Lord Of the Flies Mood Essay

With obturate reference to the extract, hand over how William Golding creates body fluid and atmosphere here. (10) In this extract, we notice that it is the ending events of the novel. So, we can identify that exclusively chaos and destructive events put one over interpreted place as a result, their impacts upon the characters have taken their toll. In the opening lines of the extract, Golding (straight away) creates a sombre mood towards Ralph, when the officer said How many of you are there and Ralph responded by shaking his head. What this shows is that Ralph is clearly astonished and mesmerized as if he had a flashback- by all the calamity that occurred on the island. He does not reply verbally, but, by the absence of this, Golding creates an additional distressful mood mingled with Ralph and the reader which in turn creates a sorrowful atmosphere. This atmosphere is prolonged through with(predicate) when we see the verbal description on the appearance of Ralph.When aske d about authority, Ralph says that he is in charge, I am, however after this a soul of visual cleansing effect emerges. In other words, as a reader, it is like the wool has been taken away from Ralphs eyes, as he realises who he really is, A little boy, with a inglorious cap and red hair. Next we see that the mood changes into a remorseful one when in this segmentation Ralph may have been reminded of the withdrawal of an adult figure. Yet, when reminded of piggy through the spectacles he changed his mind and stood still. What I infer from this is that Ralph is reminded from the rational and parent like figure of Piggy which in turn creates a do-or-die(a) atmosphere. This atmosphere is maintained throughout the extract. We see next that the officer is quite frustrated as a group of British Boys would have put on a better show. This disappointed mood, created by Golding, is inserted to show the escalation of violence and change that has commenced on the island. Also, the removal of law and justice in which the British are popularised to uphold.Ralph himself realises this and through his response, we see his how this was to be, but later, this British society had fallen out of hand. It was like that at first, we were together then. Golding shows this disappointed atmosphere through Ralphs unfinished sentences. In the last two paragraphs, realisation, of their surroundings, between all the characters have been distinguished. This atmosphere is seen as the island was once a strange glamour, now its scorched up. Furthermore, with the deaths of Simon, and jack had killed Piggy, tears and cry took themall. In this, we see that there are contrasts to the father and child theme. We see this by the words awful body and unwiped nose which can relate to childish features. As a result, this creates a heartfelt mood towards the characters. In the ending, we see that the officer looks at the trim cruiser in the distance. Why Golding created this is possibly (in my specu lation) as a new leaf/page, a symbol for freedom, in turn, creates a positive atmosphere.
