William Golding, Author

Born in 1911, Golding was the son of an English schoolmaster, a many-talented man who believed strongly in science and rational thought. Golding often described his father's overwhelming influence on his life. The author graduated from Oxford University in 1935 and spent four years (later described by Golding as having been "wasted") writing, acting,. and producing for a next small London theater. Golding himself became schoolmaster for a year, after marrying Ann Brookfield in 1939 and before entering the British Royal Navy in 1940.

From an unknown schoolmaster in 1954, when Lord of the Flies was first published…. In 1983 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature…. Golding died of a heart attack in 1993.

29

Author’s Purpose “…finally getting the idea for Lord of the Flies after

reading a bedtime boys adventure story [The Coral Island (1857) by R.M. Ballantyne] to his small children. Golding wondered out loud to his wife whether it would be a good idea to write such a story but to let the characters "behave as they really would." His wife thought that would be a "first class idea." With that encouragement, Golding found that writing the story, the ideas for which had been germinating in his mind for some time, was simply a matter of getting it down on paper.”

Music inspired by LotF (according to wikipedia) The English heavy metal band Iron Maiden composed a song about the novel, with

the title "Lord of the Flies". The American hard rock band Aerosmith composed a song about a pimp and his

stable of women, with the title "Lord of the Thighs" which was a take off and play on Lord of the Flies.

The debut studio album, Boy, by Irish rock band U2 was loosely based on the novel's theme of childhood corruption, and the final song on the album, "Shadows and Tall Trees," takes its title from the novel's chapter of the same name. Additionally, some printings of the book's cover are similar to the cover of the album.[9]

American punk rock band Bad Religion referenced the novel in the song "1000 More Fools", from their 1988 album Suffer: "I've seen the rapture in a starving baby's eyes, Inchoate beatitude, the Lord of the Flies".

American punk rock group The Offspring referenced the title of the book on their song "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" off their latest studio effort, Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace

Printed Works Inspired by LotF (according to wikipedia) Robert A. Heinlein's Tunnel in the Sky, published in 1955, can be seen as a

rebuttal to Lord of the Flies as it concerns a group of teenagers stranded on an uninhabited planet who manage to create a functional tribal society. [7]

Stephen King has stated that the Castle Rock in Lord of the Flies was the inspiration for the town of the same name that has appeared in a number of his novels. The book itself also appears prominently in his novels Hearts in Atlantis and Cujo.[8] King's fictional town in turn inspired the name of Rob Reiner's production company, Castle Rock Entertainment.

The DC Comics series Salvation Run is an adaptation of the "Lord of the Flies" concept with all the major DC Supervillains being marooned on an Alien planet.

The young adult novel Gone, by Michael Grant, is closely related, with all of the adults and teens above 14 disappearing, leaving the rest to fend for and attempt to govern themselves.

122

Television Inspired by LotF (according to wikipedia) Lord of the Flies inspired Sunrise Animation's classic anime series Infinite

Ryvius, which follows the lives of nearly 500 teenagers stranded aboard a space battleship.

Also the "Das Bus" episode of The Simpsons is based on this book. The episode Kamp Krusty also has several elements from Lord of the Flies as well (a pig's head on a spear, kids using primitive weapons and wearing war paint and a burning effigy).

The "Club SpongeBob" episode of SpongeBob SquarePants, in which he, Patrick, and Squidward are stranded in the woods and rely on the "magic conch" for guidance.

The ABC television show Lost has also shown loose similarities to the book.

William Butler Yeats “The Second Coming” www.poets.org

Turning and turning in the widening gyre

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;Things fall apart; the centre cannot

hold;Mere anarchy is loosed upon the

world,The blood-dimmed tide is loosed,

and everywhereThe ceremony of innocence is

drowned;The best lack all conviction, while

the worstAre full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;Surely the Second Coming is at hand.The Second Coming! Hardly are those

words outWhen a vast image out of Spiritus MundiTroubles my sight: somewhere in sands of

the desertA shape with lion body and the head of a

man,A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about

itReel shadows of the indignant desert birds.The darkness drops again; but now I knowThat twenty centuries of stony sleepWere vexed to nightmare by a rocking

cradle,And what rough beast, its hour come

round at last,Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
