You can certainly swipe some parts - it is probably polite not to make a complete duplicate, or make it look too similar by copying the words, but to understand how they are made and use similar techniques is by all means acceptable. -- zzuuzz(talk)18:55, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not quite sure about the Dead Man on the hill's symbolism and Simon's encounter with it. (Chapter 9 - A View to a Death). What does the dead man symbolize? Does it symbolize Christ(Simon) foreseeing impending doom , lost hope, despair? Half-Blood Auror15:17, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Have a look at Lord of the Flies, where you should find some answers to your question. I will give you a clue, though. The Dead Man is not a 'symbol' of anything. He is a pilot, mortally wounded in a nearby aerial combat, who dies after parachuting down to the island. It is there that his physical presence becomes a very real challenge to the fragile civilization set up by the boys, beset, as it is, by nameless horrors, which take shape in the notion of 'the Beastie'. For Sam and Eric, who discover the body, not bothering to look too closely, this is proof that the Beastie exists, and they carry news of their discovery-and their sense of panic-back to the rest of the camp. Before long rationality gives way to barbarism. It is only Simon who recognizes the destructive power of fear. Clio the Muse16:57, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
