Lord of the flies is a book I enjoyed reading because I liked its plot and the type it was. The book starts with a group of boys whose plane was crushed in an abandoned island and had no one to find them. At first they enjoyed the feeling of being alone with no parents around them but, then the problems started. The boys were fighting and killing each other for the leadership. They were divided in two groups between Jack and Ralph. While being there the boys were trying to find help by building a fire, unfortunately no one saw them until one day a ship rescued them. The end was emotional for some readers because, they were saved after all this time of acting like grown ups they felt again like children. I would recommend this to anyone who loves reading classic books with a little horror in it.
Lord of the flies- book review
The famous allegorical novel by William Golding, Lord of the Flies, is a book like no other.
It’s a story about how a group of boys, ranging from the ages 6 – 12, managed to survive living in a dessert island in the middle of nowhere without supervision and how they slowly became rivals of each other, after their plane broke down and all the adults tragically died, it’s all good and fun unlit the ‘Lord of the Flies’ starts playing mind-games with them.
The main characters we come across is Ralph and Jack. Ralph is the leader he is known for his bravely and fairness, although, in the beginning, Jack seems to accept it, the last chapters show otherwise. Speaking of Jack, he is mostly known to have savage nature, but I would also characterize him as strong-willed. Then we have Simon, one of the littluns, he is full of kindness (not to be unfair to the others, but he is my personal favorite).
The author uses advanced language, and an impressing was of setting a scene. What truly left a mark on me was the character development, of no other than Jack. How power and leadership blinded him, and he became a completely different person. What also impressed me, and this thought keeps me up at night, is how the circumstances forced children to act like something they are not, adults.
I would undisputedly recommend this book, not for all ages thought, I think it would be ideal for teens and adults. What kept me occupied and alerted was the horror elements, not particularly scary or creepy, I was rather quivering with fear. Warning: I’m not an emotional person yet in the end I cried, just a little bit.
Most people would say that ''Lord Of The Flies'' is a very intriguing book, which is precisely the case. The author questions every now and then the loyalty people show, the impact they have on the people around them and it is generally a philosophical story. It also shows the arrogance that people may express, the need for authority in groups of people as well as who should and who shouldn't be in charge. It isn't only a book whose contents are meant to entertain those that read it but it is a story that questions a lot of things we do daily and makes us process these thoughts. It is overall a well-written book that emphasizes a lot on the surroundings of the protagonists and the environment.
Lord of the flies is about the story of some boys surviving on an island after the plane they were traveling with, gets shot down. The boys don't know each other. Moments after their arrival, the boys start spreading rumors about a beast existing in the island. Then, a boy named Ralph, tries to assemble a meeting by blowing into a conch shell, but, another boy named Jack fights with him for leadership. The group of boys splits, lose their cooperation and forget about their actual goal which was; trying to survive and being rescued, but, actually focus on fighting with the other tribe.
This story has so many things that can be learnt from it. This is because, the author is describing our society and how people can behave in some cases. He explains the problems that can be resulted when collaboration with other kids is not being supervised by adults. The novel has as its themes the civility and the morality and it shows some beliefs about humanity; this can help us understand the way kids were raised by their parents back then. The author also decribes human nature and tells us how any person can become evil so, he can survive and save himself.
I think that, the author's goal is to change the way people act and teach us how can teamwork help us get through tough experiences in our lives!
There's a war going on
inside of me tonight ( don't be afraid)
Wait, it's just about to break
It's more than I can take
Everything's about to change
This song was published in 2013 by Thousand Foot Krutch. Also the name of the song is War of Change.
I like to listen this song when I feel sad for something also when I have to choose between two things and when I am dissapointed with myself but when I am listenning many lyrics make me feel happy and to think many ways to change everything and it's not going away.
Scars to your beautiful- Alessia Cara
Scars to your beautiful is a song which was published back in 2015 by Alessia Cara. In an interview Alessia Cara stated about the song:
It's directed at women, but I think men can relate to it as well. It's just a song about these things that certain women go through on a daily basis in order to feel loved or in order to love themselves.
In my opinion the message that she is trying to give us is definitely clear. As a teenager of 2021 where social media are spread all over the world and photoshop is at its highest with not only models but even younger girls making themselves look stunning and perfect, I have been several times in the position of looking at myself and wondering why I am not like them and convincing me that I am not enough. However, after listening to this song and finding the trend with girls actually showing their true selves, I started believing in me and feeling better for myself, as the lyrics say, feeling beautiful just the way I am. It was not that I didn't know that it was all fake, but at the back of my mind I still believed that some of them can be real which might be the truth but this is not the point. What makes me even happier is that this song has not made only me feel grateful and happy with myself, but also thousands of other girls who thought the same as me. I would recommend you to take a look at the videoclip of the song which is only five minutes. It is worth it.
"There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark
You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful
We're stars and we're beautiful"
Hayloft – Mother Mother
This song is considerably old as it was released on 2008. However, recently the band got pretty popular as most of their songs went viral, including 'Hayloft'.
The song itself has a really upbeat rhythm, thelyrics however have a dark meaning. I hadn't realised this when I first heard it, but it somehow made the song even better. Hayloft is about a child, whose father is an undercover psychopath who kills trespassers that enter his barn thinking it is abandoned.
"If I was you, I'd wanna be me too." Meghan Trainor, "Me Too"
This may be an old song, but it is still a hit! I listen to this song when I am not feeling myself, have low self-esteem and it makes me feel more confident, especially this lyric! Furthermore, it reminds me of when I was a youngster, when we all were naive and only wanted to have fun!
Anyways, you can listen to it too and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
