Lord of the Flies by William Golding: Final Thoughts

Lord of the Flies was a very well-written and thought-provoking book. It showed how young boys, the picture of innocence, when left alone, can become savages. They started as a group of kids trying to make sense of their situation, and they slowly descended into savageness. I would love to give you many grisly examples of this, but you'll just have to read the book yourself. I would recommend this book to just about anyone. It provides readers with some of the most basic facts about human nature.
