Lord of the Flies (My Thoughts)
My thoughts are running wild everytime I read this book so I always blog when I don't read so I don't ruin the flow of my thoughts. I think that if I code when I'm reading I might put something down that I think you might want to hear, thats why I like to pour everything out while I blog. This book lets me make so many connections to the world around me, it makes me think profoundly of current events that I can connect the book with. Ralph can represent the people, I think, everytime he mentions how he wants to be rescued I think of how people only think of themselves and just let the president do what he likes as long it doesn't affect them directly. And I think that Piggy could represent the conscious of every human being that thinks of doing the right thing but isn't powerful enough or thinks no one will listen so they just let things be, even though they know it is not right. The current chief, Jack, is our country's leader in which he thinks he is doing good but he is just accumilating the mess into something we won't be able to get out of. Like when Jack doesn't take care of the smoke signals because that might be the only way the children might get rescued but what he is doing is turning the whole pack into mad people and if they do get rescued they will not be able to acted civilized human beings and they might as well stay on the island for that.
