Libro Dos: Lord of the Flies
The next book I am reading is Lord of the Flies. So far in the book, from what I can gather ( I say this because in the beginning of the book it tells you nothing whats going on), the main character is a 12 year old named Ralph who meets a boy he has never met, who is nicknamed Piggy because he's fat, and apparently they have been in the same plane crash together. the pilot had them bail out on this uncharted, uninhabited island. Sounds to me like Swiss Family Robinson or Robinson Crusoe or my kind of adventure story. So they finally find there way out of the jungle and to the beach. Here they find a conch which they blow to summon all the other kids. Apparently conch shells are loud like horns, I didn't know that. It goes on about how they build a community and there are two "levels of order": the "littluns" and the "biguns". It is almost like Animal Farm, but without the animals and communism.

How do you like the Book Isaac? What is you opnion of this new book and or Anmial Farm? It sounds good To me.
ReplyDeleteI heard that it's a good book. Sounds like a lot of people get killed in it, and there is a lord of the flies. suspenseful.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I think that you should read the war of the worlds. It's much better and it's better!
to answer both of your questions:
ReplyDeleteI like the book very much. It has a lot more action than most classics. Animal farm and Lord of the Flies are the same. I like this one better because I can relate to a 12 year old boy better than a communistic pig. Grant: no killing, no lord of flies, and I will also read War of the Worlds.
