In chapter three of Lord of the Flies, Golding makes us think about the differences between civilized and uncivilized people. As time passes in the story, we can see that Jack is becoming more like an animal and acts more like a savage. In chapter three, Golding describes Jack as an animal using similes and metaphors which will cause Jack’s uncivilized actions and a savage behavior.
At the beginning of chapter three William Golden describes the way Jack is hunting using metaphors. This is one such example, “This creates the image of Jack being crouched on the ground like an animal waiting to attack” (48). Golding attempts to tell us that Jack is on his knees and waiting to attack his hunt. Jack’s this act is similar to snakes because he’s is being vicious and sneaky. Also, Jack this act is similar to act of snakes as that he’s after the mouse. Throughout the third chapter, Jack is portrayed as becoming more like a savage, “he lowered his chin and stared at the traces as though he would force them to speak to him” (48). Golden is telling the readers that Jack senses are becoming more like an animal’s. His sense of smell has become stronger and he is able to smell his prey without any trouble. This becomes evident when Jack is looking and smelling feces from so close without any hesitation, animals are the only ones who smell feces to hunt their prey. We see that Jack is becoming a savage through the animal-like techniques that he is using to hunt.
Golden also describes Jack as an animal by using similes. Golden describes Jack “as a sprinter” in the beginning of chapter three (48). By describing Jack as a sprinter, Golden emphasizes his “athletic ability” . Moreover, Golden explains that Jack was so close to the soil that he was actually inhaling the soil with each breathe he took. Animals are the only ones who smell the soil from that close. He also refers to Jack as “dog-like”( 48). By that he meant that he was sitting on his four legs similar to that of a dog or any other animal and savages are the only ones who copy animals or act like them. This shows that Jack is becoming more uncivilized and that will later affect the story because other kids will be becoming savages by following Jack’s ideas.
As the story goes on, William Golden uses more metaphors to explain how Jack is becoming more and more primitive and has begun to act more like an animal. Golden describe Jack as having “passed like a shadow under the darkness of the tree and crouched, looking down at the trodden ground at his feet” (49). But the author actually means that he passed so fast that his prey could only see his shadow. Jack’s behavior is similar to the way tigers act because the first thing a tiger’s prey sees is the hunger’s fast shadow. Also, Jack is trying to take the pig by surprise so that his prey will not have time to run away. On page 49, Golden attempts to make it clear that a movement toward savagery has begun.
In conclusion, the Lord of the Flies is a picture of our society today. It shows the darkness of man’s heart and where the break down of restraint can result in killing and violence. When laws and morals can no longer apply to man then the darkness of man’s heart will escape. This anarchy is a picture of our society today in war, greed, fear, and is the other half of our “civilised society”. It is a picture that exists and will remain with man no matter how far we bury the darkness whether we bury it shallow like Jack and Roger or deep like Ralph and Piggy
Chapter three is one the most disruptive chapters in Lord of the Flies. This beginning of savagery will be a leading loss of the order of society in future. Chapter three also prepares us for the future environment, geography, and gives us clues as to what Jack’s behaviors will be like later in the novel. It will also show the beginning of savagery and shows the evil side of human beings. As today, we can see human’s evil side through wars and greed. All these character, Jack, Roger, Ralph and Piggy are one of the characters that are in today’s society but we can not see them because of our civilized society.

intro paragraph- you should not metion the book title or author or any characters until the thesis statment. the first two sentences should be very broad but talk about the differences between civilized and uncivilized people in general- not in the book, just yet.

body paragraphs- after you use a quote or a concret detail from the story, the next two sentences after that should be of your own opinion. it is your way of commenting on how that detail relates with the topic sentece, which relates to the thesis statment. and you also know to never use the words ” I, you, me, my, we, our, your, ect.” right? i dont think you did anyway so thats good. also, for my school papers, we only need to have eight sentences in each- (1) topic sentence, (2) quote/concret detail, (3) commentary, (4) commentary, (5) quote/concrete detail, (6) commentary, (7) commentary, and (8) concluding sentence. and we have to have three body paragraphs…

concluding paragraphs- do you have two? i think you should only have one. one paragraph for the conclusion. and the conclusion should be all of your own point of view. i think you did do that, so thats good too.

i think it was a pretty good paper. i have never read the book before.

honestly, i dont know what you would get on it. i am no teacher. i think its pretty good so maybe youd get a B or higher or something. i do not know.

good luck =P
