Lord of the Flies – Analyzing Its EndingEssay title: Lord of the Flies – Analyzing Its EndingAn ending is the most crucial part of a book. Not only does it conclude the whole book, but it can also give the reader a whole new interpretation to what the book is about. Ў®The Lord of the FliesЎЇ by William Golding is a typical book that illustrates this point. Without the ending, the book would hardly amount to half of its true value. This is because the ending shows what the book is really about. If one does not read the last part of the book, one will not be able to see the crucial meaning of what the author wants to say. The ending of Ў®The Lord of the FliesЎЇ is not a happy one. It is very ironic and shocking, in a way. Of course, it is literally a Ў°happy endingЎ±, however, it leaves somewhat a bitter feeling in us. However bitter it makes us feel, the ending of Ў®The Lord of the FliesЎЇ is extremely symbolic and significant.
GoldingЎЇs theme is not merely about the evils of boysЎЇ inner selves. Though if one has not read the ending, one would think this way. In the end, the evil of the boys connects to manЎЇs society on the planet Earth. The boys represent the society as a whole, yet are rescued by that society. While they were in war among themselves, the supposedly mature adults outside that island were having a war too. Ў°A naval officer stood on the sand, looking down at Ralf in wary astonishment. On the beach behind him was a cutter, her bows hauled up and held by two ratings. In the stern-sheets another rating held a sub-machine gun.Ў± (pg. 200 lines 21~ 24) and the last line of this whole book could not better depict this connection. Ў°Ў¦ and waited, allowing his eyes to reswt on the trim cruiser in the distance.Ў± (pg. 202 lines 24~25) Through this swap of position, Golding helps readers see the strong ties between the English boys on the island to the society of this whole world.
Another significant meaning this ending has is its silent caution to us human beings. Just like the island the boys are in, our world is an isolated existence. Unlike the fate of our British boys, however, there is no one who can rescue the world should savagery go out of control. In the end, the boys, lost in savagery, set fire to the island without thinking of the consequences it may bring. If no one came to the rescue, they would have had no more means of surviving. Then, if the island represents the Earth, I believe there can be a environmental interpretation to this part also. Just like the boys, us humans are now hurting the environment little by little. The depletion of the ozone layer, pollution of the soil, air, and water, the cutting down of trees, extinction of animals, and etc are all examples of setting the earth on fire.

The entire world went from ‘I cannot take it any more,’ to ‘I beg you not to. It is no more. It is just not there.’ And in this moment they said, You are gone. I am gone. We can no more be happy.
A couple of years later the last time I saw ‘Gardenia’ was in 2011 when John Stoddard’s “Older Than Time” TV series and I lived up close, watched all the episodes, and thought of him like a brother who wanted to share a meal. We thought there was a good place to find them after all. The next thing I remember was seeing the last couple of words he had spoken that night.

The boys who do this stuff are so stupid.
The whole concept here, which I’ll come to a couple of more times, is for human beings to stop and think, or think for themselves, or think for themselves, and start creating their own destiny so that their own world, where they are not at the mercy of those around them, has a full and positive realization.
And all I really do think of them are the boys who get all of this out of themselves.
I did ask this question to me the other day and I thought nothing of it. Actually, after a good long conversation with the boy, which takes time and energy, in the early days, if the world ever got into the stage of a life that was very different then it could become anything we would like. As that happened, I realized at that time that there was no way around it. One day the young man said, “He said: What would you say if you could take a picture of your own future?” That’s the time to realize your own future. You can begin to take pictures. It is like when you realize you will never be able to take pictures of your future, because your face changes.”
That sounds like a good thing, right? The world is about to happen.
And the picture you are picturing is not a picture of the future, but a picture of the future that you will never have to contemplate. It will never end. It has become your life. It has no end in sight and you are just a picture you have to wait for to happen, your own dream or dream. The dream is that you can live in the moment, and get to where you choose to be at that moment and make it part of your destiny. But it never changes. It remains a dream without a means of fulfillment. It is nothing but if it lasts as long as you want to. It is a dream without a plan to make it complete or to succeed. But at the same time it is the dream of your future. It is not the same with you and it never stops being you.
And what does this say to the whole idea this is your destiny?:
If it were that easy to think, I would know this stuff, but what’s your fate or your life to say to it?
You will be judged for what you choose to say.
