"Linwood. Long time no see. Since that boarding school, yes? It's been years since I've seen a pretty face like yours amongst all of the rubbish. I remember you, vaguely at that.

Still collecting rocks, are we? I suppose it's better than the stacks of bones that you used to have lying around. No wonder nobody wanted to be your friend. What sort of girl collects corpses and calls it an art and a science?

I don't mean harm, Linwood. I know what you know about all of these boys. Rotten, Beckett calls them. Are you familiar? I ought to introduce you to such a dashing young man. Full of life, isn't he? The sort of person that you'd want to spend your time with. I shall take you to him if you ask, darling. Your hands deserve to be taken, your feet deserve to dance. If you have a man who puts you on a pedestal, when shall you come down? Or when you finally do, will he even love the version of you that isn't up high?

Do remember that the scarf around your neck can save a slit throat, Nancy."

"tell me jude, is what you say true? does everyone here hate me? nobody wanted to be my friend before, i guess you're right. who would want to be my friend now, if i haven't changed one bit."

tears brim in nancy's eyes. she runs back off into the woods, where jude had found her. she doesn't seem to be coming back to the beach anytime soon.

When does LoTF take place? By a history major

Hi I'm a history major who thinks way too much about historical accuracy in novels and so i wanted to talk about when lotf took place (realistically). I wrote this in one of my essays on the novel, but I'll paraphrase so I don't bore people to death.

Lord of the Flies was written in 1952 and published in 1954.

In an early version of Lord of the Flies, Piggy says to Ralph "Didn't you hear what the pilot said? About the atom bomb? They're all dead." Furthermore, at some point the boys see a crater in the forest and compare it to the crater that "a bomb" could make.

These quotes alone automatically rule out the chance of the novel taking place in the 40s, when World War II was occurring. The boys would have grown up knowing the war and war effort, but their evacuation has absolutely nothing to do with the second world war. in fact, the first atomic bomb wasn't tested until 1945, long after British schoolkids would have been evacuated for WWII since germany started bombing england in september of 1940. also germany didn't have access to atomic bombs.

why would british schoolkids evacuate? well, england and america were very close allies and not long after america detonated their bombs, the soviet union made and tested their atomic bombs. this began the cold war. america and england are allies, and england is pretty anti-communism at this time.

so the book takes place anywhere around 1947 to 1952, when the novel was being written. probably the 1950s though.

what war is it? it's the cold war. the book assumes that the cold war heated up for lack of a better term, and countries like england and probably america by association, were bombed and evacuated planes of people.

there's more! kids were mostly evacuated by train within england itself after german bombings started, so the same can only be assumed for what they'd do in a nuclear war. only a small number were sent away by plane to places like canada, australia, and anywhere close to there, so that means the boys were very special and their parents probably would have wanted them to be sent away because it was quite the opportunity!

they would have died by the way. if an atom bomb went off anywhere near the plane, they would have been incinerated on the spot. maybe that's why he decided to cut it.

would their dads have served? well, ralph's dad definitely did so it's possible. england did call on all men ages 18 to 41 to draft themselves. however, married men, especially married men with children (dependents) did not take priority (they weren't even drafted until '43!) and they took many more single and young men. so while it's likely some of their parents served, having all of their dads serve is just unrealistic historically.

this places ralph, as a 12 year old boy and one of the oldest, born anywhere between 1935 and 1942, depending on when you think the book takes place.

farewell from your local history major 🫡

The kelp turned out too similar to the background, but it’s good enough to hold my ceramic tools 😁
