Sara Chaude Lord of The Flies Reaction Chapters 1-7

I had numerous reactions towards the book, __The Lord of The Flies.__ In my opinion the book is full of exictment and makes me never want to put the book down at night time. I would have to say my favorite character so far is Piggy because even though he isn't the best looking kid in the group of boys, he is one of the smartest. He shadows Ralph all the time, and is the one that comes up with all the ideas that Ralph presents to the group. The least favortie character of mine is Jack. It just gets me so frustrated and angry when i read about him kicking small stones at the little boys or trying to be the boss of everyone when, in my opinion, i think he has no leadership skills whatsoever. A leader is suppose to be someone nice that will make everyone stay together and do the right things. I think that Jack just wants to become the leader of the boys so that he can boss everyone around, and make them do all the work, while he gets to lounged around with the older boys. Chapter seven has been one of my favorite chapters so far because it shows the mental issue the boys might be taking on soon. It makes me wonder if later on in the chapter if they are gonna eat one of the little, six year old boys.

I can make a connection by using text to text. I once read a book called the __Canadians Island__ when i was like seventh grade. Its about a boy getting shipped off to boarding school and his plane crashing on an island before making it to the all-boys school. When the plane crashes the boy thinks he sees scary things in the woods like the small boy in the lord of the flies did, however its reallly just his head messing with him. The comparisons from this book to the lord of the flies is that both were involved with a plane crash on a deserted island with no family whatsoever with them. However unlike the boys in the lord of the flies that have ten or twelve boys together, the boy in the Canadians Island only has a strange, old black man that was the pilot of the plane. The book __Canadians Island__ and __The Lord of The Flies__ are very similar books indeed.

I think as you read more into the book, its only going to get nastier and more violent within the boys moods and actions. I think one of the boys are going to go crazy and want food so bad that they kill one of the weakinglys for food. Another prediction i have is that more boys are going to die because the monster that they think is fake, is really real, and is going to take one of the boys, and kill him brutely.
