William Golding, What Where You Thinking??

I have many things to say about The Lord of the Flies.

For one, the ending sucked. Ralph is getting chased by savages, then a naval officer comes and asks how many are on the island. That's basically the ending.

And this book has WAY too much symbolism in it! Instead of writing a fiction book, just write a freakin' philosophy book!

And then the underlying religious factor in this...ugh.
Ok, did you know that The Lord of the Flies translates into devil? Well now I do!
And there's 23 parallels between the novel character and a biblical character..and personally I don't agree with Golding's choice of novel character to portray the biblical character...but whatever....

It's snowing fairly hard outside.
Anyone else smell 2 hour delay?
