One quote that supports Lapis’s point is when Golding describes Ralph’s internal conflict as he grapples with the allure of power and savagery: “The conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist.” This moment illustrates the breakdown of civilization and order among the boys, emphasizing their descent into chaos. By providing this insight into Ralph's thoughts and the significance of the conch, the omniscient narration allows readers to understand the moral implications of their choices and encourages them to judge the characters and their actions in the context of human nature.

In lord of the flies, the narrator provides an omniscient, drone’s-eye view of the boys on the island. How does that choice by the author help to involve the reader in the developing story? How does it encourage the reader to sit in judgement of the characters?

The boys decline in savory as a result the reader is in a position to consider the larger issues of mankind civilization, and the human evil side, encouraging a critical analysis of the decisions made by each character and ensuing effects.
