Lord of the Flies - Wolf Brother

Ralph, Torak, Wolf, Piggy, Renn, have all fought in the spirit of their heart. Ralph and Torak, fighting to do what they believe is right. Wolf being a guide, with Renn, a companion.


We see the same things in pretty much all the characters. But what makes them different from each other, especially Piggy and Torak is the fact that one of them lives, and the other dies. Torak, with his goal to defeat the Bear whatever way necessary, and Piggy with his goal to aid himself and Ralph, and solve solutions, but with the same big idea, take very different paths. Let’s explore each character and analyze what happened. Torak, along with wolf has been trying to get to the Mountain of the World Spirit in the north. However there is something about what he does, and how he does it that lets him live to tell the tale. He always had a trusty companion like Renn, and Wolf. Someone who knew what they were doing, and he also had skills already taught to him for that situation. Piggy on the other hand, was overweight, didn’t know how to survive, and only had one person that could barely help him. Ralph.


Torak first started his adventure by himself. Later finding Wolf, and then understanding more about the Prophecy. As he found the Raven Clan, he thought they were going to kill him. But Fin-Keddin had another plan in mind. He was actually testing him. He let him have wolf next to him. He left him alone. He let him escape. Because he was testing Torak’s wits and courage. Not to see if he was the listener. After Torak escaped, with Renn there to help him later, he finds the Nanuak with the help of wolf, falls into ice holes, but he has the wits, the mindset, and the skills to get himself out of almost every situation. The only thing that Torak had to worry about was the Raven Clan finding him again, and the bear. He swore an oath to his father that he would do it. And he wouldn’t let anything or anyone stop him. He would die trying.


Piggy was just ‘Piggy.’ He didn’t know what to do. He was just smart and payed attention in class. He didn’t have the skills, he didn’t have the wits. He was scared all the time. Relying on Ralph to do things for him that were too burdening. And in the end he died. No one can say that it was his fault, but he did influence it upon himself in a way. He wasn’t fit, he probably didn’t care about survival since you know, if he stayed at home, he would be safe. But in this world, anything can happen. He just wasn’t prepared.


These aren’t the only major characters in each story. Oh no. Because all these characters had a cause and a reason for what they were doing. The Beast, and the Bear. The only thing is that the Bear was real. A demon trapped in a bear. Only purpose is to kill the forest and everyone in it. The Beast on the other hand was not real. It was a parachuter that died, but they didn’t know that. They let it get to them. And they didn’t let it out. It was a fate they brought upon themselves.

The UWCSEA Community Stands Up Against Cancer.

A highly anticipated event brings the UWCSEA community together as students and teachers alike shave their head for cancer with help of The Cancer Awareness GC during their lunch time to take time and cherish those who lost to hair loss cancer on March 20th. UWCSEA is definitely making a change in this world as many others need to do too.

High school, middle school and primary school students of UWCSEA gathered together in the plaza to support the 48 participants who were shaving their head for cancer awareness and more importantly to share why they we taking part in this event. Student Ali Shah from 7PGu said that he was doing this for years and now he is attached to it. Weeks before, participants we required to go around collecting donations bring the UWC community together for the greater good.

A passionate crowd stood for the duration of all 3 lunch times supporting the contributors showing their admiration for their bravery. The students came onto the stage in the tent plaza and shared a message as to why they were participating. One of the youngest students, a grade 3 child Morgan Radford-Gray participated said he was shaving his head for his friend who was currently battling cancer. After they finished, they left the stage with a smile earning a roaring applause from the audience.

This event raised over SG$ 65,000 and went towards Cancer Patients Aid Association (CPAA) in Mumbai, India. Over the 3 years that this event has been added to the UWC community it has raised over SG$ 125,000. In addition, 19 girls shaved their long hair for the Singapore based Recycle Your Hair which makes wigs for cancer patients in Singapore.

Students are not being forced to do this in any shape or form, they are wholeheartedly, doing this out of their own will. Students find the motivation to do this for people close to them they have lost due to cancer.

Schools like UWCSEA are taking action for this deadly disease and it is bringing people closer together. Highly awaited events like these are making a difference and raising awareness about fundraisers like these in the world we live in. The world needs more events like this to make our world a better place.
