Theme and plot from chapter 9-12for lord of the flies

Radda [10]

Answer:

Simon awakens and finds the air dark and humid with an approaching storm. His nose is bleeding, and he staggers toward the mountain in a daze. He crawls up the hill and, in the failing light, sees the dead pilot with his flapping parachute. Watching the parachute rise and fall with the wind, Simon realizes that the boys have mistaken this harmless object for the deadly beast that has plunged their entire group into chaos. When Simon sees the corpse of the parachutist, he begins to vomit. When he is finished, he untangles the parachute lines, freeing the parachute from the rocks. Anxious to prove to the group that the beast is not real after all, Simon stumbles toward the distant light of the fire at Jack’s feast to tell the other boys what he has seen.

Piggy and Ralph go to the feast with the hopes that they will be able to keep some control over events. At the feast, the boys are laughing and eating the roasted pig. Jack sits like a king on a throne, his face painted like a savage, languidly issuing commands, and waited on by boys acting as his servants. After the large meal, Jack extends an invitation to all of Ralph’s followers to join his tribe. Most of them accept, despite Ralph’s attempts to dissuade them. As it starts to rain, Ralph asks Jack how he plans to weather the storm considering he has not built any shelters. In response, Jack orders his tribe to do its wild hunting dance.

Chanting and dancing in several separate circles along the beach, the boys are caught up in a kind of frenzy. Even Ralph and Piggy, swept away by the excitement, dance on the fringes of the group. The boys again reenact the hunting of the pig and reach a high pitch of frenzied energy as they chant and dance. Suddenly, the boys see a shadowy figure creep out of the forest—it is Simon. In their wild state, however, the boys do not recognize him. Shouting that he is the beast, the boys descend upon Simon and start to tear him apart with their bare hands and teeth. Simon tries desperately to explain what has happened and to remind them of who he is, but he trips and plunges over the rocks onto the beach. The boys fall on him violently and kill him.

The storm explodes over the island. In the whipping rain, the boys run for shelter. Howling wind and waves wash Simon’s mangled corpse into the ocean, where it drifts away, surrounded by glowing fish. At the same time, the wind blows the body of the parachutist off the side of the mountain and onto the beach, sending the boys screaming into the darkness.

Analysis

With the brutal, animalistic murder of Simon, the last vestige of civilized order on the island is stripped away, and brutality and chaos take over. By this point, the boys in Jack’s camp are all but inhuman savages, and Ralph’s few remaining allies suffer dwindling spirits and consider joining Jack. Even Ralph and Piggy themselves get swept up in the ritual dance around Jack’s banquet fire. The storm that batters the island after Simon’s death pounds home the catastrophe of the murder and physically embodies the chaos and anarchy that have overtaken the island. Significantly, the storm also washes away the bodies of Simon and the parachutist, eradicating proof that the beast does not exist.

Jack makes the beast into a godlike figure, a kind of totem he uses to rule and manipulate the members of his tribe. He attributes to the beast both immortality and the power to change form, making it an enemy to be feared and an idol to be worshiped. The importance of the figure of the beast in the novel cannot be overstated, for it gives Jack’s tribe a common enemy (the beast), a common system of belief (their conviction that the mythical beast exists), a reason to obey Jack (protection from the beast), and even a developing system of primitive symbolism and iconography (face paint and the Lord of the Flies).

After reading about the adventures that Ulysses and his men underwent, create a new adventure for him. Be sure that you include

nekit [7.7K]

After the fall of Troy, Odysseus sets out to return home to his homeland of Ithaca, following the ten-year Trojan War. On his way, he meets many perils that deprive him of his possessions, his man, & even his own status.
Three days out at sea following the start of the adventure, Odysseus's ship & the rest of the convoy were separated due to a storm. After the storm, Odysseus finds out that he was lost, and that only with the hand of God can he get home.
After getting lost, land was sighted at 14.5994°S, 28.6731°W (made this up), & they decided to dock there to replenish any supplies. After sending a scout party that failed to return, Odysseus led a group to explore the land. They soon came to a cave that seemed like it had occupants, however, the master of the house was not there. Odysseus decided to take some of the food & wait for the master of the house. Suddenly, the master came back at Night, & asked the intruders what they were doing. He, after finding out that Odysseus was looking for food & directions, trapped them inside & ate 4 out of 15 of his mates. Shocked, the last of his men sworn revenge, and came up with a plan to kill the master. The next day, for breakfast, the master of the house dwindled the amount of men Odysseus had down to 7. On the return from checking the island, Odysseus gave the master a drink. He then quickly finished off the slumbering monster & escaped through a small crack & left on his ship back home.

At -12.998426°S, -38.552154°E, Odysseus went through a narrow strait, and battled off the monster & the natives of the land, reducing his overall crew to 900. On top of that, he met a whirling pool & a kraken, which destroyed all but one of his ships.

Weary of the sea, and defeated by nature & the gods, Odysseus landed at 19.8968°N, 155.5828°W, to make a sacrifice.(& because there isn't enough space, Ill just skip the the back. You can fill in some stuff)

......

With that, Odysseus made it back, with the help of the indigenous tribes located at Present-day Morocco, & returned back to Greece safe, but broken because of the lose of his men & his ships.
