Ralph looked at him dumbly. For a moment he had a fleeting picture of the strange glamour that had once invested the beaches. But the island was scorched up like dead wood – Simon was dead – and Jack had…. The tears began to flow and sobs shook him. He gave himself up to them now for the first time on the island; great, shuddering spasms of grief that seemed to wrench his whole body. His voice rose under the black smoke before the burning wreckage of the island; and infected by that emotion, the other little boys began to shake and sob too………..Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy.
This passage was very meaningful to me because of few reasons. First, I was impressed and shocked by how humans are unstable. When kids were in the island, they hated each other and even killed their friends to survive. However, at the end of the story, when they got escaped, when they realized that they were safe, they grief about what they’ve done and start to regret. Humans are rude and cruel because they don’t notice that killing friends are something that should not happen. Second, it was meaningful because the feelings of regret are well-described.
