Material that I have recently read is Lord of the Flies. As
previously stated the author has expressed interest for the two different
classes systems represented by Jack and Ralph. With Ralph representing the
theme of civilization and Jack representing savagery both dictatorships
encounter many challenges. The differing ideologies between the boys, force
them to adhere to their current living conditions. The two societies, who fall
victim to violence are influenced by many changes, which includes the loss of
conditioning and the transformation of a long standing community, of
well-behaved boys into a civilization dominated to establish order and a
savage-like dictatorship established to convey Jack’s own primal impulses. I enjoyed Lord
of the Flies because it depicts the world of today along with our viewpoints
which set us apart from one another.
I enjoyed reading your blog very much Renae. The way that you describe Lord of the Flies is better than even I could have done! When I read this book, I realized these conflicts that you describe in your blog. At school we discussed these ideologies that support the separate themes these two different boys represent. You are 100% correct too when you say that the result of the boys' difference is complete violence. This creates huge conflict too knowing that they are on an island, a place where you can't retreat from the violence any time you please.
