    1. Lord of the Flies is set in a kind of paradise on earth. Describe a location that would be paradise for you? I think paradise can’t really be achieved‚ a place where there is no evil‚ if everything was perfect‚ pretty soon people would become selfish and look for something more‚ kind of like in Adam and Eve; we want what we can’t have.
