Answer: It is ironic that the same fire that is a threat to Ralph's life actually prevents him from dying.

Explanation:

In <em>Lord of the Files</em> (1954), William Golding tells a story about the British boys who find themselves on a desert island.

At the end of the novel, it is Ralph's intention to create a signal fire so that the rescuers notice them. However, the fire that Jack sets rages and spreads through the forest. Jack's plan is to kill Ralph with the smoke from the fire. Instead of a sign used to attract attention, the fire thus becomes a danger to Ralph's life. The fire ultimately saves the boys, but the irony is that the fire that Jack set to kill Ralph actually saved him from dying, as they got rescued.

Why is it important to embrace yourself, understand your limits, have self-esteem and speak up about what you need?
erastova [34]
Embracing yourself means liking yourself for who you are, accepting yourself for who you are. Embracing yourself can help with boosting your self confidence. Understand your limits means how far you shouldn’t go to hurt others. Knowing how far you should take something like a joke not only protects other feelings but prevent any problems from starting. It also is a sign of respect for others. Self esteem is good to have when you are doubting yourself and when you feel like you can’t do it. It is always good to remind yourself that you can do anything if you try hard enough. If you don’t speak up when you need something, everyone will assume that you are fine and don’t want certain things. When you need something it is best to speak up and get it before you regret it further down the road.
