  • Essay / Reflecting on a year of rigorous literary study

    Lord of the Flies is about a boat boy who attended the Academy, was shipwrecked, and washed up on the shore of an island. Once they arrive on the island, they discover that it appears to be this. there is no one there and the only adult with them is terribly injured. the boys then subpoenaed the captain and decided they had to defend themselves. They built a ship, a plane or a helicopter, they passed by so they could be rescued, but as time went by the boys became available and a group of boys grew tired of the captain's ways and decided to claim their own game. and becoming the hunters throughout the story the boys slowly turn against each other and end up killing 3 characters at the very end of the tour, left with a boy who was the captain was not killed, but she ran away from the hunters as they tried to burn him from the forest. As he runs, he comes to the shore where he bumps into an adult, and the book ends. Although this novel is not everyone's cup of tea, it shows what power can do to someone and how, without a society of rules, madness occurs. Even though this novel made me cry, it remains by far my favorite novel from my high school.
