The Lord of the Flies is a book that is different from something I had ever read before. It is third person omniscient which I don't like that much. It also has underlying themes in it which is cool. I wonder why the author made it third person and didn't make it from Ralph's point of view. One thing that surprised was when the little boy died in the fire because the boys weren't paying attention. Another thing that surprised me was how calm all the boys are acting because if I was in that situation, I would panicking.
As I was reading I noticed how the boys are handling the situation of having no adults. They are trying to build structure but are struggling. All they do is fight which I understand but then again I don't because they just need order. I wonder if the boys will every be rescued. I also noticed that most of the boys just don't care and haven't came to the realization that they are all alone on this island. They need to wake up and start learning to survive.
I don't like the point of view either. I was also surprised when the boy died in the fire!
