PIGGY APPRECIATION YESS

yk for the record, I don’t think he’s really the devil but

Just some sketches I made quickly in honor of my most recent interest. This cartoon is so cute and charming, I had to draw a little something for it.

👑🦖🎸😈 !!

sometimes i forget that lotf is a piece of classic literature that is a required reading in many parts of the globe and referenced/well known in many modern day pieces and not something i made up and play with my little friends in the computer

lord of the flies?? more like lord of the. memes or something idk

OMG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH, NOW I KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK AND MY FAVORITES (RALPHJDHWIDJS) 🙏

Lord of the Flies manuscript- an overview

Preamble:

(if you don’t care about this, I start talking about the actual manuscript under the cut. but be warned- it is very long)

So as some of you know if you’ve been following my blog, I have been wanting to go and see the original first draft of Lord of the Flies (handwritten by William Golding in a college notebook and currently held by the University of Exeter’s special collections here in the UK) for a really long time now! It took a while, but today I finally went! I’m sure a lot of you are curious about how it differs from the final book so I decided to put together a list of things I noticed. Unfortunately, I’m not allowed to quote anything from the manuscript verbatim due to copyright restrictions, but I’ll try my best to tell you what I can without getting into legal trouble (hopefully). Also, I only managed to get through the first 7 chapters before the library closed (I’m truly devastated) partly because I struggled a lot to decipher Golding’s very messy handwriting and also just because I’m not a very fast reader and I only had about 5 hours with the manuscript, so I’ll just be talking about what I’ve read so far. I plan on returning in the summer to see the rest so there will be a part 2 to this post eventually!

Also also, at the time of posting it is 3am and I am too tired to proofread this properly so apologies in advance for any mistakes.

Now, onto the part of the post you actually care about- talking about the manuscript!

Keep reading

i waz talking about this with myself on school, they r the same boys jus another universe

why do they remind me of piggy and ralph?

So far I really like the lord of the flies fandom on tumblr

I know a lot of people get mad about this, but I think it’s fun how people can be so silly about serious media like lotf

Like yess, ship the boys that are trying to kill each other, I love it

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think that’s what the story should be completely reduced to, but I just think it’s funny

Type a twelve page analysis about the Golding’s writing style. Draw Jack and Ralph holding hands. Whatever way you choose to appreciate the story is fine by me

A reworking of my sketch based on the same idea that Jack is haunted by Simon's ghost. I still want a fanfic of this idea
