I write books  :-)  Even though they are usually fiction, they all have messages.  They all teach and make people think (hopefully!), in order to make people's lives more enriched and in turn, the world.  (Charyl.blogspot.com)

It is a work of fiction.  As with most fiction, it is based upon some fact, some myth, and some imagination.  It presents some interesting ideas and certainly has generated worldwide discussion and controversy, which is great for the author - certainly boosts sales. \n\nThe book itself was a disappointment considering all the hype - just a good read, not awesome.  Though I will go see the movie, or rent it later, I'm not expecting it to be spectacular - the book wasn't, so the movie wouldn't usually be better than the book. \n\nAs to the ideas presented, I take no particular stand on those.  The Catholic Church certainly can be prone to secrets, and in Jesus' day it would have been very unusual, even somewhat unacceptable, for a man of his age to be unmarried.

i think maybe for the movie version the creaters or the producers cut out some of the book's version & replaced the cut off stuff with other things or they could've added more things that weren't in the book\nmy advice is watch the movie version and read the book & if u need help doing that try google or amazon

It's a pretty dark book, in its theme of imprisonment. It's probably a good book to do a report on though because there are a lot of good literary themes and devices. Also it's a classic - go for it.

I don't have a copy of it here but I would like to remind you - and the rest of the ummah worldwide - that it was a work of _fiction_! Like the DaVinci Code. I've read almost every fictional thing Rushdie has written and he never just sticks in sotto voce comments that are 'Rushdie's idea'. So you'll find that this comment is also put in the mouth of a fictional character.\n\nReally! You need to learn the difference between fiction and non-fiction! Check Wikipedia or something.

This book is indeed permeated with symbols.If you want ,W Golding uses Robinson Crusoe's Myth but in a reversed variant:to be more specific if Daniel Defoe wants to show the way from primitivism to civilisation,W Golding points to the fact that human beings can easily turn back fom civilisation to primitivism.If you read the book you can see the boys spliting into 2 groups :the one led by Ralph and the other led by Jack.While one group enjoy order and discipline and always want to keep the fire burning so as to be finally rescued,the other group want to rule by fear and terror ,they like to go hunting and paint their faces!Let's take things in turn:The fire is a symbol of hope(because this is the only way they can be seen from the island)When the other boys steal the fire is because they have been transformed by the forces of the evil inside themselves,they have been guided by the primitive instincts inside them.Then we have the conch or that shell that Simon is going to carry whenever there's a meeting on the beach.It's a symbol of order and respect for the one who's talking(they could talk only if they touched the conch showing they have an opinion referring to that problem in discussion)Then Simon is wearing glasses which a symbol ,too,It stands for wisdom and intellingence and for civilised world with rules and obligations.Simon agrees that the fire should burn all the time on the island but he's bullied by the rough boys who are rebelling against order.While doing this they have steps behind to primitivism.So they go hunting wild pigs and invent stories about a creature on the island just to scare the others.The fact that they paint their faces like the savages  shows that they run away from who they are,they want to hide their true identity so they can be free to do what they want :fight,hunt,steal and even kill!\nThe pig's head put in a stick in the middle of the forest is in fact the lord of the flies,i.e the lord of terror,of evil forces lying in human beings.It';s symbolical for the bad boys on the island and it's opposite the conch .\nW.Golding knows very well the psychology of kids.He uses a very simple topic but he finally manages to reach complex things in this book which is part of metafiction literature.\nHope you understood something and if you didn't read the book ,please find some time and do it ...it's magnificent!

I've posted a couple of URLs for your reference, and while I was looking found that it is the subject fiction for several Honors English classes and college level thesis themes.  You might try searching on the author,  Susan Carol McCarthy, for additional analysis. \n  To discuss chapter themes it looks like you are really going to have to use your imagination and deductive reasoning, which is a great way to exercise your brain!

It's controversial by it's very nature.  However, the book is a piece of fiction, the second in a 3 book fiction series.  It's based upon some real theories perhaps, and it does make people think, but nonetheless it is still fiction.\n\nFor more details, check wikipedia; there's a bit of info about the book.

I can really tell that you read the book.  Especially since you called him "Tim Robinson" instead of "Tom Robinson" (this is correct).  I do have one really good idea: READ THE BOOK.

I suspect you are referring to Nostradamus's collected works that some claim are prophetic.\n\nIf so, the idea really isn't all that sound.  The quatrains (verses) in the book are very vague, and with a little imagination can be interpreted to mean almost anything.  You would have as much luck telling the future from the Yellow Pages as you would from Nostradamus.
