[Lord of the Flies] 5) The Passage

Question : Please choose one passage from the novel that is significant to you. Why is this passage meaningful? Please type it into one of your entries and comment on what you think about the passage.

I choose the passage where Jack and his companions stick the boar’s head on the stick as a gift to darkness. It was very meaningful because it pointed out the history of human’s mythology times. Humans were always afraid of unexplainable things and rationalized something so it could meet their expectations. Making the Lord of the Flies and giving it to their terror was the same thing, they didn’t even know the truth and got tricked by their own illusion. It also showed that there is always a person that will know the truth, just like Simon did. This is also a universal experience of a human throughout history where we always had to have a reason to explain things. As a result, we came up with science and technology (it wasn’t created by us but was discovered by us). This may seem stupid to us now but in those days, it was completely natural. This explained about mythological experiences, which we always thought that it was mischievous and meaningless from the perspective of civilization today.

Age of mythology is a part of pre-history when we believed that everything was done by god. Civilizations of religions and faith were the only answers to the entire question, as “THE TRUTH.” Mythology isn’t just a meaningless story; it was a thesis of Gods designated to explain that happened to us.

“MYTHOLOGY IS NOT A MISCHIEF, BUT A THESE”

THANK YOU FOR READING MY FIFTH POST!!!!
I tried my best with my English. However, the evil instinct (against the English only policy) seem to have grown powerful than my morality (Conclusion : My Korean got better than English...)

By the way..... The word "these" isn't a english word.... it's German word for "action of proving thesis"
