People will abuse power when it is not earned and by manipulating the minds of others, this is successfully done. This is evident in both novels. In Lord of the Flies, the power struggle to maintain leadership between Ralph and Jack is very evident from the begin in Chapter One. At the beginning of the novel, Ralph is chosen as the "tribes" leader because of his ability to control situations and maintain order among the big boys and the littl'uns. Throughout the novel, Jack is always attempting to overthrow and abuse the power of Ralph's leader

In conclusion, it is clear that both works parallel the world today. Morals come directly from our surroundings and if there is no civilization, no authority, or no society in which we fall back on, then all those values are destroyed. Both of these works express truth, meaning, and most importantly give value to our world. It is true that when power is abused, people are unlawfully utilized, manipulated and exploited. It is also true that fear overcomes the strongest being, but once it is confronted, life will go on and the sun will shine after the rain. Just like the richness of the olive oil, only after a person is "pressed" or show their true self, we will see their true richness. But the most truthful and absolute theme of both of these works is that a totalitarian society determines the behavior in all.

ship. After Ralph and Piggy stumbled over a conch shell, Ralph is able to unify his newly found civilization and conduct meetings. In doing so, this allowed a form of democracy among these children. Jack challenges this newly established law and order and forms his own "tribe," consisting of no social order, no law and no rational control. Jack's tribe was embodied as a life of savagery, with a lust for blood by those opposed to it. In The Children's Story, the abuse of power is seen when the "new" teacher comes into the classroom and says to Miss Worden, " I am taking over your class now. You are to go to the principal's office." (Clavell, 12) The new teacher literally lets the reader know that she has taken all the power and intends to really "take over the class." The new teacher abuses the power that she has acquired by manipulating the children's naive minds and persuading them to abandon their own faith. She begins to cut through their believes and loyalty when she suggested to cut the flag. She also sought to bring to every ones attention the power of rational control over innocence.

Authority in all categories is the principal force in both works. Conformity in each book, proving that for a society to thrive and have ideals, values, and the basics of right and wrong judgement, a democratic society must be established. Without these conditions society cannot be held together and this is proven in Lord of the Flies. A conch shell sound, which sounds like a dense horn
