  5. Ralph vs. Jack: Jack represents evil in the novel. Ralph represents visdom and the good. Ralph versus Jack is like the battle of two opposite sides like Hell / Heaven , Good/ Evil , Order/ Chaos. Fire shows who is the leader so because of being greedy Jack backstabs Ralph and tarts to rebel. Jack Finally steals the fire and sets up a better , stronger but in a way a camp in chaos.Ralph still tries to warn the others that the choice they made is wrong.

    Boys vs. Beastie: The boys of the island represents the unprotected and scared people. Beast is the fear that consumes the boy. While there isn’t a beast at the island the boys make the beast as a real object in the novel.

    Boys vs. Nature: Boys surely consume nature at the end of the novel. It was Jack’s unyielding behaviors and the rebellious actions that bringed the destructions of island.At the first time everyone was calm and cool. But Jack ruined everything. He even brought death to some of his frinds in a sad way…

    Jack vs. Society:Jack has a strong personality than any other boys at the island. At first he was with Ralph’s side. But when Jack’s and Ralph’s needs splitted Jack started to convince the boys of the island to join his camp. So he started to search what the boys want.So he came up with a wild boar. As soon as he hunted the boar and fed the boys , most of the boys roined o his group.
    Boys vs. Piggy: In the novel Piggy is a really fat boy with reading glasses. Because of his weight the boys of the camp always underestimate Piggy’s toughts.Piggy always tries to be a logical to help out his friends. Bt anyways the boys kills Piggy without thinking.

  6. Like i said before, this book has lots of conflicts. One of them is Ralph versus Jack conflict. This conflict represents good and evil and if you ask me, evil owns good in this story. The second conflict that i saw is boys versus beast conflict. This second conflict represents stupidity and fears of boys. They can easily believe in such things because they are so young. The other conflict I was is Jack versus society conflict. At first Jack was alone but, with his hatred he achieves his aim and he lures all littluns to his own tribe by that he gains more power and he becomes more furious. The last conflict that i think of it, is boys versus nature. It represents the main survival thing. They try to live on the island and they try to get in a society to not be own their own.

  8. Ralph vs. Jack: They represent evil vs. good. Jack is an ambitious boy. He always tries to be leader because of his ego and his ambitious. Ralph always tries to help people and he tries to build shelters for littluns. He doesn't want to do it but he knows that he should do it. Jack doesn't help anyone. Hunting became an obsession for him and he always tries to hunt alive things.
    Boys vs. Beastie: In the beginning littluns think that there is monster in the island. In the course of time Simon knows that there is no beast in the island and he also knows that real monster is inside to children. Children loose their control and they try to beat each other.
    Boy vs. Nature: Children try to be alive in the island. They try to protect their selves. Fire, heavy rain, storm… are their enemies. Shelters aren’t enough for protect children. Against to nature they are defenseless.
    Boys vs. Piggy: Piggy is intelligent boy. He always sais true things and he always talk about their rescue. Generally children don’t listen Piggy.

  15. *Ralph vs Jack
    Jack is very ambitıous character. He wants every thing. Till he gets he never stop. For example he wants to hunt a pig till he hunts he didn’t stop and he always went to hunting. He didn’t helped to the others to do shelters or such things. On the other hand Ralph always things the others and Works for the other. Thats why they argue and divided.

    *Boys vs Beast
    Beast is a symbol of fears. The conflict between boys and beast shows that their fears however there is no beast

    *Boys vs Nature
    In the island they became a part of nature. They make use of nature every part of their life from they felt down. Make a fire, doing shelters, sticks for hunting…

    *Boys vs Piggy

  16. Ralph vs. Jack – Ralph is a responsible boy, but Jack’s has no responcibility what so ever. Jack always wants to hunt, whereas Ralph wants to make signal fires to rescue them. Ralph wants to keep the fire burning so that they would get rescued, but Jack doesn’t care about getting rescued. Ralph is civilized whereas Jack is savage. Ralph represents visdom and good. Jack represents savagery.

    Boys vs. Beastie –The littleuns presents the middle class unprotected people. The beast represents the boys fears. They are scared from the beast, they think that they actually saw it in the island. They always search for the beast. And they make the beast a reel thing in the novel.

    Boys vs. Nature – They burn forrests to make them fires. They use the nature to be recued and hopefully stay alive. Jack with his fallowers damage the forrest while hunting pigs

    Boys vs. Piggy- No one really care for him they treat him badly because of his physical appearence. Piggy becames the most passive boy in the island because of the treatments of the local boys show him. Because of their hatred they kill Piggy with a big rock.
