Answer:

  • Christianity

Explanation:

The author portrays a nightmarish scene: the bird of prey, turning in a broadening "gyre" (winding), can't hear the falconer; "Things go into disrepair; the inside can't hold"; turmoil is loosed upon the world; "The blood-darkened tide is loosed, and wherever/The service of honesty is suffocated." The best individuals, the speaker says, do not have all conviction, yet the most noticeably bad "are loaded with enthusiastic power."  

Without a doubt, the speaker affirms, the world is close to a disclosure; "Most likely the Second Coming is within reach." No sooner does he think about "the Second Coming," at that point he is harried by "a huge picture of the Spiritus Mundi, or the aggregate soul of humanity: some place in the desert, a monster sphinx ("A shape with lion body and the leader of a man,/A look as clear and barbarous as the sun") is moving, while the shadows of desert winged animals reel about it. The obscurity drops again over the speaker's sight, yet he knows that the sphinx’s twenty centuries of “stony sleep” have been made a nightmare by the motions of “a rocking cradle.” And what “rough beast,” he wonders, “its hour come round at last, / Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?”

Answer:

At first glance, Ralph is a central character who starts and completes William Golding novel The Lord of the Flies. From the onset of the novel, he is described as a “fair boy” with an “attractive appearance” (p7, 29). The author compares his stature as that of a boxer, “as far as width and heaviness of shoulders went, but there was a mildness about his mouth and eyes that proclaimed no devil” (p11). He has the physique and presence of a typical leader – strong but with a kind heart that makes him trustworthy. He is also described as being in an intermediate state, who has “lost prominent tummy of childhood and not yet old enough for adolescence” (p11). From this, the readers can infer that Ralph is still just another innocent boy not ready to realize the malicious evils of mankind.

The other boys initially accept Ralph as a leader. He is the first to summon all the boys with the conch, which serves as a symbol and token of authority. Although Jack expresses strong desire to become chief, the boys elect Ralph as a leader, suggesting an air of charisma that made him worthy of his position. He believes a leader has to “think, be wise… grab at a decision”, someone who can look after others and keep the group in

There are times when he discovers his own inner savage. He joins the hunt with Jack and rest of the group and becomes mesmerized over it, thinking, “hunting was good after all” (p162). He unleashes himself from the restraints of civilization and participates in the killing of Simon. He is, after all, just another innocent boy, a victim of the island. Nevertheless, he does remain as the last remnants of civilization until the ship arrives on the island. Although he did make it out of the forces of savagery, his new knowledge about mankind’s evil nature will change him forever, leaving him “weeping for the loss of innocence, and the darkness of man’s heart”
