Golding's heart-breaking story depicts his view of pre-adolescent boys behaving wildly, in an adult-less society. Given the tragedy leaving them stranded, allowing their imaginations to run wild, as a gang mentality develops.
The "Beast" turns out to be the disillusioned fears of the boys, under duress. Leading to societal demise.

Flowers and Shapes
Here is another coloring page that I completed the I entitled 'Flowers and Shapes' mainly using crayons and a few colored pencils. I mainly used blues, greens, along with pink, oranges. Mainly, I let the colors lead the way on this one. Please comment and I hope you are still looking and commenting on my other color art. Thank you for all comments.

I want to grow
I want to grow and I’m going to grow. I’m not going to be this version of myself anymore and you won’t know who I become. You won’t talk to her, or be by her side as she goes through life— you won’t know her. Her heart won’t even remember the small moments that’ve clung to it for so long. I’ll watch her embrace a new life that has nothing to do with you, and there won’t be a space waiting like there has been for far too long.
