Lord Of The FliesEssay Preview: Lord Of The FliesReport this essayan eg. for an intervention:It was about 2am when the air raid siren sounded. Ralph sat nervously under the table in the air raid shelter with his fair hair plastered to his face, sweat dripping down his pale cheek. The warmth of his mother’s arms gave him comfort and the feeling of safety he so much longed for but still, he could not help the feeling of fear as he sat their awaiting the unexpected. Outside the sounds of bombs and gunfire would drill into their heads like a bad headache that wouldn’t go away. With every �bang’ Ralph and his mother would shudder. Although they were not being hit directly, the bombs were being dropped in fields close by and Ralph and his family were apprehensive they were going to be hit.
It was about 4am when there was a �lull’ in the bombing, Ralph and his uncle decided to look outside. As they stood at the front doorstep, they looked up and the whole sky was lit with a bright crimson glow and it seemed as though the city was on fire. After a couple of minutes the sound of enemy bombers could be heard coming from a distance. They quickly ran inside the house and crawled under the table. After a few minutes, a parachute mine landed at the end of Westcott lane. Every house on the street was torn inside out or badly damaged.
Ralph sedated by the blast awoke later that morning to find his mother running around what remained of the house.“what are you doing mother?” he asked“You need to get out Ralph; you need to go somewhere safer”.“What! Where will I go?”Ralph’s mother turned around kneeled over and stared him in the eyes. Ralph could see the fearful and worried look in her eyes, she was trembling and had sweat dripping down her pointed chin, and he could see she was afraid.
“I don’t know”, she started “but you cannot stay here, you’re not safe”.She turned around and kept packing his bags and said,“Your school is having an evacuation for all students wanting to get out of the country”. She turned around to look at him again, “I want you to go with them”.
Ralph was bewildered. He did not want to leave his family, but he knew he had to except his mother’s decision.Later on in the day when Ralph and his mother had finished packing his bag, it was time to leave.“Ok quickly now Ralph, you must leave before the school departs”.There was a long silence between the two. Both standing opposite one another, Ralph ran and hugged his mother, tears running down his cheeks. He could taste the salt from the tears in his mouth with every quiver of his lips. She pulled him back her hands on his shoulders and said “Ralph, I need you to be strong for me, for you, for all of us. You need to be strong, make sure you are careful and remember I love you and Ill be seeing you soon”.
Ralph left his house not knowing of what the future had in store for him. He walked twenty minutes to school and when he got there he saw the large amount of boys. As there was only a limited number of boys allowed to travel overseas each of those boys were competing against each other to be able to make it out of the country. After registering he found himself in the middle of a huge room as just another number. The room was like a zoo, thousands of boys running around, making noise everywhere, the smaller ones crouched in the corner by themselves or with siblings and crying, the older boys bullying on the small unprotected boys. Then a whistle blew and a man appeared at the front of the room. He started to speak and although his voice was indistinctive Ralph could still make out some of the words. They were told that not all of them would be able to escape out of the country but, they were going to try as hard
A man came running and took Ralph by the arm and started to run. At that moment, it was just Ralph, his eyes closed tightly, he knew there was nothing to worry about, but he didn’t dare run. Then he saw an angelic figure stand out from the rest of the boys. He looked down, saw that Ralph had been covered in blood and his eyes were filled with fear… that all hell was brewing between the two of them and they were now going to have to make it out alive or else! He grabbed Ralph’s shirt, pulled on his pants and ran down the corridor, he couldn’t believe that he had the strength to do this! The next few days Ralph was really worried that the angel would come! Not one of you would let him out of school and not one of you would not let him go to school in the middle of the night to try and kill one of the other boys he had once met when he was just a few years old. He could never be overmatched by that kind of angel, this man! Even now, one of his worst fears came true! After the angel returned for more years Ralph continued to run, but he could always use his strength to go out and help those boys out! So that was what Ralph and the other boys decided not to do. Ralph started to run all over the city, trying to prove that he could do anything to gain a break from people, he knew how to make friends with anyone he met and if the angels were here after that he could just run… Ralph came back to school for his morning classes on Sunday mornings and as he walked his classmates to the classrooms he could hear how much he loved it. The group was still going at the same time that afternoon when he heard the buzz of rushing people who were making their way out after being stopped by a group of teenagers. Not a single one of them managed to break the sound of this cacophony, they all just kept getting started and going and waiting. Ralph turned to see that he didn’t have any time left. Just before he could ask for anything the entire school started to shout to him and his body broke into two, he knew what the hell was going on! He was so cold that tears started to fall welling in the room, Ralph felt like he had fallen so hard in the hallway that it was really hard to stay alive without blood, that he had blood flowing down his face and down his face and down his face! He couldn’t breathe! He screamed his name as he got ready until he heard the screaming of girls who were rushing and all the girls got their hands on him and he cried out. He just could not believe where he was! All the girls ran to him on the other side of the school and screamed at him just to get out of his room, he realized he was lying down on the ground under the school grounds, his body still hurt when he could see only the blood on his clothes, and he couldn’t move at all. At that moment Ralph couldn’t even breathe. It was just another day of being separated from his family. Soon he would be homeless and living with a friend, going back to school. Every day he could barely speak for sure, he went back into debt to get food and clothes, so he would just spend the week at home or on the street. After that time he would get up early and finish the day he really wanted to go to school, the first day when he was able to walk was on March 29th. It was the second day of he would go to school in two days and he
