CritiqueLord of the Flies written by Willam Golding, is a 208 page novel, written in1954. Lord of the Flies is about a group of of young english boys whos planescrashes onto a remote island. Throught the novel the boys gradually changedfrom civilzed english boys to to small savages that need to surive. The author used many metaphors and Imagery to describe the situationsand places on the island. All the places in the island where described very well forexample 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 , fartingnoise. That line tells the reader exactly how he blew the conch and he describedhow he put he is lips on it and what sound it made. He uses very descriptivewords 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 thebook. Willam Golding also uses alliteration in this next example. This quote iswhen Jck is ready to hunt the beast.
He gave a wild whoop and leapt down tothe pale sand. Wild whoop would be alliteration and could also be consideredonomapeia. The pale sand is a metaphor beacuse it described what the sandlooked like. Willam Golding used many literary techinques in this book whichmake the book more interesting and fun to read. Lord of the Flies by Willam Golding was very interesting and fun tooread. I liked how the author described many aspects of the island and thecreatures that lived on it.
The book was very detalitled so i always new what wasgoing on and it felt like I was right there because the book is so detailed. I likedreading Lord of the Flies because it was very interesting. It described somanythings that i could imagine being next to one of the characters. Lord of TheFlies proved ot be a great adventure novel. I would recomened this book toanyone who likes to read adventure novels and peole who like a good ending inthe book.Book Reports
