"The imaginary beast that frightens all the boys stands for the primal instinct of savagery that exists within all human beings. The boys are afraid of the beast, but only Simon reaches the realization that they fear the beast because it exists within each of them."

The name, “Lord of the Flies” is a translation (although many think it is a mistranslation) of the word Beelzebub which itself refers to the devil and evil. The relationship between the Lord of the Flies and the Beast is that they are the same. The physical Beast and the Lord of the Flies are both made up, but not nonexistent. Simon finds out that the Beast exists in the personality of everyone, and it drives the boys to rely on their instincts and become savages.

2 Piggy, his glasses and the conch are symbols of civilization, order and common sense; each represents something different. For instance, Piggy represents common sense on the island; through out the book Piggy is the one to offer sensible and civil ideas, like the conch. Without Piggy having noticed the conch the boys on the island would have dwindled away quicker than they did. This leads to the conch; which represents orders. Having had the conch the boys were able to decide who was chief and when to speak in their assemblies. The conch provided government and order to the boys. Without it the boys would not have figured:
a way to be rescued
division of work such as hunters, fire worker, and chief
or place to build a smoke signal fire.
Then you have Piggy's glasses, the symbol of civilization. The glasses were used to create fire; which is something that numerous civilizations use to cook stay warm and clean. To have fire the boys cling to their former selves as best they can. Yet when the fire is gone so is the boys civil mind.
In conclusion, all these things and beings was like a strand of the boys civilization that held them to their former lives and state of mind. AS the story continued though the boys were losing that strand to the savagery to par-took in.

3 When the boys started hurting each other. They were acting like uncivilized, brutal, cruel, barbaric animals.

Fill in the blank with some/any/no/much/many/a lot of I didn't sleep ___ hours last night

Fantom [35]

Answer and Explanation:

If you are having a hard time figuring out which word goes into the black, try plugging all the words in to see if it makes sense.

I didn't sleep ___ hours last night

I didn't sleep some hours last night.

- This doesn't sound right; Some can be used for plural nouns, but because of the way this sentence is structured, it can't be applied.

I didn't sleep any hours last night.

- Another way of saying any (in this case) is at all, which would mean the sentence needs to be restructured, which we can't do.

I didn't sleep no hours last night .

- This isn't correct, because it contains a double negative, which is when two negative words are used in the same clause (group of words containing a verb) to explain a single negative idea.

I didn't sleep much hours last night.

- Due to hours being a countable plural noun, we can't use much, therefore this is incorrect.

I didn't sleep many hours last night.

- This is correct! If you wanted to replace an amount of hours slept (or not slept), you can use many to show you slept for x amount of time without being specific.
