According to the dictionary a parable is a story that conveys a meaning indirectly by the use of comparison. Lord of the Flies is a parable because it shows many symbolisms. Many comparisons are made between an educated society and one that is not. For example, Golding shows how at the beginning laws were made like the conch. Few days later, the conch was nothing and by the end it was destroyed. Also, Piggy’s glasses show intelligence. Once they were broken, the kids went out of control. These were some examples of how Golding made the book sort of a parody.
a parable is a short allegorical story that tends to illustrate or teach religous influence, moral beliefs and some truth. Lord of the flies is one, it teaches or illustrated the truth that we, as kids need some adult supervision. we think that we can all manage to control ourselves without any adult, but in Lord Of the Flies, it lets us know that indeed we DO need them because if not, everything would go CHAOS.!
A parable is a short descriptive story that explains a moral or religious lesson in a short amount of time. The Lord of the Flies is a parable because it gives a moral lesson of society and how everyone is unique and how everyone is capable of savage and horrible actions.
A parable is a piece of literature that is used mostly to bring a lesson. Most child's novels are parables for example. Making them fun but teaching a lesson in life.
'Lord of the Flies' was in ways a parable. There was not ONE main lesson, there were many small ones.
One that really caught my eye was about accepting people's weaknesses. For example Simon, he was shy, and not a brilliant public speaker, and he was humiliated for it, instead of helped.
Then there is Piggy. He is just one big physical health disaster, he's too fat, he's ugly, he's got problems with his health that keep him from running, and you name it.
So the lesson was to accept the weaknesses, and look at the positive points. Piggy is smart, and Simon is kind and works hard.
Parable is a story that conveys a meaning indirectly by the use of comparison. I agree with Ahra "Lord of the Flies" is a parable because the story is full of symbolisms. Golding is constantly comparing savagery and civilized society. Through this point he conveys an important issue. Golding uses the hair and painting as savagery and cleanness as a civilized society.
A parable is a short story which usually conveys a message by using comparison.
"The Lord of the Flies" is a parable because it portrays many lessons/messages.
One of the important lessons that I learned by reading the novel was the fact that violence does not solve any problems. Instead, it brings cruel consequences and misunderstandings.
A parable is a short story that teaches a moral or spiritual lessons. Lord of the Flies is a parable because it teaches moral/spiritual lessons. For example, not following the rules can bring serious consequences is a lesson in the book. Also, trying to gain power from the others can also bring serious consequences towards the community. Last, beign stubborn and not accepting the opinion of the others can never lead to a improved community. These are some of the morals that make Lord of the Flies a parable.
A parable is a brief, succinct story, in prose or verse, that illustrates a moral or religious lesson. A parable is used on many occasions in this novel. First, Golding uses the lord of the flies to represent the beezlebub which mean the devil. He also presents Simon to readers and his struggle to battle savagry. Golding wants readers to understand the violence and savagry that is going on in the world today and compares it to the evil growing on the island.
