Jeramiah Chapman · Answer 1

The voice is of the Piggy on the page 1 of "Lord of the flies".

Explanation:

Lord of the flies is a story that has been written by William Golding. This was written by him in the year 1954. It is the story of a group of boys who are young and are all alone on an island.

This group of boys is deserted. The story talks about the way how this group of boys survive their days when they are alone. They develop rules and a system of organization, but without any adults to serve as a 'civilizing' impulse, the children eventually become violent and brutal.

Kai Walls · Answer 2

Answer: The Lord of the Flies is described as speaking to Simon using the voice of a schoolmaster, which represents its authority on the island. Using the voice of a schoolmaster symbolically represents authority and knowledge. On the island, chaos and evil reign supreme, which explains its authoritative tone.
