"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.

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

- ied: cry, enjoy, bury, marry

-ed only: label, wait, stay, explain, fail, prefer

- d only: care, like, agree, use

double consonant +- ed : stop, jog, clap, hop

Explanation:

We form regular Past Simple verb forms by adding the termination -ed to the infinitive of the verb.

e.g. wait, stay, explain

However, there are some exceptions, as the result of the spelling rules.

If the verb ends in -e, we will add the termination -d:

e.g. care, like, use

If the verb ends in a vowel and a consonant, we double the consonant before -ed:

eg. stop, clap, hop

If the verb ends in consonant and -y, we take off the y and add -ied.

e.g. cry, enjoy, marry
