Lord of the Flies: Analysis

     The setting of Lord of the Flies is on an island that they crashed on. "We're on an island. We've been on the mountaintop and seen water all round,"(Golding 32). I can conclude that the character Jack in the story is someone who thinks of themselves as much better than everyone else because of the way he marches up at the beginning of the book and automatically thinks he is in charge of everyone, but he eventually sees that he isn't and begins to want to be in charge and he gets mad at Ralph,"'Choir! Stand still!' Wearily obedient, the choir huddled into line and stood there swaying in the sun."(Golding 20).

Lord of the Flies: Characters

     

          Over the course of my book the characters haven't changed a lot personality wise but with their relations with each other. There is a group of choir students that follow a person named Jack, he wants to hunt for the group and he thinks he is in charge but the rest of the people want Ralph in charge. When Jack catches his first pig on page 70 but he left the signal fire and stopped them from getting rescued to go hunt. After that he thought that because of that he controlled everyone and he used it as a way to bully the other kids "'You would, would you? Fatty!' Ralph made a step forward and Jack smacked Piggy's head." This Picture is from the scene in the movie with Jack and Ralph.

Lord of the Flies

         I like this book so far, it has a good plot and reminds me of a lot of movies and other books, but the plot is more unique like how all of the characters are children and they are trying to survive with little knowledge of survival. I really am enjoying this book partially because of how odd the author made it and I like the theme of the book.

Lord of the Flies book recommendation

       In my opinion this is a very good book but you would have to like this theme. The author has very good characterization and word choices, they describe everything in good detail that needs description but they use just the right amount and don't use detail obsessively. The book is about a group of kids that crash on an island in a plane and have little experience in the wild so they have to try and survive on their own without the help of adults.

Lord of the Flies

      This book is very good so far, I heard about it from my sister and she said she read it when she was my age so I decided to read it too. So far the main people in the book have had a lot of trouble keeping everything organized. The main struggle is surviving on the island with multiple people wanting to be in charge.

Lord of the Flies Tone

     The tone of my book is happy at the beginning and gets somewhat distressed later in the book. The people speak in a happy way at the beginning when they think that they will have fun on the island without any adults, however, they realize after about thirty pages that without adults everything is harder because of their limited knowledge and have to take care of young kids. After they start to want adults the tone switches to distressed and they are struggling with the life on the island and want to be saved

Lord of the Flies

          This is a somewhat complicated book so far. Judging on what has happened so far in the book, I am guessing that eventually the conflict will be something about a struggle for power because of a person who thinks he should be in charge and is better than everyone and another who wants to lead because he started as leader at the beginning. The book is somewhat similar to the TV show Lost, because of its setting being on an island that they crashed on and then had to try to make everything less chaotic. I can relate to this because is like when people in groups compete or work together, everyone wants to be a leader. This can be related to the world because there is problems all around the world, like the civil war in Syria but the situation isn't exactly the same because there wasn't a power to start with like in Syria.
