Overall I think this book is an okay book. But if I had a chance to choose my own book, I would never read this book. I m not really a smart person, and I do not really like to read books that are written for classes or just for educational purposes. I usually prefer fiction books, because they are not that hard o understand and they do not try to confuse their readers. This book has lots of confusion in it. It is kind of historical; it contains some part of world history in it. And it is hard for people that do not have any idea what it was like to live in that period of time. And these parts confuse me, as a reader. I think that author showed a lot a lot of symbolism in this book, which is most likely the reason I do not understand it clearly. But the good thing about this book that it show the what reality is rally like. The behavior that is show in this book is same as it is these days. Also author tried to encourage people and his readers around the world to be more caring and loving, and not to be a racist. The most things that the world needs right now and I think it will always need it is love. World around us is cruel and sinful and people are used to it, so they can not anything about it.

hi my prettiest friend sasha. i do agree with you that this book contains full of symbolism and implication that i do not understand. i feel good now since i am not the only one who did not understand the profound deep meaning of the story. like you i would never read this sort of book if i were to read a book i would prefer. the part that confused me was when simon had a talk with lord of the flies because i could not imagine a person talking with a bunch of flies.
Like you, I also think that this book contains many symbolisms that is hard for us to understand. It is really confusing when we do not think deeply enough to understand what events represent what. For me, when I was reading this novel, I had to look up some books that explained what the events in the story really meant. However, when I think about it now, I am glad not only because I am done with this confusing novel, but also I had a chance to understand the theme and the symbolisms of this kind of novel.
