[stylist] What I've been reading- Lord of the Flies

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Well, it's not "children" reading them but teens. Having been one of the
many who read Lord of the Flies in high school, I don't see any reason
why it would be inappropriate reading for that age level especially
considering it's a young adult novel.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

>From my recollection, and someone can correct me if I'm wrong, there is
really no difference between the two books.  Lord of the Flies was just
as 
disturbing to me.  I'm not sure why schools insist children read it
either. 
I get the social piece of both and I do kind of understand the purpose
for 
placing them in the curriculum but, ugh.
