So
far this book has nothing to do with flies and I doubt it will. Never
the less, it probably has some significance symbolically and I should
keep a note on that as I read. Any way, what this book is actually
about: a bunch of boys aged elementary school and tweens that
apparently crash landed on an island (or were dropped onto an island
after their plane malfunctioned or was shot down?) without any adults.
That's pretty much all I know... There will probably be struggles with
power and survival throughout the group of boys later in the story.
There are two current boys who are very good candidates to lead the
group, and though they are getting along now, they probably won’t around
the middle of the book.
The
only other really extraordinary aspect about the author (William
Golding) besides the fact that he is an award winning author, is that he
fought in the Navy during WWII. This probably means that Golding
knows a little bit about surviving and death and power ranks, and that
he will probably convey this situation very well.
Hopefully this book stays interesting and we’ll see what happens! I should be writing my next post soon!
Ahh yes, the Lord of the Flies. A riveting classic, full of symbolism, (mild) action and suspense, while at the same time not being too difficult of a book to read through (unlike some long, confusing, archaically worded, other classics). I, too, have read this book, and I can assure you that it will be a very good read! Looking forward to future content!
