In the novel I am reading, If I stay, there was a quote related to Lord of the Flies. The quote was, “Teddy had taken his shirt off and had streaked himself with mud. Dad said he looked like one of the boys from Lord of the Flies.”(pg.225)
An empty conch
with its smell of death
that whispers in my ear
the promise of a life
beyond.
1. When Mufasa dies, there’s nobody in power now that their king died. This means it’s now a state of nature.
2.
I take that back I got Ralph and Jack mixed up. 1) Simba, 2) Scar 3) Mufasa and Ralph because Ralph is the leader and taking charge as well as Mufasa did.
1) Simba 2) Mufasa 3) The Choir Boy and Scar
2) Mufasa’s ghost resembles Simba’s conscience by telling him the right thing to do and persuading him to go back.
