Lord Of The Flies
Critique Lord of the Flies written by Willam Golding, is a 208 page novel, written in 1954. Lord of the Flies is about a group of of young english boys who’s planes crashes onto a remote island. Throught the novel the boys gradually changed from civilzed english boys to to small savages that need to surive. The author used many metaphors and Imagery to describe the situations and places on the island. All the places in the island where described very well for example when Ralph first used the conch to call the other boys. The author says, “Ralph pursed his lips and squurted air into the shell, which emitted a low , farting noise.” That line tells the reader exactly how he blew the conch and he described how he put he is lips on it and what sound it made. He uses very descriptive words in that line and the reader feels like they are standing right next too them. the authors metaphors are also another good use of litery techinque it in the book. Willam Golding also uses alliteration in this next example. This quote is when Jck is ready to hunt the beast. “He gave a wild whoop and leapt down to the pale sand.” Wild whoop” would be alliteration and could also be considered onomapeia. The “pale sand” is a metaphor beacuse it described what the sand looked like. Willam Golding used many literary techinques in this book which make the book more interesting and fun to read. Lord of the Flies by Willam Golding was very interesting and fun too read. I liked how the author described many aspects of the island and the creatures that lived on it. The book was very detalitled so i always new what was going on and it felt like I was right there because the book is so detailed. I liked reading Lord of the Flies because it was very interesting. It described so manythings that i could imagine being next to one of the characters. Lord of The Flies proved ot be a great adventure novel. I would recomened this book to anyone who likes to read adventure novels and peole who like a good ending in the book. Words: 374
