LOTF Body Paragraphs

Will Walker

In the Lord of the Flies, the boys who follow Jack have long unkempt hair and act much wilder than the boys with shorter hair.  The boys who look up to Jack are following someone who has shown time and time again that he is starting to lose his sanity. For example, at the beginning of the book when all he wanted to do was hunt and not take care of the fire or other ways to get rescued (page #).   Jack was a clean-cut British schoolboy, with a wealthy background, but now that he is on the island, alone, and with no one to give him each meal of the day he is becoming barbaric in his actions.  He seems so desperate for meat and will do anything to get it, like when the fire went out Jack became really excited and jumped up with a knife in his hand and pretty much screaming screw the fire we probably wont get rescued so we to need find meat. Golding has made it clear that his hair is longer than all of the other boys, showing that he is the leader of the “wild boys” (page #).  Jack seems to be going back into the state of mind like his ancestors had because there is no one there to help him so he has decided to feed himself, at any cost.

Piggy, who has short hair throughout the book, is the only one that clearly thinks out the situations he faces.  He seems to have every idea for the rescue such as making a fire for boats to see and building houses so the children have a safe place to go and act as a comfort zone (page #).  Although the ideas are Piggy’s, he does not have the self confidence to tell the whole group of kids so he gets Ralph to make the speeches.  Ralph also has short hair at the beginning of the book, but even Ralph the respected leader falls to his human survival ways and his hair grows crazy and long.  Golding does this to say that people of high stature can lose it at any moment.  Hair is a symbol of sanity in the Lord of the Flies, throughout the book the kids change in big ways.
