| The one where the island got nuked. That was the best ending that could have happened. |

Oh, I loved that book. That and Animal Farm. Ninth Grade has the best reading list.
It was/is a good microcosmic of society. |

really? i thought the violence and the harsh reality that these kids had to face about their survival and the faults they pay for to enhance the story
it shows how tribalistic and primitive humans really are without structure and when the only thing to live for is yourself |

I live in the world of Lord of The Flies daily but people just shift between primitive state and a somewhat "balanced" ego here |

"it shows how tribalistic and primitive humans really are without structure and when the only thing to live for is yourself"
To me it showed that if that one Mike kid, or whatever his name was. Wanted to hold onto the past society they came from. At the heart of it we are controlled by the laws of society where ever we go.
One of my peers had to read V For Vendetta in their English class.
Speaking of which, Zac do you see anything in particular about my outfit? Remember? The Fifth? Of November? |

The one I came up with. I convinced someone in my Health Class that the island got nuked at the end of the book, she had a test on it that day. I am pure eVil. |

If only it was done without planes, or with Islam at the heart of it. Would be a big gunpowder PLOT TWIST[!] if it was done by anarchist nationalist.
Maybe the Black Glove, Black Hand is too over used. Don't want to piss off the Night Mother or Sithis.

| Order would come from the needs of the people. Need to eat, and not eat "dem berries". |

>Lord of the Flies
This need to be modernized. Sure it's a good book but it needs more of a meaning other than "No society", "we murdered a kid", and "piggy died".
First of all Piggy never said his real name (and he was called that for the rest of the story). 2nd Simon thinks the pig is talking to him (Unrealistic unless the story had mentioned he had a mental disease)

you can generealize every story into simple plot points though, it's the essence and the connections the reader can make with the story that makes it compelling and meaningful |

He had Epilepsy. If you remember correctly he had a seizure and fell of the cliff.
Three of the kids died. |

Plus the story would never outright say he had a disorder. They were in primary school, didn't know what they were.
Ass-mar isn't a condition, asthma is. |
