"Lord of the Flies"

                 The Pig's Head also known as the "Lord of the Flies" was created as a gift for the beastie by Jack and his hunters. However this idea was just a hoax  that represent Fear from within and loss of Inocense. In the story "Lord of the Flies" by Malcolm Gladwell, The evolution of attitude and emotions towards the characteristic of every boys on the island changed dramatically. Throughout the story, Fear had been a factor for most of the boys especially the "littluns". With this in mind they believed that their is a beast on the island. This miss-understanding leads through scavagery and loss of innocence for most of them. One of the choir boys named Simon was introduced by the author to be the contrast for the "Lord of the Flies". He is a wise vivid boy who has an open minded attitude towards everything and most importantly he's the only one who can "talk and understand" the the pig's head. He believed that there are no monsters on the Island but its within every human beings. "Fancy Thinking that the beast was something you could hunt, and kill... You knew, didn't you? I'm part of you? Close, Close, Close! Im the reason why its no go? Why things are what they are?" (143)

Simon talking to the pigs head.

The conversation of Simon and "The Lord of the Flies" created clearance of why the boys changed to being an intellectual English guys to being merciless hunters. This also represent that there are no such thing as a "beast" but a beast can be formed through a persons behaviour and attitudes towards others. "I know there isn't no beast- not with claused and all of that, i mean... but i know there isnt no fear either ... unless we get frightened on people (104). At first, the beast was nothing but the imaginary of the "littleluns". they give their fear a name and a shape in their mind.
 In conclusion, Gladwell introduced a dark society. The "Lord of the Flies" tries to lead the kids to hell. The prolong stay on the island create a devastating environment prone to disaster.
