LORD OF THE FLIES

*Are there any current situations in the world that relate to the novel? What are they, and how do they relate? Does the novel shed any light on how current situations could be resolved or fixed?

In an uninhabited island there were25 children including Ralph and Jack and Ralph was elected as a leader. However Jack wanted power to be a leader and as he became it they were divided into two groups, Ralph's and Jack's. Ralph and his close companion named Piggy represented civilized ages while Jack and his followers symbolized savagery and a wicked nation. If they sticked together to survive then maybe they could have been rescued by navy without the dead. However the actual wasn't. Two boys fought and had lots of conflicts, which they could have solved out by themselves by opening their hearts. Compare to present, 2007, is the year to elect a new president. There are three people who wants to go out for a presidential election in Han Nara Party(한나라 당). However only one person for each party can go out for the election. In Korea there are many parties and each of them tries to show good images because it advantages their candidates. Yet Han Nara Party has three candidates and they all tries to abuse each other. According to their immoral images now less people favor Han Nara party. This is same condition because Jack and Ralph are both in a same uninhabited island while three candidates are in the same party. Also they both have quarrels and fights. Say Ralph yields the palm to Jack then all the boys could be in a peaceful mood and there won't be any the deads. Also every one could have been rescued safely. If Han Nara Party maintains good images and if two candidates fall back and push one to be the president then it will make an easy path for them to become a main party of one nation.
