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 is terrifying and haunting. Basically, being on the Island turned GREAT kids into kids who were willing to do ANYTHING because they were desperate. Kids killed kids. They were forced to kill animals because of food. They lost the innocence that all kids have because of those things. It's definitely disturbing. I mean, did you read the end?! how much worse can kids get? It's not terrifying just because of what they did physically, but how they are emotionally. They're not even kids anymore. They crave power, control, and flock to evil because being on the island drove them insane. |
