Drew That One Scene from the Lord of the Flies
by William Golding
What’s it about?
It’s about a group of English schoolboys stuck on a remote tropical island after an airplane crash. Over the course of the short book, they devolve into barbarism and anarchy.
That seems simple enough.
That’s the cover story. There are layers underneath. It’s about the powerful self-destructive and competitive parts of human nature, social organisation, and the possibility that we’re all just one plane crash away from literally eating each other.
That sounds kind of dark and violent.
It’s as dark as it needs to be, although if you’ve read Game of Thrones and you think Lord of the Flies is too dark and violent, you should probably present yourself to the relevant authorities at first light.
What should I say to make people think I’ve read it?
“Civilisation is hard work.”
What should I avoid saying when trying to convince people I’ve read it?
“I’m not reading a massive book about elves and dragons.”
Should I actually read it?
Yes. It’s on countless reading lists for secondary school children all over the world because it deals with vital philosophical questions in a very accessible manner.

Jack: What? It’s true, I hate this place.
Roger: It would be kind of exciting to live through it, though.

Simon: But it’s really important!
Ralph: Simon’s right. We need to make sure we stay safe through it.
