In Lord of the Flies the author has an extremely good representation of civilization and savagery. The meaning is so deep‚ and it’s the best way to have a book with deep meaning. As the book starts out the author shows civilised interaction between the boys. However‚ there’s one boy in particular who seems to ruin this civilised interaction.

In this poem it talks about a little girl named Sophia Burns. Sophia talks about how playing on an a boys team affects how she plays. One piece of this poem that I really enjoy is that she is the only girl on her team and if any boys are mean she will bring the best game she’s got and prove the boys wrong. Another feature that I dig about Sophia´s poem it that she really tries to tell everyone how much she enjoys hockey‚ and that even if boys are mean‚ it will effect how she plays in a positive way

Lord of the Flies was written by William Golding in 1954. Irony‚ in literature can be anything from sarcasm to a shocking plot twist that can be inconvenient to the characters toward the end. A type of irony is situational which is where something very unexpected shows up at the last minute making the outcome of the story completely different then you expected. Such as the one in Lord of the Flies that effects one special character named Simon‚ and really almost all the characters. In the story
