has anyone read lord of the flies by william golding? i have to write an essay on it based upon this question:
Kinsley Amis commented that Lord of the Flies is, "terrifying and haunting." Use references from the novel to support whether or not you agree with this statement? can anyone give some help? lol i know i'm suppose to do this myself but i thought you could give me some ideas. i've got some in my head but yeh. thanks in advance.

It's terrifying in how close to reality it is (come up with some examples here) and it's haunting because it reflects our society and how it may become. Just draw lots of parallels between the book and our society, eg. like a character representing diff. ppl in our society.
