entry # 6

Are there are any current situations in the world that relate to the novel? What are they, and how do they relate? Does the novel shed any light on how current situations could be resolved or “fixed”?

There are many situations in the world that relate to the novel such as the sex slave trade, Rwanda, and Terrorism. People have beasties, or the darkness, in their heart like the children on the island. They have choices to do better just like Piggy chose to be better. The novel shows us that everyone have right to speak, to hold the conch. It’s about fairness. If people can find the way to speak rather than fight things might get better.

Ummm,, I I yhink about this novel is different. These children and the people who are related with poorness or sexslavery are different. The people in slavery and merical problem, that means they don't have freedom + money and food to live on. But these children in the inhibitat island, they are having problem wth conflicts between the ideal life and primitive life.
