lord of the flies
...ss. He also must be able to maintain order and democracy. First I did it pretty well; I was democratic chosen to be their leader, but then when I lost my faithful friends, who also were good advisors. My authority started to decrease. Q: How did Jack persuade the others to join his tribe? A: Well I guess because of his savage personality and ability to feel what the people wanted to hear. This ability had allowed him to overtake my position. Everybody wanted to hunt pigs for fun, but it was not the most important thing to do. I often told them to keep the signal fire burning and start building some shelters first. But because of the lack of will to look forward by most of the boys, the boys just did things for fun. Q: When did you realize that your friendship with Jack would turn out to a fight? A: From the beginning my friendship with Jack was very fragile. Jack always wanted to hunt and didn’t realize that the signal fire was more important. That’s why I always argued with him. Later on Jack tried to make everybody loyal to him. Most of the older boys were impressed by Jack’s leadership, from that moment I was the enemy of Jack. Q: When did you feel that chaos and fear that was inside everybody had vanquished order and democracy? A: The fear and savagery actually started at the moment when we landed in the island. The island was the earth for us. It was us who made the rules. We had to do everything by ourselves. Everybody was afraid that we could never return home, we were also afraid of the beast that the little ones were talking about. When Jack was overpowering me, savagery started to expand. Jack started to make his primitive dance as a habit, ritual. Everybody including me and Piggy was attracted to be a part of the ritual dance. The moment that I felt that savagery inside me had overtaken order was after Simon’s death. We thought that Simon was the beast, so we attacked him relentlessly. Q: What do you think about Jack and his men? A: I think Jack isn’t such an evil person than he supposed to be. But because of his savage personality, he acted very cruel and barbaric. Roger is the most sadistic person I ever met in my entire life. I think he could be the friend of the devil. He has no mercy and he also has killed Piggy. I often think that he gets pleasure when he is torturing a pig or other boys on the island. I suppose Roger is the opposite of Simon. Well and the rest of the hunters are all followers of Jack, they just do what Jack say. Q: What do you think about wars? A: I think wars are bad and it can only get worse for both of the parties. It’s what I have learned from my stay on the island. I mean that war is something like savagery. So when savagery overcomes you, order and democracy will be devastated. At wars people kill e...
