Quotes

"When we was coming down I looked through one of them windows. I saw the other part of the plane. There were flames coming out of it."

Note: This quote was said in bad grammar. It is not a typo.

This quote is from the beginning of the story. This line was said by Piggy when he met Ralph in the jungle. Ralph, Piggy and a bunch of other boys were in a plane and have been shot out of the air. Ralph and Piggy thought that they were the only boys there. Later they find a conch and blow it. All the boys join Ralph and Piggy. I think this quote represents this section of the book because it describes the bombing of the plane.

This quote has a connection to another text. It connects to a book called "At the Edge". In one of  the parts of the books it talks about the bombing of the plane. There are people who witnessed it and are talking about it. It connects to this story because it has the same scenario. This quote also connects to incidents that happened in real life. There are lots of incidents that are similar to this one. They are all of a plane crash landing or getting bombed. This quote connects to these incidents because it describes the planes accident.
Another connection would be to myself. I was once watching TV, and then all of a sudden the program was interrupted for breaking news. The news was about a plane crash just a little off the southern coast of Nova Scotia. It was a malfunction of the plane's instruments. The plane had crashed into the ocean.

"You didn't ought to have let that fire out. You said you'd keep the smoke going. We can't get no nothin' done around here."

This quote was said in the second quarter of the book. It was said by Piggy. It was said during a fight between Jack and Ralph. While they were fighting, Piggy spoke up and said this. He was calling everyone lazy, but he himself was the laziest one. I think this quote represents this part of the book because this is the part where everyone slacks off and thinks that everything will just come to them without any work.

This quote connects to a book called "The Life of Being Lazy". In this book there is a group of kids who get sent to a testing facility. In the facility they do some survival tests and one of them is surviving on their own for five days in a wild surrounding set. They have water, wood and wild squirrels. They don't survive all five days (they come out on the third) because at the beginning they had order but after a little bit, everyone slacked off and nothing was getting done. This is what happens in this part of Lord of the Flies. This quote also connects to myself. About three years ago our family hosted a family picnic with lots of our relatives. During the preparations I was supposed to help but for most of the time I slacked off and did nothing. This is what happens to the boys after a couple of days. This quote connects to a real life event. A couple of years ago there was a building that was  being built. It was later finished six months after the scheduled finishing time. Turns out that the workers took a one month secret break when they weren't supposed to. The workers got nothing done for that month. This is what happens in Lord of the Flies.

"I'm not going to be part of Ralph's lot. I'm going off by myself. He can catch his own pigs. Anyone who wants to hunt when I do can come too. We are going to have a feast at my new place!"

This quote was said in the third quarter of the book. It was said by Jack when he was leaving Ralph's group. It was said during a meeting. They were talking about the beast. They were also discussing about Jack's hunting. Ralph said that Jack was hunting too much and not helping with he more important stuff like the fire and the shelters. Jack was tired of Ralph being so bossy so he stood up and said this line. This quote describes how Jacks left Ralph and why. This quote is an example of propaganda. Jack tells everyone to join him because he is going to have a feast.

This quote connects to an event in real life. We are going all the way back to communist Russia. There was a leader. Communists or Rebels came and took over. Those communist leaders told everyone that they were going to make everything better. They used propaganda. This is what happened when Jack formed his rebel group. This quote also connects to a book called "The Hunger Games". In the book, the government takes control over everyone and tells them that everything is going to be better than before. The used Propaganda to form their own group. This is similar to what happens in Lord of the Flies. This quote connects to something that happened to myself. When I was in grade 3, I was running for class president. There was another person who was competing against me. I said that if the class votes for me they get candy. I also said that if they vote for me, the class will be better than ever. Because of that I won and I gave the whole class candy. We also changed the class a little bit and, indeed, it was better than ever. Everyone was happy. I used propaganda and bribery. This is similar to what happens in the book because Jack uses Bribery too.

"I got the conch! Let me speak!"

This quote is from the end of the story. This line is said by Ralph near the end of the book when all of the rules had been abolished. He says this in front of Jack and his tribe. When Jack formed his rebel tribe he said that the rules don't count for his tribe and his territory. When Ralph tried to speak with the conch, Jack ignored him. Ralph tried and tried but Jack said nothing. I think this quote represents this part of the book because this is the part when all of the rules had been abolished and no one would follow them anymore.

This quote has a connection to myself. I read in a newspaper that in Libya, there was a leader and some people didn't him. They wanted to take over the government so they formed a group to fight against the leader. There were no more laws in this country because of the war. This is similar to what happened in the book. This quote also has a connection to a book called "The Hunger Games". In the book there were rules, very strict rules that everyone had to follow or else they would have been punished by death. Later in the story, a rebel group forms and they take over the government. This is exactly what happens when Jack forms his group. This quote connects to an incident that happened in real life. I already told you a little bit about the incident in Libya, but I will tell you more. Over time the group that didn't like the leader grew more powerful because other countries like the USA started supporting them. They eventually killed the leader and took over the government but it was savagery. This is also what happens in the book.
