LOTF Endning.

Lord of the Flies - rounding off and putting things into perspective:
1. Choose two boys from the island and address the following questions:
a. Does this boy contribute (= bidrage) in any way to the tragedy on the island? Explain your viewpoint.
the twin boys, (sam and eric) and Jack.
They contribute in the tragedy, by not trying to stop them. Jack contribute, by being the source of their evil deeds. They are (both) in Jack’s tribe. ‘’the huntsmen’’. They are ‘’coldblooded’’ and their only goal, is to survive and cause misery, for those who stands in their (jack’s) way. The twins are easy to manipulate, because they feel bad for Ralph and piggy. Therefor is Ralph able to convince them not to rat out on his hiding place in the very end. Eventhough they are under the ‘’wings’’ of Jack.

b. Could he have acted to prevent any of the deaths? Why/why not? Explain. Yes the twin boys, could have stood up for Ralph and Piggy. They could have turned Jack down, even though he has the power of Majority. Jack does not stop or even intend to try stopping any of the ‘’deaths’’. You could say, he is the cause of the group-behaviour.

c. Imagine you were one of these boys, and write about what you would have done differently in his situation – either in the very end, or before….. I would have done, what they did in the particular situation. I would not rat out on Ralph. Nor disobey Jack’s orders. I am very split in this particular situation. I would not want anymore people to get killed.
