I just started reading The Lord of the Flies. This book is out of the genre/style type that I usually read and I found it interesting to try to take pleasure in something new. The author of this book is William Golding. William Golding was born on September 19, 1911 and he died June 19, 1993. This author is known for this book and has been commended on his literature, his writings lived on even after his death.
Early Life
Golding went to the school his father ran. As a kid, he instantly became interested in trying to be an author. At the mere age of 12, William Golding took an attempt to write a novel. This was, however, unsuccessful. But, as you know, you learn from your mistakes and continue forward triumphantly. From this, Golding teaches us that no matter who pushes you down, you should be the one to lift yourself back up. And by doing this, you will be victorious.
Writing The Lord of The Flies
In 1954, after 21 literature declines and rejections, Golding wrote The Lord of the Flies. This was another lesson he taught us. Look at how popular and acclaimed this book is. No matter how many times an editor or a publisher knocked him and his ideas down, he was able to get back up and try again. Not only did he write what seems to be so far a good book, he also was able to teach a valuable life lesson in the process.
Other Work of William Golding
William Golding did not write only one piece. He also wrote The Double Tongue, Fire Down Below, Close Quarters, etc. His work on The Lord of the Flies is what he is best known for, however he wrote about 20 other books that were critically acclaimed. Golding, also, inspired films and wrote plays. Films such as The Lord of the Flies by: Peter Brook was a direct movie interpretation of Golding's The Lord of the Flies. Golding was involved in many plays, as well. As you can see, William Golding strives and tries to conquer all of his obstacles. By doing so, he has succeeded in enhancing his writing and completing his goal of becoming a writer.
I'm excited to get into my book and learn the crafts of Golding. I want to know why his writing is so commendable and why people have been attached to the book as they read it. I hope the Lord of the Flies is as good as I've heard!
