LOTF Context:

The general wider context for the novel "Lord Of The Flies" is around World War II, in England/ Britain. Thousands of children all around England where evacuated from cities such as London that were being heavily bombed. They would travel by train or plane and leave their parents until the city was safe to re-enter. The children were aged anywhere under 18 years old. Most of them were sent to low profile country towns that had no threat of being under siege. Throughout World War II 3.5 million people (mostly children) had been evacuated.

The reason that the reader knows the context is because the author states that the jungle was similar to Ralph's "home country." It was also obvious that the boys where in an island from "We're on an island. We've been on the mountain-top and seen water all round. We saw no houses, no smoke, no footprints, no boats, no people. We're on an uninhabited island with no other people on it." A projected look of the island is under "The Island." "Planes dropping on England" shows that during war the easiest way to win is to turn savage.

Golding was trying to show the similarities between the war context and the island context. Both of them had a low moral integrity from most people and also the lack of a structured society. "Plane crash" shows the damage war can do to millions of people. All of these images where found in google images under world war II, Lord Of The Flies.

LOTF Conversation:

Taseen: ANTON, have you read the book Lord Of The Flies yet??

Anthony: nearly, last chapter.

Taseen: goood :D

Anthony: Wanna discuss some things in the book?

Taseen: ummm sure.. how about that Ralph guy ehh? He's an awesome kid that will never let his moral integrity be threatened by people like Jack.

Anthony: Well, not never cause remember the time where Jack accidentally let the fire out when Ralph saw the ship? "They let the bloody fire out." Rage? LOL

Taseen: Pfft who wouldn't be angry if someone had just let out their only chance of getting out of the island.

Anthony: Yeah, I agree that Ralph mostly will keep his composure and temperement as well as his moral integrity which is quite amazing. "We will escape" was said to Simon when he asked Ralph what was going to happen. If Simon had asked Jack that, he would have probably said "I don't care" or something, that shows what low morality is...

Taseen: Btw Piggy also has a really good moral integrity but if Piggy was the leader, the boys would never have survived as he prefers to keep to himself. That's why I personally like Ralph the most. Like remember in like chapter 6 or something Ralph had suggested the huts and stuff?

Anthony: I agree, Ralph was always trying to help the boys escape from the island whether they where loyal or not. For example he persists on the boys building shelters and huts. "Then there's huts. Shelters." Although the boys had resisted in the beginning it turned out to be a very wise decision to build them. Also when Jack only cares about the fire Ralph calls an assembly and states that the fire is the most important thing, "The fire is the most important thing on the island."

Taseen: Hey don't you think Golding purposely made Ralph the decent, honourable person in the story that doesn't die? I mean that's why he doesnt die at the end.

Anthony: Yeah, if the officer had found Ralph a minute later, he would have probably been killed.

Taseen: Ralph was definitely the best leader because he had a way to find order "We have the conch for a reason!"

Anthony: Yep I gotta go now cyaa
