I was skipping down the sidewalk, holding my mom’s hand when I noticed weird man in the alleyway. “Want some free comics?” he begrudgingly asked, and being the idiotic 6 year old I was, I let go of my mother’s hand and

Set on a tropical island during World War II, the novel begins when schoolboys from Great Britain are being flown to safety and their plane is shot down. No adults survive, and the boys are left to govern themselves and get rescued. William Golding uses symbolism in the form of the conch to represents the concept of society. The boys’

“So that is what a goblin looks like,” Erland scrunched his brow as he overlooked a group of three goblins moving through the forest. The goblins were three feet tall, about the same height as Erland and his group of friends that now camped the spot over which this particular trio of goblins marched under.
