I Get Lost in All the Details

     Hey y'all! I'm on my third book lord of the Flies by William Golding. In my opinion, it's a difficult read because I get lost in all the details about everything. I havn't been motivated at all to read it outside of class because I don't understand what's going on half the time. Reading 15 minutes and 14 pages per day is what I have accomplished theses few weeks. So I've already read about 1/3 of this book. From what I read and understood, the story is very adventurous and at the same time full of fear of what's going to happen next. This is my least favorite book that I've read so far, but I will take it as a challenge to strenghthen and excell in my weaknesses. I havn't decided the next book that I'm going read, but I know that it will be off the AP list.
     The one quote that stood out to me most was " The thing is - fear can't hurt you anymore than a dream" because it's so true and is appliable to our own lives. The only way to protect yourself from being injured from fear is to face it courageously, otherwise it hurt you if you let it grow. This quote was placed in a critical moment in the book when fear was in every character's mind. I was reminded of this one movie that I watched where a man had been stranded on a island as well. The fear he had of not surviving almost destroyed him, but towards the end of the movie he let the fear fall to ground to be trampled on and he kept on moving forward until he got rescued. If I were at least one of the characters in Lord of the Flies, I would of gone crazy because I would of let the fear of not surviving the beast eat me psychologically without knowing it. I would only be able to face my fears if I actually had courage. I'm not sure if all of the characters in William Golding's novel will be haunted by the fear of being killed by the beast or if they will actually will be killed by the beast. Hopefully all goes well.
