-I think Golding demonstrated diction when he wrote: “Piggy sat expressionless behind the bright wall of his myopia. » Although myopia primarily refers to short-sightedness, which is very evident in Piggy, the definition also mentions a "lack of intellectual insight." I believe Golding used this diction to show how Piggy has lost some of his intelligence without being able to see, and sits "expressionless". Piggy is still clinging to what little civilization he has left, as he forces Ralph to blow the conch even though there are only four boys left, as evidenced when he says, "That's all that We have. » This shows that although ineffective, calling an assembly with order and speaking in turn still comforts Piggy, and ultimately shows that he is still civilized. -Piggy is still naive to the point that he believes Jack will return his glasses just because he does. the right thing to do, highlighting Piggy's lack of social skills. I wonder if Piggy will actually say these things to Jack? Personally, I hope not, because I think it will cause him a lot of trouble. My previous point about face paint depicting savagery is now proven when Golding writes: "They understood only too well the liberation in savagery that concealing paint brought." "-Ralph is strongly against painting their faces, proving how it represents civility and the opposite of savagery. -I think fire is used as a symbol of civilization, because the goal of civilized boys is to keep up the fire and the smoke, while the hunters do not care. Golding writes that Samneric "examined Ralph with curiosity, as if they were seeing him for the first time", showing how much Samneric had changed. realize that Ralph is capable of making mistakes, and also how this sitting... middle of paper... and back" seems a bit random on this page, as he is mainly thinking about how to attack does the savage Ralph think back to what Simon said in desperation? The naval officer says, "fun and games" good-naturedly, just like how the boys described it at the beginning of the. book However, in the end the idea of ​​"fun and games" quickly turns to murder and evil, which I think shows the massive contrast between the beginning and the end of the novel. I think it's quite ironic that the smoke attracted the naval forces. officer, because his real intention was bad; to smoke Ralph out of the forest. However, this actually attracted a naval officer and ultimately saved Ralph's life as well as all the other boys. Percival seems to have forgotten his name and address, which I think highlights the complete collapse of civilization, as names and address play an important role. of this.
