Chronicle In Favor Of Books Lord of the Flies

At the dawn of the next world war, a plane crashes on an uncharted island, stranding a group of schoolboys. At first, with no adult supervision, their freedom is something to celebrate; this far from civilization the boys can do anything they want. Anything. They attempt to forge their own society, failing, however, in the face of terror, sin and evil. And as order collapses, as strange howls echo in the night, as terror begins its reign, the hope of adventure seems as far from reality as the hope of being rescued. Labeled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, even a vision of the apocalypse, Lord of the Flies is perhaps our most memorable novel about “the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart.”

Article Containing Books Lord of the Flies

I was Piggy (well, in personality at least, though not in portliness). I hated everyone who picked on him. I still do. Should people be forgiven for what they do on a deserted island? That depends on whether you think their true nature has revealed itself, or their humanity has been corrupted by circumstance and stress. In a world where almost every human trait is now considered a product of both nature and nurture, would Golding have written his tale differently today? No, I don't believe so.

A hard book to rate as although its well written and is very thought provoking, the content gets unpleasantly graphic and some aspects are awkwardly dated (eg the assumption the British boys should be jolly good chaps - were not savages, were English).PlotIt starts off as a conventional adventure: a mixed group of boys (some know each other; many who dont) survive a plane crash on a desert island and struggle to survive. It is somewhat confused and confusing at first perhaps to make the reader

BOYS WILL BE BOYS THERE'S A PIG'S HEAD.

DAMN!!I think reading this book as an adult affects me more. You come to realize that things and circumstances can change drastically with no rules or repercussions.I really loved Lord of the Flies and think everyone should read this one day. It's not a long book but it will make an impression on you.It makes you think and dread what would happen if...Maybe there is a beast maybe it's only us.The writing of William Golding was well done and detailed on the breakdown of humanity and sensibility.

Uneducated children on this comment section will need a bit more time for their mental capacity to fully develop. Don't worry kids, you eventually

This book shocked me. Not so much because of the content, I will come onto that, but because my gentle, kind, mother recommended it to me. My mum who mutes the TV when a swear word is coming up and who can't stand any type of violence recommended a book that involves children killing each other. Perhaps in her case familiarity has rendered the content less offensive--she studied it in high school and it had her childish scrawls all the way through, also entertaining! That said, there was a lot

Kids are evil. Don't you know?I've just finished rereading this book for my book club but, to be honest, I've liked it ever since my class were made to read it in high school. Overall, Lord of the Flies doesn't seem to be very popular, but I've always liked the almost Hobbesian look at the state of nature and how humanity behaves when left alone without societal rules and structures. Make the characters all angel-faced kids with sadistic sides to their personality and what do you have? Just your
