Summer Review//The Lord of the Flies

I wanted to revive my old series of summer reviews. These are posts are about required reading I did over the summer. That said there is no summary or star rating of the book. However, these posts are more focused on my relationship with the book.

Summer Review: Bud, Not Buddy

I have to say that Christopher Paul Curtis wrote a decent book this time. I found that compared to The Watsons Go To Birmingham- 1963 it was a much better book with an understandable point and plot. The feature of the rules about having a better life and becoming a better liar I found very irritable that they didn't have a complete list anywhere. The fact that it was placed in the Great Depression I felt added no extra benefit to the book and it's placement in time did not really educate me. The most memorable point was probably the jazz band as that was an original feature. I found the first description of hearing the band the most true line in the entire book. The way that Bud couldn't tell which instrument was his favorite till Miss Thomas started singing showed the true power of music. 

Summer Review: The Red Badge of Courage

The Red Badge of Courage is not a memorable book. To this day I still don't really know who the characters are. I found the metaphors during battle the only thing that got my attention. The book's metaphor referenced everything in life one could think of. I found the glory of gore (Lorde reference anyone) in the book quite detailed and accurate. The feeling of being arrogant and then falling down to have face reality is a familiar feeling. We all have had to face something we thought we could conquer but then failed. Arrogance is one of the many challenges people around the world face. The great moral question posed by The Red Badge of Courage is where the appropriate line of confidence and arrogance lie and when is it okay to have a little of either.
