Themes of "The Lord of the Flies"
In the book, Lord of the Flies, the theme was that people should learn to work together as a team so they don’t turn on each other and kill each other. The author of this book is William Golding and it is an action novel. In the story some of the characters try to preserve peace while others kill each other and get out of control. They end up having different sort of teams and little wars.
There were many interesting things in this story. All the characters were kids stranded on an island. The main characters were Ralph, Jack, and Piggy. They are all stranded in a big island in the middle of the ocean where no one will be able to find them. They all turn on each other and fight.
The author narrated in the third person mostly concentrating on the main characters. He uses a lot of British slang. There are many long sentences consisting of long difficult words. There is a big use of hyperbole and metaphors. But there isn’t very much personification. William Golding is a very good descriptive author.
The author comes from England and the characters in this story do, too. Kids would probably like it most because it is about kids running amok in their own horrible little society.
