answer:Apparently **** of the Flies is a classic, considering that it was required reading in public and private schools when I was a kid. But I consider it pure two-week-old garbage. I never found it in anyway enlightening or educational, etc. And if you’re depressed as I was when I was required to read it, well, it’s worse than two-week-old garbage. But considering what is now required reading, I suppose **** of the Flies is tame…Still, I hate it.
