Flight is one of the most miraculous, amazing things to be found in this world. The fact that airplanes can bring humans above the clouds from one place to another quicker than any other method is nothing short of amazing.

sublime effigy of a scenario where air travel can be particularly dangerous, and not to mention fate-changing. The Andes Flight Disaster in 1972 goes hand in hand with Golding’s novel, with eerie similarities between the two. They share many overall elements, as well as character comparability, and barbarian behaviors.
