Lord Of The Flies


I'm taking Pre-AP English 1 freshman year, and for my summer reading I had to read Lord Of The Flies, the creepiest book of all time. The five main charecters are:

Ralph

Piggy

Simon

Jack

Roger

A group of boys from a british school are stranded on an island when their plane is attacked during the next world war.

As it starts out Ralph is the Chief, they have a fire to make smoke so they can be rescued, Piggy is the brains Ralph's right-hand man almost if it wasn't for everyone making fun of him, Simon quiet but smart he goes with them for everything important and he is absent of fear, Jack is leader of the hunters(choir) but hates Ralph with a passion for being Cheif, and Roger is quiet and secretive(Emo) and you don't understand the horrible signs given about him until the end of the book.

Then the unthinkable happens Jack runs off as a savage taking his hunters with him. Slowly the others follow cRaZeD. Till only four are left sane: Ralph, Piggy, and the twins SamnEric. Simon is dead, the savages killed him in a crazed dance and only the four sane people know it was Simon who was killed, the others call him the Beast rather than admit the truth. Then the savages lead by Roger and Jack, kill Piggy, take SamnEric hostage, and hunt for Ralph. Luckily Ralph is saved, yet slightly demented from fear, by a naval officer who saw the smoke.


It is the creepiest book in the history of the world! It also goes to show hunting meat is just the next step to hunting man. I wonder is it testosteron that drove them insane, fear, or lack of options? I think if it had a been a school of girls this wouldn't have happened, we aren't idiots.



  1. we would have set up a System: foragers, fire keepers, builders, water carriers

  2. we wouldn't hunt, if there is fruit we have no need for meat, and therefore there is no need for weapons which will only bring the end of us

  3. our council would make RULES and decisions to keep us all in line

  4. no one would turn savage as it is not in a womans blood, and we would stay clean and orderly, a place to bath and wash our clothes, seperate lavatory, seperate shelter

  5. if we were not rescued we would still survive in our own community without going back to the ways of prehistoric generations

we're smart about it this book prooves very few guys are and its very hard to beat an army of the mentally insane. :)
