Lord of The Flies
In this book, all of the characters are children. This serves as a comparison ground for the reader. As children, they make foolish and irresponsible mistakes, but as a reader, you are supposed to be able to relate to every single one of the mistakes that they have made. It was made to cause the reader think about their actions from a third person view, rather than their usual first person. To make the reader realize that they once acted no better than children would have, and then perhaps make them more conscious of their decisions, and making less selfish decisions.

Leo, I have heard that this book was very boring and a hard read. Was it a good book?!
That sounds pretty cool. Relating to choices made in the past has always been my forte, and this book sounds like it provokes a lot of important thoughts. Was it interesting though?
I read this for the last IRP and I found it to be very intriguing and interesting. It shows the powerful conflict between the two sides of humanity.
sorry i forgot to respond. yeah it's a pretty cool book, if you like beating yourself up about past mistakes you've done. If you feel guilty about things you've done in the past, don't read this book. Otherwise, it has a good story to it, just make sure to re-read ANYTHING you don't understand as soon as you see it.
