This purple prose is so annoying to read. Five long sentences to describe how beautiful sunshine is. It doesn't add atmosphere, it's just annoying.

Did Jack die at the end of the book? When the boys arrive at the beach he isn't noted as present. I also find it strange that he doesn't speak up against Ralph or say anything.

>"Perhaps..." Ralph thought "the real Lord of the Flies were the friends we killed along the way"

so did they get away with murder?

This bad boy did me wonders in high school

>Golding’s thought provoking novel was written and published as the world was still remembering the horrors of the Second World War and many parts and components of the novel can be related to the Second World War, specifically Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Regime. Many comparisons can be made between Lord of the Flies and the events that occurred in Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Regime. The group of choir boys bossed by Jack Merridew can be compared to the brutal and intimidating Nazi police force the Gestapo. The character Jack Merridew himself can be compared to the father of Nazi Germany Adolf Hitler because both gained support through using fear. Dehumanization is also present in the form of young Piggy and the Jewish People is Lord of the Flies and Hitler's Nazi regime respectively.
Thoughts?
