Hi
So far I think that LOTF is a great book. My favourite character is Ralph but he is also the most frustrating. I have the most sympathy with Piggy and Jack. Piggy because he has to put up with all the rubbish that is going on ad Jack because he is thought of as the villain of the story and all he wants to do is hunt and have a good time. I think The Lord of the Flies is such a popular book because it shows us what happens when human society breaks down. In a was you could see the ongoing rivalry between Ralph and Jack as the battle between the part of our brain that stands for civilisation and rules and the wild side of us. I think that if I had to sum up the book so far I would say "When a group of schoolboys are stranded on a deserted island, a sunny paradise quickly turns into something much more sinister.
