Questions: Lord Of The Flies
1. Lord of the Flies is set in a kind of paradise on earth. Describe a location that would be paradise for you?
I think paradise can’t really be achieved, a place where there is no evil, if everything was perfect, pretty soon people would become selfish and look for something more, kind of like in Adam and Eve; we want what we can’t have. That’s human nature. Plus if I could have everything I ever wanted, that would be tedious, as there would be no sense of satisfaction at working for something. So I can’t think of a single place like that. the closest I could get to paradise is going back home, and seeing all my friends again.
2. Given that Lord of the Flies is a survival story, what plot elements do you expect to find?
Because
