Lord of the Flies

Lord of the Flies.. I had to read this awful book in grade 10..or 11. I don't remember. But anyways, it was pretty awful. Why, you ask? Well, to begin with, the plot simply was not captivating, not to a grade 10 or 11 student anyways. Honestly speaking, I only remember one character from the book: Piggy. And that is when you know how bad the book is. When you can't even remember more than one character from it. If memory serves me right... the book itself was about a bunch of students whose plane crashes on an island, stranding them all there. From there on, they have to fend for themselves by hunting for food and making shelter, bla bla bla. I keep wondering what the chances of all the adults on the plane dying are... I mean, it's highly unlikely if all the students survive. The book itself may have recieved hundreds or even thousands of awards for the literature or whatever, but to me, the book was rather dirt. All I can say is, if you are a teacher teaching English, then please do substitute the novel with something else. It is better if you chose a different, more interesting novel; I'm sure your students will enjoy it much, much more. Because personally, I did not enjoy the Lord of the Flies at all.
