THE AUTHOR AND HIS/HER TIMES: William Golding, an honoring novelist and poet, was the author of Lord of the Flies. He was born on September 19, 1911, and he passed away on June 19, 1993. William Golding grew up in cozy house in Cornwall, England, and was greatly influenced to have an accomplished career by his father, Alec Golding, while growing up. His father was a science mastermind at a grammar school, and his chronicle awareness for rationalism rubbed off onto William. His mother, Mildred, also participated in accompanying popular movements; the women’s suffrage to be specific. Growing up, William was constantly motivated to become educated because …show more content…
Before he settled into his writing career though, William randomly went into the navy for five years. Because he was negatively impacted by thought and cause of war, his perspectives about life changed. He departed from the idea of rationalism his father had on the world, and he claimed that “man produces evil.” Writing began to be his priority, and he related his literature to his passions. He ran into a few obstacles in the beginning of his career, though. Many rejections were sent William’s way because publishers felt his writing wasn’t great. His determination though is what began his career. His first fictional novel, Lord of the Flies, was published in 1954, and it was awarded the Nobel Prize. This book revolved around human civilization. A society’s power and rules are brought to the test between morality and surviving. William’s parents played a role to the theme of the novel; their participation in public movements contributed to William’s natural perspective of Lord of the Flies. William went on an overwhelming journey as he grew up, and I can see how his writing has a relationship with him. War …show more content…
I didn’t have any difficulties with any other problems. This novel doesn’t relate to any other books I’ve read, and it’s one of the reason I liked it; it was different. This novel doesn’t really have anything I would take from it for the future, but I would still recommend others to read it. It’s a very adventurous novel, and its uniqueness will probably appeal to others. The title might not seem attracting at all, but once the reader begins the novel, they will understand the ugly truth behind it. I am definitely going to make sure my younger brother reads Lord of the Flies, and I hope my friends do
