Hello today I'd be making a modern connection to the
00:03 - 00:04
novel. Lord of the flies.
00:07 - 00:10
The theme novel is what is the constant internal battle
00:11 - 00:14
between the pursuit of civilization and descend into savagery that
00:14 - 00:15
the boys had.
00:17 - 00:21
William Golding wrote about a book about her boys that
00:21 - 00:25
are stranded on an island without any adult supervision but
00:25 - 00:28
themselves. It is up to them what rules they're going
00:28 - 00:30
to follow during their time on the island.
00:31 - 00:34
The boys are in a dilemma figuring out if instincts
00:34 - 00:39
a savagery will take over the pursuit of civilization, a
00:39 - 00:41
great example would be how Covid has changed the perspective
00:42 - 00:45
of life for a lot of people, two began when
00:45 - 00:46
Covid has just started.
00:46 - 00:50
People were really following the rules quarantining and now living
00:51 - 00:51
their homes for weeks.
00:52 - 00:56
Then after a little people started to become very selfish
00:56 - 00:59
and they started buying out all the essential stuff like
01:00 - 01:02
the toilet paper in the board of the flies.
01:03 - 01:06
Jack, the leader of the choir has a selfish desire
01:06 - 01:08
for power with simple arrogance.
01:09 - 01:12
Jack said I ought to be chief because I am
01:12 - 01:15
chapter choir ist and head boy, I can sing C
01:16 - 01:20
Sharp. This example shows how Jack felt as if he
01:21 - 01:23
was much more better for the role whereas he deserved
01:24 - 01:27
it. And this is what a lot of people during
01:27 - 01:29
the beginning of the pandemic felt when they were buying
01:30 - 01:34
out all the essential stuff, not leaving anything for the
01:34 - 01:37
other person because they felt as if they needed a
01:37 - 01:39
more and not their neighbor.
01:40 - 01:43
Secondly after a while people stopped following the rules and
01:44 - 01:49
started partying, flying out of the country and etcetera which
01:49 - 01:51
is similar to what happened when Jack stopped listening to
01:51 - 01:57
ralph. Most importantly the boys instinctive savagery took over them
01:58 - 02:02
when they murdered the pregnant pig Simon and then Peggy
02:05 - 02:08
these parts of the novel showed the reader how fast
02:08 - 02:12
a morally good person can change when they have some
02:12 - 02:14
sort of authority on the other.
02:15 - 02:17
Now, unfortunately, the connection that I have came up today
02:18 - 02:21
is the same thing has happened in real life because
02:21 - 02:25
of covid, coronavirus has become a great reason for people
02:25 - 02:27
to bring out their violent and various sides.
02:28 - 02:32
Multiple asian people ranging from being seniors to Children, are
02:32 - 02:36
physically and mental victims of xenophobia because of coronavirus.
02:37 - 02:40
A very unfortunate example will be from here from Canada
02:41 - 02:43
in april of last year, in Vancouver Canada, an elderly
02:44 - 02:48
person, asian man was attacked with wild slurs and references
02:49 - 02:49
to the coronavirus.
02:50 - 02:53
This attack, as I have stated before, is one of
02:53 - 02:56
the many Asian hate crimes that were committed because of
02:56 - 03:01
COVID-19 people use their vile to science as hide under
03:01 - 03:05
the fact that the person they're attacking is Asian, which
03:05 - 03:07
is the same exact thing that happened with Simon, who
03:08 - 03:12
supposedly was the beast during his murder.
03:14 - 03:18
Therefore, in conclusion, unfortunately, some people use their vile desires,
03:18 - 03:24
masks as mistakes or reasons for their insensitivity, the battle
03:24 - 03:27
between their heads and super egos or notice.
03:27 - 03:30
But in the end, the EDS blending and causes colossal
03:31 - 03:34
issues that cannot bring back peace and comfort that was
03:35 - 03:36
once there Thank.
