  2. Good work, Aini! You have a clear argument and have planned out three specific parts of the book that you will analyze to prove your argument.

    Grammatical tips:

    Add the article "the" before "vicious" and before "powerful." You are talking about specific instances and therefore need the "the."

    Place a comma between "circumstances" and "and." The last part of a series like that needs the comma, too!

  3. In the novel Lord of the Flies, William Golding clearly demonstrates that evil is not inherent in mankind through Simon's image that is associated to Christ and as the "light" and "purest" of the group.

  6. In the novel “Lord of the Flies”, William Golding shows that evil is inherent through the fact that the boys are children and need ruler or a grownup, the fact that they are killing each other, and the character of jack.

  7. There were no grown ups who can tell them the rules, Jack wants to be the leader, and the children kill each other.

  8. In the novel Lord of the Flies, William Golding demonstrates that evil is inherent in mankind through furious behavior of Jack, the surviving instinct feeling that changes the characters douring the story, and the setting (lost in an unknown island) dose not help the boys to control evil.
