Lord of the Flies has certainly gained my reading attention lately. Even though it is a required read, it has me confused and excited about what is going on. The writer picks some interesting words to describe the setting. The most entertaining parts of the novel in my opinion are when each kid attends the meetings every day. The conversations had between them represent how incredibly hard it is to keep kids under control while in a survival situation. The common use of the phrase 'shut up,' shows how children are very rude and do not take kindly to people who disagree with them.

The way that Jack talks and acts while hunting is brought up [most of the time by Jack], he gets a crazed look in his eyes. Jack talks slightly frantically at some points and dismisses other parts of the conversation he is in. Ralph is a mediocre leader, mainly because of the way he bullies Piggy. The lack of  work put forth by most of the kids is very pathetic. This makes me worry that the leadership will take a turn for the worst and the kids will be left with break off groups and fights for food and shelter.
