The Lord of the Flies
A horrible book. lol. This book is about some school boys who are taking a trip or something and are flying and then their plane crashes and all the adults die, and they land on an island, or in the ocean or something and swim to the island. So they're all there on the island, and they make shelters and figure out how to start a fire using Piggy's glasses and stuff like that. And there's this shell called a conch and when they have meetings, whoever has the conch gets to talk. And there are two leaders, like...Ralph and somebody else. I think. Well we'll call one good guy and the other bad guy. how origonal. So yeah, they're there on the island and everybody obeys good guy at first. ok good guy is too long to type, im looking up the guys name. ha! found it. Ralph is the good guy and Jack is the bad guy. OK. so everybody obeys ralph and all at first and ralph wants everyone to be good and civilized and makes them start a fire which must be guarded at all times so that someone will come find them and stuff like that. And...Jack is the bad guy and eventually people start following him and like becoming animalistic and they kill piggy and its really sad. And by the time they're all rescued, everyone is chasing Ralph and trying to kill him and I think Ralph is the only civilized one left. So they're rescued and the adults think they're all playing a game when really theyr'e like out to slaughter Ralph, so his life is saved and it's all good. But it's still a super gross story.
So...this story shows that when people are left alone without the restraints of society and rules and religeon and government and expectations and all that, they become animalistic and do not just become better and better without the negative influences surrounding them. And they try to kill anyone who stands between them and they're animalistic ways and stuff life that. Bad book lol. But i remember it! like...it left an impression on my mind. So yeah.
