Go get the book kid. Stop trying to do the simple way out. I for one am not going to help you. Read it yourself and then analyze, or at least get some cliffs notes.

nicely, that's in worry-free words yet another representation of the standard rule of chaos and anarchy and how straightforward the gadget of society and civilization breaks down. it really is a strong e book, and in view that of this it has change right into a classic even if it really is in worry-free words somewhat over 50 years previous. It stands the attempt of time and incorporates an significant message. there is one blunders interior the e book that i'm attentive to, Piggy's eyeglasses. The textual content states Piggy is myopic. Myopia is nearsightedness. Corrective lenses for being nearsighted are are concave, thinner interior the middle than the sting. i understand this because i'm neansighted and positioned on corrective lenses. It says they initiate the signal hearth with Piggy's glasses, which isn't plausible for a concave lens to do through itself because it spreads the mild, as adversarial to a convex lens, a worry-free magnifying glass, it really is thicker interior the middle, which focuses the mild to some extent. Now in the journey that that they had positioned a huge drop of water on the lens, about a million/2 inch in diameter, the water and lens mutually would variety an average convex structure and would have worked to initiate a hearth. I discovered a thanks to apply my glasses with a huge water drop to initiate a hearth even as i change into in Boy Scouts. nonetheless, it really is a strong examine.

There are several places online where you can find entire texts of books for free. Project Gutenburg is a good place to start: http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page There are also a lot of places that have help with notes and character profiles, though reading the book yourself is always best, of course. That's pretty lame that your school ran out, but, sadly, believable. Good luck with your character studies!

Everything you need is here, for free. http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/flies/

Ralph - The novel’s protagonist, the twelve-year-old English boy who is elected leader of the group of boys marooned on the island. Ralph attempts to coordinate the boys’ efforts to build a miniature civilization on the island until they can be rescued. Ralph represents human beings’ civilizing instinct, as opposed to the savage instinct that Jack embodies.

Jack - The novel’s antagonist, one of the older boys stranded on the island. Jack becomes the leader of the hunters but longs for total power and becomes increasingly wild, barbaric, and cruel as the novel progresses. Jack, adept at manipulating the other boys, represents the instinct of savagery within human beings, as opposed to the civilizing instinct Ralph represents.

Simon - A shy, sensitive boy in the group. Simon, in some ways the only naturally “good” character on the island, behaves kindly toward the younger boys and is willing to work for the good of their community. Moreover, because his motivation is rooted in his deep feeling of connectedness to nature, Simon is the only character whose sense of morality does not seem to have been imposed by society. Simon represents a kind of natural goodness, as opposed to the unbridled evil of Jack and the imposed morality of civilization represented by Ralph and Piggy.

Piggy - Ralph’s “lieutenant.” A whiny, intellectual boy, Piggy’s inventiveness frequently leads to innovation, such as the makeshift sundial that the boys use to tell time. Piggy represents the scientific, rational side of civilization.

Roger - Jack’s “lieutenant.” A sadistic, cruel older boy who brutalizes the littluns and eventually murders Piggy by rolling a boulder onto him.

Sam and Eric - A pair of twins closely allied with Ralph. Sam and Eric are always together, and the other boys often treat them as a single entity, calling them “Samneric.” The easily excitable Sam and Eric are part of the group known as the “bigguns.” At the end of the novel, they fall victim to Jack’s manipulation and coercion.

Nice try.

No teacher would recommend you cheat. Read the book and do your own homework.

It's a great book, you might enjoy it. Same author the wrote The Princess Bride, another classic.
