    Lord of the flies book presentation

    Step into a world where innocence crumbles, morality falters, and the raw instincts of human
    nature take control. I am Rosalie and I am Shahed. today, we would like to share our book
    presentation with you on the famous novel "Lord of the Flies" written by William Golding in 1954.
    First we will give the basic structure of the book and we will tell you what the book is about then we
    will support our opinion about this book by telling a bit more about the author and the main
    characters. We end our presentation with a brief summary of our arguments. We
    think it’s a tought-provoking and haunting novel.
    "Lord of the Flies" is set during a nuclear war and follows a group of British schoolboys stuck on a
    deserted island. As they try to survive, they slowly lose their good behavior and become trapped in a
    more savage state. The story explores the dark and base instincts that pop up when there are no rules
    or order of society. Golding expertly addresses such themes as the badness in human nature, the loss
    of innocence, the conflict between good and bad behavior, and the unsafe nature of social systems.

    William Golding, a British novelist born on September 19, 1911, studied Science and
    English at Oxford. He fought in the Royal Navy during WWII. After the war, he
    returned to teaching and writing, eventually earning the Nobel Prize in Literature.
    His most famous novel, "Lord of the Flies," remains a powerful critique of society.
    That’s why we think it’s a timeless book
    The characters in the book show different ways people act and how societies work. Ralph is the
    leader chosen by the group, and he represents rules, fairness, and thinking logically.
    Jack, Ralph's rival on the island enjoys being able to do whatever he wants and
    takes pleasure in having his own group of hunters. Piggy is the smartest boy, but
    he's also weak because he's overweight and has trouble breathing. The fighting
    between Ralph and Jack shows the struggle between having a civilized society and everything
    falling apart. This happens when Jack becomes more savage, and their group starts to break apart.

    Symbols play an important role in "Lord of the Flies." For example, the conch shell represents
    leadership and fairness at first, but its significance diminishes as the boys become more savage. The
    "beast" they fear represents their own inner darkness and fears. Moreover, the "Lord of the Flies"
    represents the evil and corruption that exists in humans.

    In conclusion, "Lord of the Flies" is a captivating and unsettling book that explores the dark side of
    human nature when people are no longer governed by society's rules. It makes us think deeply about
    how fragile civilization is, the loss of innocence, and the ongoing struggle between order and chaos.
    With its vivid storytelling and meaningful symbols, William Golding compels readers to confront
    uncomfortable truths about themselves and the world. Personally, "Lord of the Flies" is an
    exciting and timeless book that provides deep insight into human nature. It
    presents a scary scenario where innocence is gone, good and evil become unclear
    and our raw human instincts come to light
