Overview 6 Lord of the Flies
I have finnaly accomplished my reading for this book, and I must say I absolutely enjoyed.But above all it certainly left me many life lessons;violence doesnt bring ends or solutions,just more distbance,people can go to high consecuences when panic overtakes them,self-control and union in difficult situations is vitally neccessary, and many more. I was actually impacted about the final,because the end came just after one of the main character's death,which was really annoying,but just in time to safe another one. I certainly know now what I must do, if I ever get involved in something similar hahaha. This is an amazing book and recommend everyone who hasn´t had the chance to read it, to go out and get it!
Book Recomendation
My Reccomendation would be Isabel Allende´s trilogy of The City of Beasts
My opinion about this book is that it is really well redacted, it talks about the respect of cultures and the trips of an old lady for in which this time her grandson gets to form part in it,they will fase adventorous scenes and discover dark secrets kept in mens interior.
It is a combination of adventure,nature,magic,fantasy and humour.I really liked it because every moment I spent reading this book I was constantly amused and felt excited for their journey, and also because I really felt connected with Alex and Nadia relationship.
Something very imporant to know about this story is the Grandma's(old lady) path,how she is dedicated to travel to whole new different parts of the world,and for which her grandson finds that amazing chance and ends up going with her.I chose this book because it was a novel written for the understanding of teenagers, as said a strong relationhip takes a big part in the story,to which many of you will be able to, as I did.
Enjoy!

Overview 5 Lord of the Flies
I am about a few good pages away from finishing this story, and as I predicted, It slowly has been turning to chaos,The process in this story has even in one way, made me feel frightened, just to think if I could ever get involved in this kind of situation, were instead of being afraid of the wildlife,animals, poisonous plants or food, you become frightened about what your other companions may do to you in sign of anxiety or desesperation.
Everything started getting more rowdy when a so called "monster" was in the island and was going to eat one by one each of the children.So,when finally one child goes to investigate a bit this "monster" and discovers that there is nothing to worry about,he heads to the camp to share the news and hopefully make the enviornment calm down,he is killed by the determined children because he is mistaken with the monster.This makes me become more desperate about the story becaue now that a first children has fallen it only creates a combination of tension,desesperation, anxiety and feer.And every time Jakes tribe keeps hitting Ralph harder and weakening him.There is a bunch of problems and I gues there is a bigger stage to come were things will explode completely, but only passage will tell.I am enjoying this book a lot.

Overview 4
I have got to the point in my story were both seperate groups are becoming more serious about the opposing revolution.Kids in sign of desesperation are joinin to Jack's side leaving Ralph and "porky" alone on the bright side.As Jack takes advantage of the situation, Ralp looses power and control over things.I think this could probably be the worst thing to do in a scene like this because,union makes force and order,and if beeing abandoned in a lonely island is bad, what can possibly happen with kids ftting and savagely discusing over nothng?
I believe things will start to get out of order an push the kids to EXTREME limits.
Overview 3
I have advanced more each week in my reading and everytime, I just fall deeper in curiosity to finish it.I have got to the point were Ralph, the leader is noticing how the kids are not worrying enough about their daily duties and instead are being "lazy" and actingrebel about it.It makes me think wow, to control a bunch of kids that do not cooparate must be a job for a strict, patient person.Sometimes,I can deeply reflect myself with Ralph when in situations I get a school assignment that I must do with people that dont work,doesnt care and just ignores you when youre trying to help,having in mind that its your grade in game,, It just makes me go crazy and make me stop thinking.And even more when there is actually someone who is opposing against your good act,as the case of Jack and Ralph.Ralph must find the way to control his toop or everyone will start to do whatever they want, whenever and this can turn to a huge dissorder!
Overview 2 Lord of the Flies
Till now i am enjoying my book because I think its really creative and entertaining how these kids find ways to create sustainable and vital resources;how they started from finding their main water source,a lake, to hunting and cutting the flesh of a wild pig for dinner.Sometimes, I picture myself during the story,What would I do,If I were them?,How would I react?Would I survive?
It definitely would be a challenge.
I would like to add that i am surprised how these boys of ages from 12-15 can be really noisy,uncontrolable and not mature enough to even affront the atual consequences,I think having the task to be the boss or the mediador can be a tough job,even for Ralph.
