Lord of the flies

Imagine that you are trapped in an island with other boys and there is no way to get out and get care from the adults. How would you live, and survive with other boys? Well, you will first be very nice to each other because you were already adapted with the environment to get care, and protect others. Then, when you really need to hunt and kill animals to get meat, how would you kill it? When you first kill it, you will feel very bad to see all the bloods, but when it comes to an end, you will feel nothing about killing living things. Like this, it will be very terrible to be trapped in an island with only boys. However, this is what exactly happened in the book, " Lord of the flies".

   

 

If I briefly summarize this book, this is about a group of boys living in an island due to plane crash in a world war. At first, they were really nice to each other because they remember what society is, and how they had to act in society. However, after many moths, their living without parents became a somewhat celebration. They could do anything they want, and the rules they reminded at the first they arrived at island was all collapsed. Then, they become more like animals rather than human. They killed Simon, Piggy, and even tried to kill Ralph. The book ends with an officer coming back and being rescued.

     

While I read this book, I felt little bit scary about how young boys act. I couldn't imagine boys on the age 6~12 are killing each other, cutting heads and sharpening the stick. However, it was not really, really scary because I knew it was just a story. If it was real, I wouldn't have read this book since it was scary. The sentence, "Piggy's head opened and the stuff came out and turned red" was especially scary. I hate Jack because I think he is so selfish and like killing each other.

     In conclusion, even though the book was little scary,I liked this book because it told me how "civilization" work. Due to this book, I could know civilization better by reading a story.
