I really liked this novel because it showed the influences of society through an adventurous story. The human universal questions are answered through his book. I haven’t read such a unique story like this in my life. If there are stories like these, they mostly just go straight to the setting of a society possibly at school or a work place. But I could see that this novel is different from any other interesting stories with the same theme.
The main theme of the story truly got me thinking about the scriptures and stories of the bible. The Lord of the flies shows us the inherent evil of man with no moral compasses. We humans will always go back to their primal urges and desires of sins. We have a loss of innocence and this relates to the story of the Lord of the Flies to the story of Adam and Eve. Eve was tempted by the snake in to eat the apple in the tree and before thinking about it she sinned. Then when the influence of Eve to Adam shows us the influence when Jack had become to leader and he too influenced the other children to join him. The loss of innocence was when Eve and Adam both realized that they were naked when they finished eating the apple. This compares to when they killed the kid. They realized how valuable life was and how they could be so violent.

Hey Karen,
I personally liked the book, even though some wording and passages were confusing, because there were so many things that were revealed about ourselves, humans. After reading the end of the book, i was so deep in curiosity because there were so many questions that were unanswered and i wanted to know them. I'm still interpreting the meaning of the title, because i don't fully understand it. This book is surely unique and different as the other dystopian book i read, because I felt that learned something important, but not unable to fully know what it is i learnt.
I never knew you would relate the lord of the flies with the bible! It is really interesting and unique that no other people in our class did this. The story you recalled is exactly true compared to the theme of the book. Humans are sinners. We do have the desire to sin whenever the devil comes to us. The comparison you have made was thoughtful!
Overall, nice post~
