I don't know about seeing it online - looking at a computer screen that long might not be a good thing.\n\nHopefully, your local library would have a copy of it and then you could check it out. Either way you get to read it, you'll enjoy it.  : )

If I want a quote, I usually go into a search engine and type (for example)\n\nH.G. Wells, Time Machine, quotes\n\nOr...if you know the quote, but nothing else. Put the quote in the search. Trust me. You'll find what you need.\n\nIt's almost as if it works like magic.

"Lord of the Flies" was banned based on the notion that the book is violent and oppressive, goes against religious ideals and expresses the notion that man is by nature evil and savage.\n\nThis might help: http://www.academon.com/lib/paper/56845.html

[For whatever it's worth, I’ve tried recasting it, trying my best not to change the way you wanted to say what you wanted to say, relocating some of your ideas for a more unified presentation, better impact, all the while remaining consistent with your preference for the present tense. The paragraph breakdowns are more for consistency, flow and visual impact. Please verify your quotes; make sure they're verbatim and punctuated as they are in the book. Here goes:]\n\nFear is one of the most powerful emotions that control the way a human being acts in certain circumstances. It contributes to one’s instability and, ultimately, to irrationality.\n\nWilliam Golding’s “Lord of the Flies” is all about fear and its irrational consequences. It sheds light on that kind of fear that may not be of something physical at all. It is the irrational fear of fear itself, the big horrid “Beast of Fear” with claws, eyes, and teeth lurking inside us. It is the fear we prefer to ignore. In “Lord of the Flies,” it is the fear which leads to irrational acts.\n\nIn “Lord of the Flies,” the boys fear almost everything they see and hear on the island, assuming them to be beasts. As the novel progresses, their fear of the unknown beast becomes exceedingly powerful their attitudes towards it become increasingly irrational. Terror paralyzes their minds, leaving them too weak to face the truth about their fears. \n\nThe beast in the novel symbolizes fear flying around on the island. Fear is evident in all the boys, from the nightmares to the belief in the existence of a beast. From the moment the first littlun claims to have seen snake-monster in Chapter 2, even the hunters begin having nightmares of their own. In Chapter 5, Jack, addressing Ralph, says, “You said they dream and cry out. Now they talk not only the littluns, but also my hunters sometimes talk of a thing, a dark thing, a beast, some sort of animal.” (p. 83). Indeed, the boys’ fear of the beast becomes an increasingly important aspect of their lives. The fact that all the boys on the island are younger than thirteen greatly affects the amount of fear that control them. Their cries can only reverberate within the walls of their own nightmares.\n\nFurther, a little boy named Phil dreams of weird animals, saying, “And I was frightened…and then I saw something moving among the trees, something big and horrid.” (p. 85) His mind is so obsessed with “beasties” it simply refuses to accept the reality that it is Simon he see in the dark. As a matter of fact, imagination and fear shape their illusory description of the beast which the twins, Samneric, describe, “There were eyes, teeth, claws. The beast followed us, nearly touched me.” (p. 100) [Question: Is this the way you intended to write this part? Your original posting made them appear like sub-topics.] But beast, it was not; it was a dead parachutist.\n\nFear of the beast totally conquers their minds, making their brains too crippled to think straight. Their imaginations are so powerful, so overpowering and wild that they fail to see the fear for what it is: the beast that impels them to crime.\n\nFear so control them to the point of believing and doing anything, even trying to regain peace and freedom from fear itself by killing the beast. Thus, when Simon comes stumbling out of the dark forest while the boys are doing a victory dance, everyone surrounds him, chanting, "Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!" (p. 152) Believing him to be the beast, they poke savagely at him with their spears until the “Beast” is dead. The beast is dead, indeed, and fear has just taken an innocent life.\n\nHowever, not all the boys are too affected by fear. Ralph and Piggy struggle to be logical. \n\nWhen the topic of fear is brought up during one of their assemblies, Ralph declares boldly, “The thing is Fear can't hurt you any more than a dream. There aren't any beasts to be afrai
