Why are the children acting so un-human? Who is the chief? What’s going to happen next? This book, __//The Lord of The Flies//__, is very exciting. When ever

I sit down and read I always find myself shocked by what the boys do and wrapped up in the suspenseful pages filled with discovery, angry, sorrow, and joy. So far in

the book, Ralph is my favorite character. He is always so orderly, caring, alert, and very involved in trying to help all the other boys stay clam, have shelter, and get

rescued. There were only two instants where I didn’t like Ralph, when he blew Piggy’s secret and when he acted out with all the other boys in a game of trying to

“pretend” kill Robert. I think Ralph and the other boys took part in this blood thirsty game because they felt power and joy in trying to kill something, even if it was

pretend. I think they all got caught up in the excitement of the game and went wild. Next, I feel like the boys are all acting more and more as Jack, with the savage

want to kill and become rambunctious. This is why I wonder whether Ralph is chief anymore, in the minds of the boys, or weather they’d rather fallow the power

hungry, Jack. __//The Lord of The Flies//__ is very similar to the movie, __//Children of The Corn//__. In the movie, there are a bunch of kids in a town that has no adults, just how in

__LOTF__ how there are a bunch of kids on and island with no adults. Also, in the movie, there is this one leader named Issac, he is an evil little, hell bent, boy that turns

all the children in the town into crazy savages, just how in __LOTF__ Jack turned all the boys into blood craving, wild-childs, looking for things to kill. I strongly dislike Jack!

I think he is a horrible, dark, child who only wants to cause harm and chaos. Unfortunately, I predict that all the boys will leave Ralph’s side and fallow Jack as their

leader. I fear, if my prediction is correct, that things on this tropical island will become worse and worse for all the boys, especially Ralph and Piggy.
