LMAO good one hugs…RATF
Lord of the Flies by William Golding
Great one Morgan but how does that tie in with Animal farm?
Its another book that explains complex things to children.
Much as I hate agreeing with alfie…
Lord of the flies is a very political book, in a more profound sense than Animal Farm.
Animal Farm is about the Russian Revolution…Orwell found it difficult to get a publisher because of the pro-Soviet feeling in Britain during the war.
Don’t get me wrong, Orwell is a fine writer, though 1984 is a better novel (and Homage to Catalonia a better political book)
but Lord of the Flies is more profound, dealing with human nature, gang bullying and intimidation. It’s a profoundly Christian book too – Beelzebub is another word for the Lord fo the Flies..
Thought provoking book 1984
I reckon the film…The Maze Runner had influences from Lord of the flies.
