Lord Of The Flies A Bad Thing Essay

795 Words4 Pages

Lord of the flies was a very interesting book it was good for the most part, for example the story was good! but the reason i say it was “good for the most part” is because of the beginning it was awful it did not explain anything how they got there what happened and they weren’t even scared and then they went swimming? Just didn't make sense at all. Another bad thing about the book is that the very end was good but predictable he got rescued and it was happily ever after other than the fact of all the deaths. The last bad thing I have to say about the book is were really no likeable characters some were jerks (Jack) some were bossy (Raphael) others thought they were always right (Piggy) it would have been nice to see at least one lovable main character. Plus all of the people even if they were not the main characters were mean to Piggy like when Raphael said he would keep Piggy’s secret of his nickname and then told everyone like who does that? Piggy doesn’t even stand up for himself and still finds raphael a role model. Jack was also very stuck up and obnoxious he was jealous of Raphael’s power so he turned every one against him. I know i’ve been standing up for Piggy but at the same time he is obnoxious himself he always thinks he is right even though most of the time he is …show more content…

When I say when it starts to pick up I mean in the beginning of the book it was brutally boring. A side from the fact that the beginning was extremely boring and very undescriptive and all the characters were non loveable and rather rude this book was rather quite good I would recommend this book not only for the adventure and action but also because it is a

    The environment, specifically the power within proves stronger than the character traits of those involved. In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, there is a complete and very sudden elimination of civilization and structure within the group of boys. This is significant because of their age and the lack of ability to be independent that has not developed enough to the extent that they have the capability to survive on a deserted island together without any adults. For instance, Ralph exclaims “No grownups!” (Golding 8).

    I do think some improvements here and there could really make the book better. The writing is marvelous, much like Neal’s other books, but the plot seemed under-developed and disjointed. It’s as if he wrote an a thousand page book, then cut all the important, thought provoking pages out; leaving the book to be good, but choppy. Overall, I’m really glad I read this book, and I think others should as

    The author ended with a cliffhanger but it doesn’t really make me want to read the next one. If he had made the book longer and finished talking about how Sarney and Nightjohn taught in the pit school it would’ve been better. I wouldn’t recommend this book to someone unless they really liked books about history. My opinion on the movie is worse than the book. The only thing I liked about the movie is that Pawley got married and the slaves seem happier than described in the book.

    Brilliant Piggy is restricted from the power of the conch, showing just how little power he has, and how Jack’s quest for power has influenced the bystanding boys into being oblivious of the misdeeds towards Piggy. Piggy’s final moment of weakness falls at the end of the story, “Then the sea breathed out again in a long slow sigh, the water boiled white and pink over the rock; and when it went, sucking back again, the body of Piggy was gone,” (201). In this personification, and in Piggy’s death, you can still see power. Piggy’s death powers the chaos that ensues, Ralph’s savageness and hiding, and Jack’s craze for death, which ultimately ended in crying when they were rescued. Piggy supported the theme of power in his lack

    What I didn 't like about my book is that it left me on a cliff hanger. I cannot tell you how much I dislike cliff hangers. They make everything so confusing. For example you have an idea of what the ending will be, then the cliffhangers come around and they put a twist on your theory. They leave you in suspicion wondering about what will happen next, and they make it seem like there is going to be another book, when there isn 't. Sometimes they aren 't annoying, they just make you think about the story, and the purpose of the story in a way.
