Characterization

Characterization is the method a writer uses to reveal the personality of the characters. In the Lord of the Flies characterization is a big part of the book. I say this because in this book, all of the characters are stranded together on an island. A lot of the time when people are together for too long, their true colors start to come out. For example, Ralph took the role of leadership. Piggy was more intelligent then most of the kids which probably wouldn't be true if he was back home. For example. from page 88 to 94 a fight breaks out over power. The main characters start to fight over who is the real leader and who deserves to be leader. It is also interesting to see people act like they did when their emotions came out. You really learn a lot about who the characters actually are.
