At midnight a ghastly figure appears; the plaque has infiltrated the castle. The plague kills Prospero after going after the guest who has so little humor and levity. When the remaining guests try to attack the figure, it is revealed that there is no one beneath the costume and the guests all perish.

However, by the end of the novel when the conch shell breaks at a confrontation between Jack and Ralp, this exemplifies the complete loss of order and democracy. Simon liked to have time by himself to avoid the bickering between the other boys. Simon found a clearing away from everyone else and eventually stumbled across the beast that everyone in the tribe was so terrified by. Simon ran to tell the tribe that the beast was just a dead parachutist. However, while Simon was trying to explain that the beast was not real he was mistaken for the beast.
The Lord of the Flies by William Golding is about a group of British school boys who become stranded on an island after a plane crash. They live in paradise until human nature takes over and democracy fails which makes many of the boys turn savage and fight amongst each other. Golding uses literary elements to show “It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe, which lures him to evil ways.” The first literary device that proves this quote true is motif. Jack and his hunters became obsessed with the act of killing the pig because they were obsessed with the act of savagery and brutality. They weren’t just killing for the survival and/or by the fact that they felt threatened by the pig.
Despite all this, he goes up the mountain & ,discovers that the beast is in fact just a man. Then he vomits and staggers down the mountain. By now, Ralph and Piggy (both rather ravenous) are attending a big party that Jacki is throwing. Simon, still bloody, sweaty, and covered in puke, stumbles down into the center of the crazed boys, tries to tell them about the beast, but he is unrecognizable and the boys jab at him with their spears until he is dead. Again, the boys are portrayed as savage animals.
‘You knew, didn’t you? I’m part of you?’”(133). After the conversation with the Lord of the Flies, Simon goes unconscious, when Simon wakes up, he runs to the camp to tell everyone what he had just encountered. It was raining and there was thunder and lightning, thinking Simon is the beast, the boys deliriously murder him, “At once the crowd surged after it, poured down the rock, leapt on to the beast, screamed, struck, bit, tore. There were no words, no movements but the tearing of teeth and claws” (141).
He tells of a song that he and his other friends sung when they were kids called “ Beasts of England” and leads the animals in the song. Jones comes out when he hears the noise of the animals singing and tries to get them to be quiet by shooting into the air, but he slips in the mud and when his shotgun hit’s the ground it fires off and kills old major. Another difference in the movie than in the book is that in the novel the windmill gets destroyed twice and in the movie only once. The first time in the book is when there is a big storm and it knocks the windmill over. The second time is at the second battle and the people come in with dynamite and blow the windmill up.
The Burrowing owl has a yellow beak; they have brown heads, and wings that are spotted feathers. It eats mice, rats, ground squirrels, moles, beetles, grasshoppers, small birds, reptiles, and small amphibians. Its predators are large owls, hawks, falcons, badgers, skunks, ferrets, armadillos, snakes, and domestic cats, and dogs. The Burrowing Owl is diurnal, so it is awake during the day. It spends most of its time on the ground, but can hover in search of prey.
"Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man's heart, and the fall through the air of a true, wise friend called Piggy. "(LOFTF, pg 207) These lines from the end of Chapter 12 occur near the close of the novel, after the boys encounter the naval officer, who appears as if out of nowhere to save them. When Ralph sees the officer, his sudden realization that he is safe and will be returned to civilization plunges him into a reflective despair. Another important character in the novel is named Jack. Jack is the antagonist in Lord of the Flies.
The cave was home to a Cyclops. He was going to eat my men and I but I got the Cyclops drunk which caused him to pass out. Then, I poked the Cyclops eye with a red hot burning stake. Several of my men and I made it out of the cave stealth from tying us to the bottom of his sheep because I knew that the Cyclops always, as a daily routine, let his sheep out to do their business. "The Cyclops bellowed and the rock roared round him, and we fell back in fear.
