Lord of the Flies by William Golding is a book that has many different interpretations that would possibly come to the reader’s mind. The story, for the most part, circles around the protagonist, Ralph. Ralph is a twelve-year-old with blonde hair; he is also elected to be the leader of the island. Ralph has his head on straight, and is always trying to keep the group of kids safe and on the right track …

…No one is perfect, and bad things always happen; especially when circumstances are inevitable. All of the dilemmas that get dropped on the children are dealt with; some just better than others. The inner beast is present within everybody, and Lord of the Flies aids in the representation of this fact. As long as people are alive, there will be an internal evil lurking; only poking it’s ugly head at certain times. W. C. 1712
