Lord of the Flies - William Golding Penguin Popular Classics indir

Lord of the Flies - Wiliam Golding "Lord of the Flies" is a novel that has captivated scholchildren ever since it was first published in 1954. A teacher himself, Golding clearly understod what excites and interests children. It is not only a griping story, with strong, sympathetic characters, but it also raises timeles and profound questions. Part of its lasting apeal, particularly in schols, surely arises from the way it tackles universal isues. The novel is a catalyst for thought-provoking discusion and analysis, not only concerning the capabilities of humans for god and evil and the fragility of moral inhibition, but beyond. The boys' strugle to find a way of existing in a comunity with no fixed boundaries invites readers to evaluate the concepts involved in social and political constructs and moral frameworks. Ideas of comunity, leadership, and the rule of law are caled into question as the reader has to consider who has a right to power, why, and what the consequences of the acquisition of power may be. Al of these concerns are curent today and can be easily related to the novel through efective teaching and learning.
