Lord Of The Flies Review .=]

What if you were stranded on an island with no food or shelter ? Oh yeah and you're only 10 years old. Lord of the flies, by William Golding, is a book that everyone should read and was one of my all time favorites for a few reasons. The plot was unlike any other book i've read before. The characters had many different personalities andclashed at parts in the book. For a book with all kids in it, there was enough violence for a Stephen King book.

There was many different characters that differed from appearance and personality.The children in this book acted like animals. The children on the island were seperated into 2 basic categories, the biguns ( big kids ) and the littluns ( little kids ). These kids behavior is very aggressive towards eachother. They get very hostile from being on the island so long and they start to change into animals. They behave like animals, eat like animals, and fight like animals.

The violence in this story made it very exciting. It starts off with a plane crashing on an island during the cold war. War is very violent and it lays a violent background for the story. Children started to kill eachother for food and just because they were going insane. At one point in the story the kids attack and kill a main character Piggy with a boulder. This is very violent for kids no older than 12 years old.

The plot of this story is brilliant. The situation they put the children in is very creative of the author. It shows how fast things get out of hand when the rules are not there to be inforced. The kids changed for the worst when they were in live or die conditions. Everybody was going crazy and people were getting out of hand but as soon as they wee rescued all the conflict stopped and it seemed to the kids that none of it ever happened at all.

In conclusion to this essay I would like to say that the plot mixed in with all the violence and the right characters made for an amazing book. I recommend everyone to read this and I bet it will be worth your time.
