I have finally finished reading lord of the flies this week! And I want to talk about the book for the blog.
The boys finally got rescued! Even there was only a few left. I was surprised on Piggy's death, because he was always the one that have new ideas for the community and I thought his intelligence is going to get the group rescued. I thought it was funny that when Ralph and Piggy was wanting to build a fire they never kept it up, but when the two groups are fighting and nobody was mainly working on building a fire, the forest lit up and the smoke was seen. It was not surprising that Jack created his own tribe, because after the first election, Jack, obviously, was not satisfied with the results. I believe the Ralph ruling will work if Ralph had more power in the community and more strict, like Jack. I do think Piggy's death on the clif was an accident, Piggy was annoying Jack and his tribe, even the tribe was pretty violent but they're not that bad to kill a human. I believe part of the reason Jack was more against Ralph and the previous community they had is because the Conch broke, Jack didn't care for it, but deep in his heart, there is still symbolisms of authority in the Conch. I do really like the happy ending, I was afraid at the end, they're all going to die on the island. I really like this book very much!

Tiger! I am so glad that you liked this book. Thanks for all that you have contributed to the class in class discussion. I remember being shocked by Piggy's death and feeling tense at the end of the book the first time I had ever read it, too! 20/20
