* are there are any current situations in the world that relate to the novel? what are they, and how do they relate? does the novel shed any light on how current situations could be resolved or "fixed"?
There are so many current situations that determine the relations between the novel and the world. This novel, “Lord of The Flies” actually refers the reality of people in the world. The conflict of people for their survivals and power are identical in this story as a one theme. As the boys in this story fight each other, the people in this world do the same thing. For their desire, they put themselves in the difficulties. In this island, there are only young kids, but actually they’re shadowing the same things that are so recognizable to us to feel the similarities. The author, Modling related the story and the world so effectively to show the similarities so that readers can feel a lot of things about their behaviors and society.
In the story, the conclusion to resolve or fix this problem is to make sacrifice of suffering or separating themselves from the society. In the world, there are still many sacrifices to suffer in the society during the progress of fighting, and also there are so many difficulties to get out of the community.

Hey Eric! Talking to you right now!
Well, true. These days, people compete each other to survive in such a harsh society. You have to be better than anyone else, or you are treated as if you are nothing. Sometimes, people make crimes to reach their goal because all they see is benefit, not caring about others. In the island of the Lord of the Flies, I think the author had criticized the problem of our society really keen. We should learn from this novel. Didn't you think it was disgusting to see children killing off each other? That is the reality of the world we are living in.
Have a great time~ 1 and 1/2 hour left till the day of school!
justine// hey, you didn't read Lord of The Flies~. YOur comment is making sense and well written to make me feel more confident about my idea. GOod comment, thanks~
Why should there be sacrifices? why should there be blood and wounds in this world? It;s all because of egotistic of humans, and craving for power. I heard Lord of the Flies is an adventurous and survival story, and contains lots of reflections of our society. What people are wanting is not to show leadership, but use the word to over rule in their own way. luv the entries you have written and I so agree on your opinion.
Your post encourages discussion. Wonderful. Mrs.Mc.
