Simon’s heart is not an anatomical heart, but a cartoon heart to show that he loves and truly cares for people.

It also shows how these challenges are weighing him down from participating in everyday life on the island. This is best expressed in the quote on the weight, “Other people could stand up and speak to an assembly, apparently, without that dreadful feeling of the pressure of

evident of Simon struggling to be brave by reassuring himself that the pig head on a stick was just a “ Pig’s head on a stick“ (Golding 143). Simon having to reassure himself shows the anxiety and the uneasiness from the boys. In fact, anxiety and uneasiness coincides with a person’s fear. In reality the Lord of the Flies is the deep fear.

Lord Of The Flies Syntax Analysis

William Golding, author of Lord of the flies uses syntax and imagery to set a tone of balance after Simon’s death. Firstly, the author uses syntax to communicate his tone.

William Golding has implied throughout the novel that the stars suggest hope. Therefore, it is safe to assume that the author wants us…
