This week me and my book group read Lord of the Flies by William Golding, it is about a group of British school boys who get marooned on an island and they have to survive. They are about 6 to 12 years old and they are all experimenting with being free for some of the very time. The boys begin, at first, to handle this really well, establishing rules as well as a leader names Ralph. He was chosen basically because at the beginning of the book he finds this conch shell and when he blows it all of the kids come and gather before him.
I have read the book previously, but it is still an awesome book that looks at the darker side of even 12 year old kids. I also thought that even though the book was short it was still able to convey the message that a longer book could have done. In the end you all should definitely read this book and even might half to, and for you lazy un's as they say in the book, there is a movie.
My favorite character is Piggy, he just seems like he is trying to do the good thing, and like in Captain America, if you have always had power you will abuse it if given more, but if your are like Steve and do not have a lot of power, then you will use it for good.
