Writers Block, English Essay due Tomorrow! Help?
So, tomorrow I have an English essay on Lord of the Flies due and I have an extreme case of writers block!
“Write one detailed essay on how society is established in the first two-three chapters in Lord of the Flies, and how that society is showing signs of falling apart.”
I’m normally really good at English, but I’m stuck in this one. Can anyone help me out, please? It would be amazing.
Chapters 1 – 3 are:
1.The Sound of the Shell
2.Fire on the Mountain
3.Huts on the Beach
I’ve already tried Sparks Notes, it didn’t help.

UGH Lord of the Flies was the first book I really would have burnt. From memory I would say it was Darwin-esq the stronger/smarter taking over. But then again I haven’t read it in years and didn’t pay much attention when I did.
Sorry I can’t be much help.

THIS WORKS E V E R Y SINGLE TIME!!!
You have to physically do EVERY step, though. :]
1. First stand up, and clutch your pen; this unspoken experience is about to begin.
2. Raise your arms to the clouds and chat with the stars- soon your writers block will be put behind bars.
3. Kick off your shoes and strip off your socks- these silly things are as useless as clocks.
4. Nix the pencil, and good riddance to that eraser- how dare they mock you for being a mistake-maker!
5. Close your eyes and dance all around, for the world really is your parade ground!
6. Hum a tune, or compose a melody- then let the world ring, for joy is your felony!
7. Swoon in a memory, laugh out with the sun- then take a deep bow, you’re finally done.

Im not going to write you a paper but i will give you some topics. They build society by creating rules (the scene where they refer back to school), by voting for their leader (where Ralph wins over Jack), and designating people to certain tasks (The choir boys become hunters)
It starts to fall apart when Jack and Ralph start arguing, The mask, Jack abandoning his post at the fire to go hunting, the obsession with killing, the kids refusing to help build shelter and swiming instead.

Imagine yourself in an endless field of green. Now walk about a bit and start looking around for something…anything. You could possibly be digging for treasure…the possibilities are endless. Let’s stick with searching for treasure. Imagine your shovel has just hit off the top of the chest. You carefully dig around it and pull it out the ground…and it’s filled with the most amazing things. Now look at your essay. Get a sheet of paper, jot a few ideas down and generally just dig around for inspiration…it should come.

If a child is raised in a home with too much organization and too much over protectiveness, there is a possibility that the child will become savage. The novel, Lord of the Flies By William Golding is about a group of boys, Piggy, Simon, Jack, and Ralph, who are stranded on a deserted island. They go from innocent English boys to wild savages. The first day the boys were on the island Piggy found the conch and decided that it represented law and order. Ralph blew into the conch to get all the other boys attention so they could meet on the beach and have an assembly. Whenever anybody wanted to talk during an assembly they needed to have the conch and they couldn’t’ talk out of turn. While all the boys were on top of the mountain Jack stated that the conch didn’t count on the top. The other boys didn’t agree with this and decided Jack had broken the rules by speaking out of turn. Besides using the conch the boys needed to select a chief. Ralph blew into the conch to get everyone’s attention. Without the conch representing law and order, they would have been all out of hand. Three things in my society that represent law and order are parents, teachers, and police.
The first symbol of law and order in my society is parents. They represent law because of the restrictions that they give you. They represent order because of that authority that they have of making you do what they say. Overall, they rule the house and tell you whether you are allowed to do certain things or not. Parents keep discipline in your house and set guide lines of how they want you to be. “I’ll give the conch to the next person to speak. He can hold it when he’s speaking.” (Golding 33)
Another symbol of law and order in my society is teachers. Teachers teach students how to behave. They also give us the opportunity to learn about all different subjects to make ourselves more intelligent. Teachers also discipline us by giving us detentions when we are shouting out, talking when we’re not supposed to, or when we disrupt the class. Teachers try to prepare us for college so we can get a good job. “And another thing. We can’t have everybody talking at once. We’ll have to have ‘hands up’ like we do at school.” “He held the conch before his face and glanced around the mouth, then I’ll give you the conch.” (Golding 33)
Finally, police is also a symbol of law and order in my society. Police represent law and order because they keep our society from becoming corrupt by enforcing the rules and restrictions placed by the government. They enforce these rules by taking action and correcting those who break them, preventing those who intend on breaking the rules from breaking them. They also teach others these rules in order to spread order through the society. “Piggy’s got the conch, “Let him speak!”” “With the conch I’m calling a meeting even if we have to go on into the dark down on the platform when I blow it. Now.”
Parents, teachers, and police are symbols of law and order in my society. Parents are a symbol of law and order because they tell us rules and teach us how to act. Teachers is a symbol of law and order because they teach us the things we need to learn in life and they discipline us when needed so we know never to do it again. Police is a symbol of law and order because they keep all of the towns civilized places to live and keep everyone safe. My society is a successful civilization because law and order is maintained. Unfortunately, in The Lord of the Flies, law and order broke down and society collapsed.
that was mine. haha
