Question

Climaxes of the novel Lord of the Flies, Porfa

Answer 1

The plot of The Lord of the Flies, by William GoldingSeveral children and preteens English is in a deserted island, after the airplane where they traveled was demolished by enemy fire. They have no adults to guide them, so they must organize themselves, while they wait to be rescued.
They form a group, in which stand out three characters:
Ralph, an attractive and moderately intelligent boy, who takes the lead after a vote, which wins thanks to the argument of having obtained a conch shell with which he has called everyone and managed to reunite them. This will serve to convene future assemblies and maintain order in them (only can speak who holds the said shell).
Piggy, a plump, shy, insecure boy, but with more intelligence and sanity than others. He is Ralph's chief friend and counselor.
Jack, thin and red-headed, aspired to be the leader of the group. He organizes a group of hunters to get meat, and shows great ambition and appreciation for the violence.
Other secondary characters are a pair of twins, obedient and willing to follow the leader; Roger, the henchman of Jack and that owns the group more violent temperament; and Simon, a boy with epilepsy, shy but very cooperative.
At first, Ralph and Piggy manage to organize the group, build shelters and light a fire, using Piggy's glasses as a magnifying glass to light it. The leader insists on the need to keep it active, because he thinks the smoke will be the signal that will allow them to find them.
However, Jack, who does not hide his desire to get "the power", turns the hunt into the main activity. In fact, it manages to hunt several wild boars, which allows them to eat meat; it gives it some popularity. The activity also gives rise to the game, and to the creation of a kind of ritual dance.
At the same time, the myth of a beast that haunts them is created, which is accentuated when they see, in the distance, the corpse of a parachutist. Jack creates the obligation to leave the head of each boar that they kill as an offering to the beast.
In a moment of paroxysm, while performing the ritual dance, the group confuses Simon with the beast and that ends up dying from the blows he receives. In this scene, Simon watches one of the wild boar heads, surrounded by flies, and associates it with the demonic figure that supposedly pursues them. From there comes the title of the work: The lord of the flies.
This story of William Golding reaches the climax when Jack separates of the group to form own one and steals the glasses of Piggy to light a bonfire where to roast the meat.
Facing Ralph and Piggy with Jack and his followers, Roger rolls a huge stone that kills Piggy.
Ralph must flee, and thus begins a chase of the whole group against him. Under Jack's direction, they light fires at various points to try to get him out of hiding; they reach him until Ralph, about to be "hunted", arrives at the beach,where he meets an officer and three sailors who have come from a cruise in a rescue boat.
The officer thinks that the persecution was a kind of game, which no boy refutes and tells them that they have found them thanks to the fire. To his question about who was the boss, Ralph replies (Jack hesitates but does not dare to contradict him). In the end, Ralph begins to sob and spreads his crying to all the other guys.
