I am currently reading Lord of the Flies this book is very good. The text of this book affected me in many ways because it symbolizes how savage people become when they really need things. When I was younger I use to steal a lot because I didn’t have all the things I wanted. I fell that’s just the beginning stages for many other people. Many people feel that most savage acts come from animal, that’s not true. If you stop and think about homeless people who steal and do what they need to do to eat to survive, that’s part of being savage. This book really shows how down and dirty people can be. Each child in the book represents a person of evil, wisdom, jealousy and so on. If you look around you would see that the person next to you represent one of the words. This is good because people don’t start off being bad people they are mad the way they are. I feel this relates to me because I am a much different person now than I was when I was a kid. I feel this is because my life influence is what caused me to be the way I am now.
What a thoughtful post, Breona. (A bit short, though. Be sure to hit the 250 word mark for full credit.)
ReplyDeleteI thought Lord of the Flies was a chilling look at humanity. And, yes, I think reading it from an adult perspective makes you really think back to the person you were as a child.
