he had first called all of the boys down to the beach with the conch and was given the title of chief, Ralph has been the boss of this island.
The only exception to Ralph having all of this power, is Jack. Jack is the second man in charge, and the leader of the hunters. Without Jack, the boys would have no pig but also would have had a signal fire burning when the ship came by. But overall, Ralph is the head of this island and Jack has some power over the littluns at second man in charge.
Those are some true statements. Try to get more in depth and see what things in the story may symbolize power.
ReplyDeleteI would totally agree. But i worry if Jack is going to take over.
