| Even though I was forced into reading the book, and I hated it at first, it is very symbolic. Almost everything that happens is symbolic. It's called Lord of The Flies because of the dead pig's head on the stick. They call it the gift to darkness, which should tip you off. Beelzebubb is how Satan's name was originally written in the Bible, it is sometimes translated as "Lord of The Flies". A lot of what happens is a reference to WWII, which is expected because it was written and published under 10 years after the war. |

| Also, they are looking for the "Beast" the entire time, but it turns out that they all have the beast inside of them, and Simon is represents all that is good, and some people think Jesus Christ. Because he is such a perfect figure that never does anything bad, and is killed and insulted while only trying to help everyone else. |

I read snippets of the book on assignment and it didn't make sense
It was too boring to read all the way through To Kill A Mockingbird was far more interesting IMO |

| At the end we watched the movie in class. Until we started, the teacher didn't know what it was rated. It turned out being rated R. We still watched it :). He also taught a grade above my class, they watched a PG-13 movie and their parents had to sign papers saying they could watch it. But my class also got to watch snippets of Saving Private Ryan. (This was in 6th grade :D) |
