Help with English Assignment

[Conspiracy-]

 So my teacher decided to be nice today and give us a short assignment that's due tomorrow and I was busy with other things and have other homework to attend to on top of this.Its on Lord of the Flies and the question is basically this "Orthodox Christianity regards mankind as marked by original sin. That is Adam fell from grace in the garden of Eden and all men are thus in inherently evil. However, there is some hope in the promise that a redeemer will come to save mankind. Does Golding share this traditional christian viewpoint?"

 Not that difficult but thrown with other work and tests tomorrow and it becomes time consuming.Any help or suggestions are welcome  :dontknow:

Well Golding assumes that man's natural state is barbarous. Whether he is an orthodox christian is up to wikpedia to decide. If he is, then yes, he does belive in the idea of original sin in the form of Adam's fall from Eden. If this prallel is extended to the redeeming figure (god) then the rescuers who come for the boys are the redeemers. It is almost as if civilized society becomes the Eden from which the kids have fallen, and then a representation of civilized society (the ship and sailors) comes and redeems them (or whats left of them), bringing them back to their formerly civilized state.

This was just off the top of my head...I haven't even glanced at the book in 4 years, but hope that helps!

No book can be summed up in a paragraph 

but yeah I don't even remember plot details, so...

i remember a few things about the book.... but it was just way too long ago plus it's well complex so i won't even bother.

check sparknotes or gradesaver.  great webbies for any of your high school english homework needs.

the book, while it may seem simple at first, is very complex.
