princessgianna Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I just finished it. And I think it was amazing. Lord of the flies gave me alot to think about concerning society in general. I am just curious to see how many people have read or at least understand the main idea. And your opinion. God Bless PG~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resurrexi Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 (edited) I read [i]Lord of the Flies[/i] over the summer. I thought that the beginning was slow, but it got better. Over all, I think it was a really good book. Edited September 3, 2009 by Resurrexi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princessgianna Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 I thought it was very profound. So much that I am going to reread it. Try again to grasp a drop of water from a large fountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhetoricfemme Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 It's a great book. It really leaves you with the thought that they're going out of the frying pan and into the fire when they get rescued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marie-Therese Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 One of my favorite books. Fascinating study in human character. I wrote several papers on that book while in school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinytherese Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I had to read it and write a paper on it in high school. I thought it was interesting when my teacher brought up how Simon was a Christ-like character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, after seeing the Simpson's version and it referenced in other places, I realized how good it was and if I read it again, I would really like it. I'm hoping to read it again soon actually.

Nihil Obstat Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I have read it, but in hindsight I was too young. I think I was about 12. Needless to say, the finer points were lost on me. I sorta vaguely got that it was a social commentary....... but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimR-OCDS Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I read the book, and it was a great example of what anarchy brings to a society. I also liked Animal Farm and 1984. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
