        <description><![CDATA[In a last, desperate attempt to restore peace and good government to the island society, the erstwhile chief, Ralph, visits Jack's camp to demand the essential firestarter, Piggy's glasses. But Jack refuses, the two fight, and Piggy, screaming to be heard above the melee, dies when Roger, the cruelest of the boys, knocks him off the mountainside by dislodging a massive boulder. As Ralph escapes, Roger "advance[s] upon" Sam and Eric,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I think at first he would be excited by the adventure offered in his situation. He has the chance to completely start over with people who don't know him. Also, he's in a position to put his knowledge to various uses. He might brag about how the signal fire was his idea, &amp; about how his knowledge of the conch allowed all the boys to come together in some semblance of order and society. He would also feel proud that his glasses were used to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Innocence is an important theme in the novel 'Lord of The Flies' by William Golding. It deals with the important nature/nurture argument in human psychology. Is man born 'iinnocent' and then polluted by evil elements in society? Or is he born with some degree of 'natural evil' himself? If the latter is true, then is it the case that those 'civilizing' elements of society must place conventions, limitations and barriers and sanctions on those...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This realization is shown through Ralph's attention to the fire, &amp; his anger at Jack's insistence on hunting over all else. When Jack returns with a pig, Ralph is furious that the fire has gone out. In the meantime, he had seen a ship, &amp; if the fire had been burning they could have been rescued. Jack doesn't see the importance of this, but Ralph knows that the fire is their only hope of survival. If they remain on the island, they run...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This is the first death on the island that results from intentional actions. Essentially, it's murder, not an accident. Other deaths, such as the boy's with the mulberry birthmark and Simon's, were either purely unintentional, or a result of a savage frenzy, rather than a pre-planned act. Yet Piggy's death is clearly calculated, motivated by evil and sadism:

The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee; the conch exploded into a...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Jack eventually gets to kill a pig, but here he is still obsessing about the thought of it. Whether he knows what that will be like before he actually manges to hunt down a pig would be an interesting idea for you to consider - he says they need food, but we already know there are coconuts on the island, and it probably wouldn't have been too difficult to construct a net or rods to catch a fish from the teeming oceans - so is it really more...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[While Ralph is working with most of the others making shelters down on the beach, Jack is up in the forest and down on his hands and knees. He is sniffing, smelling the ground for any scent of pigs or their droppings.
Jack has become obsessed with meat, with pigs, with killing. The idea of killing a pig has taken over Jack's mind and body, and it stands in sharp opposition to Ralph's plan for the need for huts, for protection. Here in chapter...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Throughout the novel, Roger's actions show him to be a boy who is the first to break with civilization.  He is the first to throw rocks near a lilun, the first to stab a piglet, and the first to take a cheap shot against Piggy.  The nameless authority that Roger wields is violence.  He has no qualms about picking on the smaller children and torturing Sam'n'Eric to get the knowledge he wishes from them.  If you're not willing to go so far...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Roger's authority is simple, unadulterated force. No longer is his arm guided by a civilization that doesn't care about him-he is free to destroy as he pleases. And it certainly does please him to hurt. Roger is a sadist in the purest form, one who delights in torturing and causing pain. In fact, just before this particular moment, Roger has committed the first intentional murder on the island. He has cheerfully dropped a rock on Piggy,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Only the hunt and violence make sense to Jack. He lives on the thrill of tracking and killing prey, eventually dissolving from a normal, civilized boy into a bloodthirsty savage. Building shelters, maintaining the fire, attempting rescue: none of these register in Jack's world.
What Jack understands is chaos and force. He realizes how to camouflage the faces of the hunters in order to mask them among the jungle, &amp; he designs weapons to use...]]></description>
