I still think about Lord of the Flies and how I much just didn't like it (literature.cafe)

I still to this day don't understand the point that book served. I don't know if it was just a product of its time but I don't think a bunch of children would behave like that in the event of being stranded

I sort of hated some books like that also. Anyway, I think it was more meant to be an allegory about society than a realistic tale of something that might actually happen.

Maybe I'm just built different but if society collapsed or something I wouldn't do whatever that was

You have no idea what you'd do when you're a day away from starvation for weeks at a time.

Unless you've been there, in which case, ignore me.
