lord of the flies




The Lord of the flies by William Golding is a book that takes you through the survival of a group of young boys who were on a plane shot down over an island in WWII. In the book, all the boys gather together and elect a leader, his name is Ralph. In the book you also follow the other leaders’ piggy and jack who are two completely different souls. As you progress, you watch the tribe they set up fall apart. Ralph is the only one keeping it afloat. After the tribe completely collapses, it splits into two parts the savages and the children. And until the children are rescued, we watch the savages hunt the children.
This book is revolutionary because it provides a look into the lives of these children while WWII wages around them. But little does anyone fighting the war know, these young men, are fighting for survival against the island, and themselves. My opinion on this book is that it is an amazing classic that I would recommend to anyone who likes horror stories. This story was a great read and very inspiring. If I could recommend any horror, it would be this. A!
