  1. This past May, The Guardian published an article that relates the story of six *real* boys who became stranded alone on a deserted island in the late 1970s: The Real Lord of the Flies. My students were grateful to learn that although Golding's vision of humanity is dark, there exists the hope that we can rise above our cruelty to cooperate and survive.

  2. Yes! I read that article. Amazing! Golding was not, perhaps, the best judge of proper human behavior... :)
