I am currently reading a novel called "Lord of the Flies", written by William Golding. I have not gotten very far in the book yet, but I am very interested in the way the story unfolds, which makes me want to continue reading this book. The story is very unique, in that it contains lots of symbolisms for us to discover on our own.
I enjoy reading Lord of the Flies because it tells us how the human nature is like, and how it can be changed easily according to the situation and the atmosphere. William Golding symbolizes the conch as a symbol of leadership and order, and the island that the children are stranded on is based on the Garden of Eden, from Genesis in the Bible. From symbols like these, we can draw conclusion from these evidence, and that is why this book is very interesting to read.
I liked your connection between the island in Lord of the Flies and the Garden of Eden. I also thought that you had great word choice.
