In the book Lord of the Flies, How does the discovery of the parachutist relate back to Simon's interpretation
545359
Simon said that the beast was either in their heads or that they were scared of themselves. To quote it, he says "Maybe it's only us" in chapter 6 I think. When he finds the parachutist, he discovers that there really was no beast. His interpretation was right and that it was them that they were scared of.

Power \nDifferent types of power, some used and abused. Democratic power is shown when choices and decisions are shared among many people on the island. Jack shows authoritarian power by threatening and terrifying others. Some of the boys utilize brute force, when hunting for pigs, and later hunting for Ralph. \n\nFear of the Unknown \nThe boy's fear of the unknown on the island leads to their fear of the beast. The boys cannot accept the notion of a beast existing on the island, nor can they let go of it. The recognition that no real beast exists, and that the only beast on the island is fear itself is one of the deepest meanings of the story. \n\nBlindness and Sight \nPiggy is blind to his immediate surroundings but really understands what is going on on the island. Unfortunately, the boys do not realize that Piggy sees more, and he is treated poorly and is eventually killed.

Revelations 20:11-15\n"Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."

I love that movie!  It taught me some important lessons too.\n\nLesson was...life or friendship or love is more important than mere objects.  And that could go for concepts too---life is more important than tightly holding onto some concepts.

The first is a chronological, literal way to say that this was the way that it was done.  It was written the exact way that it happened.  The one in Chapter 2 is a topical, storytelling way to put it.  The author doesn't make them contradicting at all.  When he says "Now the Lord had formed out of the ground all the beasts..." it doesn't indicate that this was after man.  It actually says that this had already been done in the past.  So I don't think the same way as the previous answerer does.  I read them as saying the same thing, but just how you would answer a question differently in a lab report from english class, they are just stylistically different.  If you have more questions about creation, www.answersingenesis.org is a great resource.  I've already been praying for you!

Lord of The Flies' plot overview\n**********************************\nIn the midst of a raging war, a plane evacuating a group of schoolboys from Britain is shot down over a deserted tropical island. Two of the boys, Ralph and Piggy, discover a conch shell on the beach, and Piggy realizes it could be used as a horn to summon the other boys. Once assembled, the boys set about electing a leader and devising a way to be rescued. They choose Ralph as their leader, and Ralph appoints another boy, Jack, to be in charge of the boys who will hunt food for the entire group.\nRalph, Jack, and another boy, Simon, set off on an expedition to explore the island. When they return, Ralph declares that they must light a signal fire to attract the attention of passing ships. The boys succeed in igniting some dead wood by focusing sunlight through the lenses of Piggy’s eyeglasses. However, the boys pay more attention to playing than to monitoring the fire, and the flames quickly engulf the forest. A large swath of dead wood burns out of control, and one of the youngest boys in the group disappears, presumably having burned to death.\nAt first, the boys enjoy their life without grown-ups and spend much of their time splashing in the water and playing games. Ralph, however, complains that they should be maintaining the signal fire and building huts for shelter. The hunters fail in their attempt to catch a wild pig, but their leader, Jack, becomes increasingly preoccupied with the act of hunting.\nWhen a ship passes by on the horizon one day, Ralph and Piggy notice, to their horror, that the signal fire—which had been the hunters’ responsibility to maintain—has burned out. Furious, Ralph accosts Jack, but the hunter has just returned with his first kill, and all the hunters seem gripped with a strange frenzy, reenacting the chase in a kind of wild dance. Piggy criticizes Jack, who hits Piggy across the face. Ralph blows the conch shell and reprimands the boys in a speech intended to restore order. At the meeting, it quickly becomes clear that some of the boys have started to become afraid. The littlest boys, known as “littluns,” have been troubled by nightmares from the beginning, and more and more boys now believe that there is some sort of beast or monster lurking on the island. The older boys try to convince the others at the meeting to think rationally, asking where such a monster could possibly hide during the daytime. One of the littluns suggests that it hides in the sea—a proposition that terrifies the entire group.\nNot long after the meeting, some military planes engage in a battle high above the island. The boys, asleep below, do not notice the flashing lights and explosions in the clouds. A parachutist drifts to earth on the signal fire mountain, dead. Sam and Eric, the twins responsible for watching the fire at night, are asleep and do not see the parachutist land. When the twins wake up, they see the enormous silhouette of his parachute and hear the strange flapping noises it makes. Thinking the island beast is at hand, they rush back to the camp in terror and report that the beast has attacked them.\nThe boys organize a hunting expedition to search for the monster. Jack and Ralph, who are increasingly at odds, travel up the mountain. They see the silhouette of the parachute from a distance and think that it looks like a huge, deformed ape. The group holds a meeting at which Jack and Ralph tell the others of the sighting. Jack says that Ralph is a coward and that he should be removed from office, but the other boys refuse to vote Ralph out of power. Jack angrily runs away down the beach, calling all the hunters to join him. Ralph rallies the remaining boys to build a new signal fire, this time on the beach rather than on the mountain. They obey, but before they have finished the task, most of them have slipped away to join Jack.\n Jack declares himself the leader of the new tribe of hunters and organizes a hunt and a

WOW I'm learning about odysseus too and what I think is that he would have the same feelings he had when eurylochus(one of his men)said this or something like this:that he had the anger of drawing his sword and cutting his head off and he did not care who was beside him, also he said this"kinsmen or no kinsmen"(which means I think brother)and thats all I remember.

My theory is that the Ark of the Covenant are hidden there. If you have ever watched National Geographics dialog on the ten commandments and the box that was made for it; you would see that there has to be something else in the Bermuda Triangle.\n\n"And the tables were the work of God." "And he gave unto Moses ... two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God." "And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables." Exodus 31:18; 32:16.\n\nWe know it had a home in Bethel (Judg 20:18, 27), Shiloh (1 Sam 1:3, 25; 3:3, 4:3), Kiriath-jearim (1 Sam 7:1-2), and Jerusalem (2 Sam 6:12-17). The Bible also says that the ark was carried from (and returned to) Jerusalem, when David was fleeing from his son to Transjordan (2 Sam 15:24-25, 29).\n\nWhen God's temple in heaven is opened, what a triumphant time that will be for all who have been faithful and true! In the temple will be seen the ark of the testament. . . .These tables of stone will be brought forth from their hiding place, and on them will be seen the Ten Commandments engraved by the finger of God. These tables of stone now lying in the ark of the testament will be a convincing testimony to the truth and binding claims of God's law. 7 BC 972 (emphasis supplied)\n\nJust my theory!

The back of the book will mention the oar O. had to carry.\n\nRead the book, already! It's the best adventure story ever written. There's lotsa sex!\n\nAnd if you want to impress your teacher, notice that whenever O. takes a bath, the goddess -- or her representative -- is present.

Yes, the book was really good. I'm not sure about the movie, though. I'm going to see it, definitely, but certain things I'm dubious about. Such as the burn mark on Eragon's palm. In the book, the Riders are sometimes called 'Argetlam' which in the ancient language, literally means silver palm. Arget means silver. In the book, the silver mark of the Riders is from touching their dragon. In the movie (as far as I could tell, anyway), the burn mark is swirled in the shape of a lower case E, but does not appear to be silver. If Hollywood changed that, what other things have they changed?

The part with the angels is very true. The ending will be as amazing as it says, but some parts such as the Beasts (The ones John saw come out of the water) represent different counties that are still here today. It is literal yet very symbolic. Pray to GOD for understanding and read it again sometime. It should then become very clear to you.

I think it's left up to us, the audience to decide what really happened to Jack. I've seen the movie a couple of times and have thought about the same thing, but I'm still not sure which story to believe. But I'm leaning towards Jack getting killed by the townspeople who found out he was gay because Jack was more open about his sexuality.

well, alot of Lost is based on "Lord of the Flies" and a lot of books written by Plato. If you're interested, I suggest you read up on those things for clues.

It symbolizes Evil. It is a representation of the Lord of the Flies himself, who is Beelzebub, or, broadly speaking, the Devil.
