I liked all of the violence and such in LOTF, actually. I'm also into horror books and whatnot, so I liked how disturbing it was. I had to read it for english, too, but a lot of my friends were in that class, and we all enjoyed it. =3

The book does have a symbolic meaning. It was written shortly after The Great War and showed how people can act when they are put in extreme conditions. It is supposed to show how the human talks about manners and are very pretencious but really we are animals. The boys actions on the dessert Island became savage just like soldiers actons on a warfield.

Not every book has to be freakishy happy.
Lord of the Flies is one of my favorite books ever.
It's disgusting, distrubing and leaves in you the impression of the true nature of mankind.

I hated reading it in school and listening to my peers massacre the symbolize. All of them, when asked, stated that the Lord of the Flies was a pig head on a stick.

None of them understood the symbolism.
