"One early example of hypocrisy is seen in chapter two when Ralph states to the gathered mass of boys, ‘We want to be rescued; and of course we shall be rescued.’ This echoes the empty, hypocritical promises and attitudes of many politicians by telling the people exactly what they want to hear. It seems that Ralph is acting both immaturely and insensitively when he offers this baseless decree, but he may simply be imitating the callous and childish behaviors barely concealed by the chaotic matrix of feigned order imposed by the adult society that has so recently aborted them." -Richard King Perkins IIOne of my friends’ step-dad wrote that about the book The Lord of the Flies.I had to read that paragraph like seven times to be able to understand it. o__OI wish I could write like that.
