I know that maybe this was asked before! Anyways I just wonder where if there are any good websites to get notes? I would like to get a different point of view, to see where I'm getting it wrong! You can even give me yours.

Thaks the the smartass who told me to read the book! I have, seeing how I had to for class...I just want help understanding it! So sorry I bothered you and I wish Yahoo would take the two stupid points away from you.

That story is all about the dark side of humanity, and how the right circumstances can bring out our true colours and instincts.
The Island is a miniaturization of the world, and the fight symbolizes the struggle for power.
Try google for notes, or you can watch the Movie.

The author had read Ballantyne's "Coral Island" and decided that was too idealistic and he wanted to portray how he thought a group of boys would behave without parental control. If you read that, you might see where Golding was coming from.

The term Lord of the Flies refers to the Demon Beelzebub, he is called Lord of the Flies because flies are attracted to death and corruption and he is considered the corrupter of good things.

I think that it was great! The way all the boys were left on the island with no adults. And the way one guy [Jack]? went crazy at pigs and killed Piggy!
