Self-government is so easy even children can do it... on an island...alone. Except.
This little Piggy never came home. 'Simon says' can never happen again and no Herod-ic handwashing can cleanse them from group violence.
With Ralph, we weep for the end of innocence and the darkness of Man's heart.

Doctor Who: Fans Not Happy.
Doctor Who is either something you like or not. If you don't like it then you will never really understand the stories. If you like it in sci-fi terms its been the best thing since sliced bread (although some Trekkies might disagree). The Doctor with two hearts is a time-space travelling alien. His race is humanoid and their home world is the planet Gallifrey. The Time Lords the Doctor's people, are masters of space and time, hence their name. The Doctor though when it comes to his people has always been a bit of a maverick and loner. Much, to the displeasure of his people. His greatest enemy known as 'The Master' is also a renegade Time Lord who as opposed to the Doctor goes around the universe causing nothing but mayhem. Two of the Doctor's greatest enemies are the Cybermen and the Daleks.

Beautiful. I know the content but another classic I’m yet to read! 😊
Spectacular superb critique!!!
Phenomenal entry!
I read the book and saw the movie in school. Fun times
I've not read this but your review was very thought provoking!
I have never actually read the book, but the message seems so important!
A book everyone should read. Glad you chose this to critique, It was perfect.
Said the fly to the flea in the flue, "This is gonna get messy!"
Did not read it until my 30s came around. Golding's best work by far, and I thank you for this!
Excellent!! I feel like this is a critique of a critique, which is very meta. My understanding is that the book at least is a critique of government. But I only ever watched the movie, when I was much too young to do so
Excellent critique.
Dayum, as Paul says we 'muricans say! Awesome critique, backed by one of my favorite Don Henley songs! Great job, Judey!
Well done, a very poetic take. This book traumatized me a bit in high school…of course, high school seemed to be the time of introducing us to books meant to traumatize us.
Dayum. As some Americans say. This is pure dead brilliant, as Glaswegians say. I say, Dayum, this is pure dead brilliant, because...reasons. Well done, Judey!
