Question 7 *Lord of the Flies*

Are there any settings in this novel which you have found to be beautiful? or disturbing? or memorable? Describe these settings and comment on why they were meaningful to you.


Most memorable settings to me were that they were staying in uninhabited island and castle. Uninhabited Island is the land that people always scared about so it makes up the thrilled mood. Uninhabited Island is that land contains 0 people in the land. Therefore, the boys were creating new world with their evil or good human natures. The boys have finally burned the island with their cruelty. These settings were not only memorable, castle was disturbing. Castle makes cloudiness mood with making them fearful.Staying in uninhabited island is also beautiful because as I mentioned before, I can make my own world with my individual character.An uninhabited island is memorable to me because it could be compared with planet Earth because Earth is also the creation that has been made by people. Therefore, setting shows that the novel Lord of the Flies has deep relationship with our real world. Earth and an uninhabited island were both, in the beginning, pure. Pure land has polluted or has changed for beautiful land. However, human nature is changing purity. Usually, those changes are polluting the land because of human’s selfish hearts. This novel made me to regret in many ways. I have regretted that I was being so rude to the earth. Earth should be protected by human who lives on the land but actually human does not feel thankful for the earth. And we do not also feel the beauty of the earth. So, from now on we should protect earth with our heated heart and we should also feel the thankful for the land that we live on.

It is interesting how you refer to the uninhabited island as a place that reflects who the boys are. It is so true. The boys made their own rules and decided how to live their lives. There was no media or people telling them what was right or wrong. Everything they did was their own decision and what they chose was right for them.
It makes sense how the Earth is now polluted because of humans. Human nature destroys more than it creates. The only way the boys could go was downhill. They didn't improve but they gradually became more and more corupt, which revealed who they were: humans.
