[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lord of the Flies was great. [/quote] There was a real story of a group of boys who were shipwrecked alone on an island for months. They built an effective cooperative society. [/quote] I remember that! That’s right. I think Golding’s representation of how they would act was exaggerated, but I think he used that to carry his various themes. In any case I think it’s not considered contemporary so doesn’t answer the OPs question. But I recall reading that many many years ago. I also remember, vividly, reading C.S. Lewis’s “Out of the Silent Planet” around the same time. Windows to my childhood room open. A fresh autumn breeze puffing through my curtains on occasion and I secretly chewed tobacco (!!) reading until sometimes 3am on school nights! Thanks for the memories. [/quote]
