The movie was good, The book was awesome. I think it would sell out without "selling out". I want to see another move made only this time make it exactly like Golding wrote it. I dont think that would be too hard, as oppose to any other way.They would just have to stay completely away from hollywood. What is it with the need to change things that are already perfect. Thoreau,Muir,and many others asked the same question.
In Lord of the Flies, Golding explores how various aspects of our psychology drive our social behaviour. Psychological components thats play major roles in the story are: power-lust, shame and pride, social status and authority, mob-logic, goals and values, the conflict between immediate pleasure and long-term salvation, sense of morality, and various forms of fear.It's brilliant how Golding uses all these components of our nature to tell a convincing and enthralling story about how peace can degenerate into outright war. I must admit I felt the story was a little boring at the start. But once the drama began to unfold, I couldn't put it down.Whether you're after an entertaining read, or after a perceptive take on human nature, I'd recommend this one to you.
I mean I know I bought it used but it came with writing in the margins and half the book was highlighted. Will certainly keep in mind who I bought this from. Someone's name and teacher written inside the cover. I bought it as a Christmas gift but that sure isn't happening. I am pretty sure I would only buy something listed in good to excellent condition but oh well such is life. Not going to make a big deal out of it because its not worth my time but for future reference just send what people are expecting.
In this book, the group of boys stranded on the island symbolises the human race. With total disagreeance to all of those who say that this book has little to no meaning, I'd like to counter that statemnt. Jack is the major antagonist and symbol of the darkness and th interior rages and evilness that we hold within each and every one of us. Being a perfectly vivid book with deep meaning and descriptive plots, the author, William Golding, puts deep meaning to this book in a most subtle way that immature ro inadequate readers cannot truly appreciate or find. FOOTNOTES:The deeper meaning of this book ladies and gentlemen, is actually an allegory, a piece of writing that means or symbolises something by using character use or plots. Ralph symbolises the good within ourselves. But it's not my job to help you all with your reading homework.
Absolute worst book ever written. What is the point besides English boys going insane and killing eachother. I only read this book because of the reviews of five stars, but they are absoulutely wrong. Do NOT spend money on this book.
