LORD OF THE FLIES
William Golding
Character Changes:
Piggy doesn't really change throughout the book or the movie. He was tragically killed by a rock that was thrown off the cliff and landed on his head.
WHAT WAS THE ISLAND LIKE?
"The beach was interrupted abruptly by the square motif of the landscape; a great platform of pink granite thrust up uncompromisingly through forest and terrace and sand and lagoon to make a raised jetty for feet high" (pg.12).
Theme
Rules are important because without them the world would be complete chaos. "Without rules society would fall apart, crimes would be committed everywhere all the time" (Unknown).
William Golding
"In September 1953, after many rejections from other publishers, Golding sent a manuscript to Faber & Faber and was initially rejected by their reader. His book however was championed by Charles Monteith, a new editor at the firm. Monteith asked for some changes to the text and the novel was published in September 1954 as Lord of the Flies" (Unknown).
