LOTF Characters in Middle School

Ralph: The entire Navy Seal meme, every day, fluently. Mediocre grades. Flies by socially with little more than good looks and a decent personality (as long as you’re at least a 5 or a 2 named Jack)

Jack: Has been in choir since DAY ONE, calls theater kids losers, hates the jocks not for any valid reason other than a personal vendetta that he, himself, cannot play sports for shit. Not even just because he’s skinny, but also because he can’t follow someone else’s strategies and blows away with a slight breeze.

Simon: That weird kid that never says anything, even in group projects. But when he does? It’s super weird and cryptic and you can tell he’s trying to be friendly and helpful but how the /fuck/ do you know that. If there’s a ‘write about your favorite animal’ prompt in English you know he’s the kid raising his hand asking if bugs count

Maurice: He’s the kid that sits in the back and makes girl moans really loudly. Owns a fidget spinner, but doesn’t need it. “U dare me to do that?” “Dude no-” (does it). Calls himself a pro gamer, but his entire gaming experience consists of COD, Minecraft, and coolmathgames4kids.

Roger: Edgelord. He doesn’t say anything to anyone unless you knew him since before he was the devil. Draws pentagrams on the desk in pencil. Claims to have been in more fights than he can remember, and won all of them, but has never been in a fight. He cuts the tails off of lizards and kills bugs. He can usually take it or leave it, but the second ANYONE, even the teacher, says leave it alone so someone can take it outside, it becomes his life mission to crush that bug. Makes death threats over the smallest jokes. Basically, he’s /that/ kid.

Piggy: Teachers pet. Always has extra lunch money for cookies and chips. Straight A’s. He has friends, but it’s just people who don’t like him or are 5th graders who just think it’s SO RAD a mIDDLE SCHOOLER wants to be their buddy. Says Ralph is his best friend but every time he does you just see Ralph shaking his head somewhere in the background. Always. Even in his own home, you can almost see the reflection of Ralph in the windows, denying it. As if even in spirit he rejects Piggy’s intimate friendship.

Sam'n'Eric: “Where’s the homework.” “I’m Eric” “Oh, sorry, (steps to the desk next to him) Where’s the homework?” “I’m Eric.” “??”

So, there’s gonna be a remake of Lord of the Flies but — PLOT TWIST! — it’ll be about girls instead of boys.

#....I'm staying out of this discourse

scholarly people: piggy's lack of hair growth symbolizes his deeper connection with civilized society. as the other children's hair grows, they plunge further and further into savagery; his does not, and likewise, he also is the only one who retains his orderly ways and principles.

me: this poor little boy is so stressed about being on this goddamn island where he's just trying to help but literally everyone hates him and bullies him for no goddamn reason that he's balding from that stress and he's like. eleven. someone give this boy a sense of security and also a chocolate chip cookie he needs both.

My fav, best pretty boy. I got emotional making this cause you just know everything’s gonna go to shit

He’s looking at Jack

galaxiesandplanets

I don’t know about you, but I’m still not over this actually real lord of the flies gay fic ecranisation

j.d acts like jack merridew more though not roger

But JD is a loner with repressed homicidal tendencies! That’s totally Roger ;P and he has daddy issues which fits my head canons

If Jack was a girl I think he’d totally be Heather Chandler though. The leader of the school, a huge bitch, and perfect and she knows it.

I guess JD is more openly violent and aggressive like Jack at times, he’s just a bit lacking in Roger’s quiet subtlety, but he’s still pretty sly and clever. I think JD was more like Roger in the beginning and grew more jack-ish.

Your professor will not be happy with you if he says the Stanford Prison Experiment shows human nature and you say it shows the nature of white middle class college-aged boys.

Like he will not be happy at all.

For real though. That experiment. Scary shit.

This reminds me of a discussion that I read once which said Lord of the Flies would have turned out a hell of a lot differently if it was a private school of young girls (who are expected to be responsible and selfless instead), or a public school where the children weren’t all from an inherently entitled, emotionally stunted social class (studies have shown that people in lower socioeconomic classes show more compassion for others). Or that the same premise with children raised in a different culture than the toxic and opressive British Empire and it’s emphasis on social hierarchy and personal wealth and status. And that what we perceive as the unchangable truth deep inside humanity because of things like Lord of the Flies and the Stanford Prison Experiment, is just the base truths about what happens when you remove any accountabilty controlling one social group with an overwhelming sense of entitlement and an inability to feel compassion.

I will always reblog this.

I just wanna say that the Lord of the Flies was explicitly written about high-class private school boys to make this exact point. Golding wrote Lord of the Flies partially to refute an earlier novel about this same subject: The Coral Island by R.M. Ballantyne. Golding thought it was absolutely absurd that a bunch of privileged little shits would set up some sort of utopia, so his book shows them NOT doing that.

This is also generally true about most psychological experiments.

There’s an experiment called “The Ultimatum Game”. It goes something like this.

Subject A is given an amount of money (Say, $100).

Subject A must offer Subject B some percentage of that money.

If Subject B accepts Subject A’s offer, both get the agreed upon amount of money. If Subject B refuses, no one gets any money.

The most common result was believed to be that people favored 50/50 splits. Anything too low was rejected; people wanted fairness. This was believed to be universal.

And then a researcher went to Peru to do the experiment with members of the indigenous Machiguenga population, and was baffled to find that the results were totally different.

Because, to the Machiguenga, refusing any amount of free money (even an unfair amount) was considered crazy.

So the researcher took his work on the road (to 14 other ‘small scale’ societies and tribes) , and to his shock found the results varied wildly depending on where the test was done.

In fact, the “universal” result? Was an outlier.

And that’s the problem. 96% percent of test subjects for psychological research come from 12% of the population. Stuff that we consider to be universal facts of human nature… even things like optical illusions, just… aren’t.

You can read an article about it here. But the crux of it is that psychology is plagued with confirmation bias, and people are shaped more by their environment than we realize.
