Stuck in a dark room, not knowing the location or time, there are two choices to choose from, calmness or violence. Calmness will only last for a short amount of time unlike violence which will overpower the calmness rapidly. As if the boys in the Lord of the Flies by William Golding were stuck in a dark room, they were stuck on an island without knowing the location or time. Calmness and violence appear on the island through different characters and in the end violence, or savagery, wins over calmness, or civilization. Because a group of boys crash on an island with no adults surviving,(adverb clause) Ralph takes control and believes having everyone in a rule-based group will bring them rescue soon. Jack, who had an opposite opinion,(adjective

When the boys first appeared on the island, Ralph wanted to gather everybody that could possibly be on the island.(complex sentence) He began blowing a conch and “by the time Ralph finished blowing the conch the platform was crowded” (Golding 32). The boys on the island listened to civilization and no sign of savagery was in sight.(compound sentence) That Ralph wants to remain civilized proves there is no problems and no conflict.(noun clause) To remain order, the boys all gathered together and Ralph thought of the idea to select a leader. There was a group of boys with Ralph and a group of boys with Jack but Ralph brought them all together with the conch so the boys elected Ralph as the leader (Golding 23). The boys prefer civilization over savagery at this point because Ralph gathered everyone to form a large group. Now chief,(appositive phrase) Ralph attempts to make everyone content, so when he won the election he gave Jack the responsibility on the hunters. Since civilization is in action, Ralph called an assembly to establish rules to keep this civilization in order. Ralph thought of the idea of having guidelines so the boys can stay organized until rescue comes their way. To keep civilization (infinitive phrase) Ralph thought “[giving] the conch to the next person to speak. He can note it when he’s speaking” (Golding 33) …show more content…
In the beginning of the story, (prep phrase) civilization appeared far more than savagery had appeared with the leadership of Ralph and his ability to gather everyone to establish rules. As the story goes on a few of the boys leave Ralphs civilized group to become more violent and savage with Jack. Civilization started to deteriorate while savagery began to rise up in the power position. Ralph and Jack had become two separate groups and in the end Ralph becomes savage along with the rest of the boys. The realization that the cruelty of humankind destroys not a monster comes into the story when the boys get saved by a naval officer and notice the destruction they have done to themselves and the island. Society attacking society ends in destruction on both sides because in reality they are both the same. Knowing that humankind demolishes should come to realization in society that no good will come from destroying each other because it will only result in the destruction of human nature. Golding wants to get the point across that society does not get defeated by an outside force but rather society gets defeated because of the cruelty of humankind and how society destroys itself. The inhumanity of humankind mirrors violence and destruction in which no relief will come about therefore realizing that the barbarity of humankind destroys society
