Interpretation Toward Books William Golding's Lord of the Flies (Bloom's Notes)
I read Lord of the Flies few days ago and felt the need for further discussions written about it. I found this book, a compilation of essays by notable authors. I must say that was a good decision on my part. I could never have appreciated Lord of the Flies , the Novel, it’s literally interpretations and deeper meanings in Goulding’s intent, the way I do now. I think anyone going through this text will see the necessity for critical analysis of literary stories for deepening the understanding of interested readers. Highly recommended.Describe Books To William Golding's Lord of the Flies (Bloom's Notes)

Revisiting books seems to be my 2010 pattern. Each one so far has been a wonderful surprise and this one is no exception. The forward by the author is not to be missed. I don't remember (from highschool) the character Simon at all - and this time, he really popped out at me. I found myself physically tense in the chase scenes - it's just a great read.Harold Bloom was an American literary critic and the Sterling Professor of Humanities at Yale University. Since the publication of his first book in 1959, Bloom has written more than forty books of literary criticism, several books discussing religion, and one novel. He edited hundreds of anthologies.
This book was one of my favorites in high school, and since picking it up again just a week ago, it has again stolen my dark heart. Children, fear, and social structure run rampant in this symbolically enriched novel by William Golding. As Ralph, Piggy, Simon, and Samneric strive to maintain order and civility, the rest of the boys give in to the natural darkness within us all, and the eternal battle between good and evil rages between these isolated youths on this deserted jungle island.

For anyone who loves to read about man and what is going to happen to if they were in this situation, they'd love it. The story is based on human nature and a rivalry between human greed and chivalry. Situation: a group of young English boys have crash landed on an island. Question: without any superiors around, how will these young men survive on the island? The story line is a bit depressing but quite fascinating as you think about how you would react if you too were in the story.
Found a couple of criticisms I can use with my high school students.
Excellent commentary on one view of the nature of man.
