Lord Of The Flies

Many people consider this book to be a classic. I'm not one of those people. Upon hearing the words "this book is a classic!", the vast majority of teenagers and older kids will yawn. I, personally, am not part of the vast majority, but I don't think this book should be shunned down by an age group just because of the way people classify it.

1940s. An airplane has just crashed into the water, and the young boys in it swim to land in order to survive. Ralph, a determined lad with a lot of potential, takes it to himself to gather all of the boys and make tribes, but another boy that is hungry for power tries to overtake everyone. How will this end for the boys... and most importantly, will they ever get off this island?

The first time I read this book was in Literature class. Because I had to write down the symbols, character traits, themes, conflicts, and all that crap, I despised this book. After I had passed the unit, I re-read it, and unraveled that it's actually a decent book. Actually, no, decent is an understatement. It's a GOOD book. I promise you. I know it sounds boring, but it's not!

Really.
