This novel is an example of the article. The article talks about violence or thinking of a way to stop violence. The arguments between Jack and Ralph result in Piggy’s death. I guess you can say that violence is a part of life. Just like what Gandhi said, “The law will work just like the law of gravitatrion will work, whether we accept it or not.” this law occurs in every human beings life and effects them emotionally and physically.

Character Transformation: Ralph
Passages from Chapters 1-6 and Chapters 7-12
Quote from Chapter 1:
“He was old enough, twelve years and a few months, to have lost the prominent tummy of childhood but not yet old enough for adolecence to have made him awkward.” (page 10)
Quote from Chapter 7:
“Sitting, Ralph was aware of the neat for the first time that day. He pulled distastefully at his gray shirt and wondered whether he might undertake the adventure of washing it.” (page 109)
Explanation for both Quotes:
Ralph, the first character introduced to the audience, is probably the most likable character in the entire story. Although he does not ponder such deeply like Piggy, is not as spiritual like Simon, or as energetic as Jack. He is described as being a playful, innocent child in the beginning, but towards the end he matures significantly.
Throughout the book, Ralph faces both internal and external conflicts and from those conflicts he greatly matures. Ralph always has the strong belief that all the children will be saved from the island sooner or later. He is so sure that he even insists that they should have fire at all times to signal. Ralph is one of the few boys who realize that the only way to survive is through peace and order. Because he summons the boys at the beginning of the novel with the conch he and Piggy find, they look upon him as the most responsible of the boys and elect him as a chief over the humiliated Jack. Moreover, I think Ralph is Golding’s symbolic method of democracy. Ralph seems like a leader trying, to keep unfavorable things from happening.

Rush!
Don’t let him get away
to the outer world
life is good the way it is
and he is part of it
he can go if he wants to
but he knows
it will not be the same
as it is in here
Don’t let him get away
to the outer world
It is bad for him
He can go if he wants to
But it is good in here We like it
We like it in here
If you want to go to the outer world
life will not be the same
And you will come back in
Oh Oh Oh Oh
You will come back
I know
