Lord of the Flies

The last book I read was Lord of the Flies. It was written by William Golding in 1954. I picked this book because I had to read it in eighth grade but didnt pay attention. I thought the parts I did hear sounded pretty good, so I read it again and enjoyed it.

This book was about a plane of British school boys who crashed on an uninhabited island. All the adults in the plane died, leaving all the children alone on the island. They tried to make rules and form a society. They had hunters, two boys watched the fire, and the rest gathered food and built things. They also elected a leader who called meetings and announced things. There were "littluns" who were the younger boys and then biguns who were the older boys. They try and survive with their rules until help comes which ends up being longer and harder than they thought.
