At the beginning of the book, Ralph is the leader, he's the one keeping order and the peace. He is the one who made the boys build a signal fire. But Jack becomes a bully to him and others. Over time the boys began acting like savages. Jack uses the fear of the boys to overthrow Ralph. the overthrowing symbolized ending of the order. The boys now act like savages. The universal theme would be riots. Where a mass number of people try to overthrow or destroy government officials. When the US was leaving Britain in the eyes of Britain you could say it was denying the order over the colonies. That turned into a war over indecency.

The correct answer is metaphor.
A metaphor is a rhetorical figure of speech where two or more things are symbolically compared, without using the words such as like or as (because that would be a simile). This whole poem is symbolical/metaphorical - it talks about the passage of time and how everything is transient and fleeting.
The line is, "For French of Paris was not hers to know.".
That is the answer for PLATO users. Hope this helps!
