The English writer of the novel Lord of the Flies, William Golding, was born in 1911 on the Cornish peninsula. Golding grew up thinking that he would grow up to be a scientist, but after two years of scientific studies at Oxford, he changed his studies from science to English literature, dedicating himself to Anglo-Saxon literature. Before the outbreak of the Second World War, he published a volume of poetry, but when war broke out he took a break from writing and joined the Royal Navy. In the space of five years, he saw everything from battles in the skies to war action beneath the great deep blue, and participated in Walcheren and D-Day. Golding ended his career in the navel as a lieutenant in command of a spaceship. After his war career ended, he began teaching and continued to write. Writing novels, plays and portraits with genres led him to become a winner of the Best Novel Award. Genres ranging from survivalist fiction, adventure, science fiction and historical fiction. The English writer William Golding even became good educational reading in many schools and universities. His first novel published in 1954, Lord of the Flies, was what helped him claim his great success. A story that brings with it an adventurist plot that reveals a symbolic plot; about society and human nature, which indeed welcomed William Golding as a best-selling author in the early 1960s and his inclusion in the Modern Library 100 Best Novels. The novel, Lord of the Flies, begins its story with a plane crashing during a war, evacuating a group of British boys to an isolated island. Ralph, a future leader, and his new friend Piggy would realize their new freedom. As they stripped off their clothes to rejoice at the thought that there were no adults.... middle of paper... leaders willing to behave like wild animals. Having demonstrated that those savage actions were acceptable, the group quickly changed their beliefs. Just because that's what their socialization told them to do. During my readings of the novel Lord of the Flies, written by William Golding. They taught me some things about myself and society. It showed me how my leadership can be easily influenced by peer pressure, just so I can maintain the power of my surroundings. Which is honestly a good thing to realize so I can work on that negative aspect of myself. During my reading, I also saw how society can change a person in the blink of an eye. One minute they're each on their own and working well together, but the next minute they're at each other's throats trying to kill each other. Reflecting how important good leadership is to sustain a new company.
