  • Essay / Government Themes in Lord Of The Flies - 1959

    The Lord of the Flies EssayIn the book Lord of the Flies, William Golding connects a disaster to a group of small English children with government and civic administration. There are at least five different ways in which William Golding connects the citizens and the boys stranded on the island. Some events are reflected directly by our government. Constitutional principles are closely related to popular sovereignty, limitation of powers, sharing of powers, separation of powers, and protection against tyranny. There are many different elements of government, including voting, a symbol of government authority, and committees being some of the most important. For example, voting is an important part of our government. It is the duty of citizens to vote for who they want and who makes decisions for them. If you had not voted, you could not in any way complain about what or who was elected because you did not fulfill your duty. There are three different times when people vote in the Lord of the Flies book. “A leader!” A leader! “I should be leader,” Jack said with simple arrogance, “because I'm the chapter chorister and head boy. I can sing C sharp. Another buzz. “Well,” said Jack, “I…” He hesitated. The black boy, Roger, finally stirred and spoke. “Let’s vote. " 'Yes!' “Vote for the leader!” » “Let's vote…” “He with the shell. “Ralph!” Ralph! “Let him be the leader with the trumpet. " 'All right. Who wants Jack to be leader? With mournful obedience the choir raised their hands. “Who wants me? » Every hand outside the choir, except Piggy's, immediately went up. Then Piggy, in turn, reluctantly raised his hand in the air. Ralph mattered. “I’m the boss then. » (22-23). ​​This symbolizes an election that would take place when we vote for our president. There are two different parties on the island, just like in our government. The choir could represent the Republicans and the rest of the boys could represent the Democrats. In the quote: “Maybe that’s what the beast is: a ghost.” » The assembly was shaken as if by a wind. “What do you want me to say then?” I was wrong to call this meeting so late. We will have to vote for them; about ghosts, I mean; and then go to the shelters because we are all tired.
