PBA: Chris Lamoureux The author of Lord Of The Flies, William Golding, has an interesting, and rather valid take on the nature of man. He believes all men are inherently evil.

Another one of Golding?s main points is the ?sinful nature? of man, due to the fact that, biblically speaking, man is gripped by Original Sin. A fallen being, he is sinful in nature. Therefore, Golding concludes, man is inherently evil.

In his first novel, William Golding used a group of boys stranded on a tropical island to illustrate the malicious nature of mankind. Lord of the Flies dealt with changes that the boys underwent as they gradually adapted to the isolated freedom from society. Three main characters depicted different effects on certain individuals under those circumstances. Jack Merridew began as the arrogant and self-righteous leader of a choir. The freedom of the island allowed him to further develop the darker side of his personality as the Chief of a savage tribe.

Lord of the Flies Plan Sheet v2 Thesis Statement: Throughout William Golding?s Lord of the Flies, the boy?s perceptions and descriptions of the conch change to reflect the struggle between Ralph and Jack, or between the traditional values of civilization and savagery. Paragraph #1: Initially the conch is colorful and vibrant. It possesses a commanding aura which not only gets Ralph elected chief, but also holds some sway over the boys. In color the shell was a deep cream, touched here and there with fading pink. P16 Described as a ?glistening thing? P16 Where?s the man with the trumpet? P20 But there was a stillness about Ralph as he sat that marked him out: there was his size?and most obscurely, yet most powerfully, there was the conch. P22-23
