Tum on Lord of the flies
I've just finished chapter one this morning, and it leaved me a lot of vocabularies I don't know. This novel is a difficult one for me to read a understand everything the author wrote; however, he did a good job in his fiction. In my opinion, every characters has a unique behavior, and they act as a symbols of today's politic. For example, Jack is represented to be a person who want to be the leader and crave for power because he always order to another child. That's why I believe that this ficton is not just a funny story to read and laugh, but you have to think while you read. Reading this book is not just improving my reading skill only, but it also force me to try interpreting the real propose of the writer, and I think this is very important skill for academic learning in my future.

No, it's not a funny story.
