The "scar" that is mentioned at the beginning is the trail left behind by the plane when it crashed. The island was perfect, kind of like a garden of Eden, but the boys' arrival corrupted it and the plane crash left a scar that never healed.
This book is not long it is only 200 pages. Try reading The Odyssey or The Illiad. It is probably boring because you are used to your cell phone imagining things for you. My English class appreciated this audio version. They get tired of my voice and popcorn reading as a class. Have a great day!
My class started reading this book a week ago and I haven't even read chapter 1 and I just need to get caught up but I read at the speed of a snail. Thank you.
Summary: Chapter 1 A fair-haired boy lowers himself down some rocks toward a lagoon on a beach. At the lagoon, he encounters another boy, who is chubby, intellectual, and wears thick glasses. The fair-haired boy introduces himself as Ralph and the chubby one introduces himself as Piggy. Through their conversation, we learn that in the midst of a war, a transport plane carrying a group of English boys was shot down over the ocean. It crashed in thick jungle on a deserted island. Scattered by the wreck, the surviving boys lost each other and cannot find the pilot. Ralph and Piggy look around the beach, wondering what has become of the other boys from the plane. They discover a large, cream-colored conch shell, which Piggy realizes could be used as a kind of makeshift trumpet. He convinces Ralph to blow through the shell to find the other boys. Summoned by the blast of sound from the shell, boys start to straggle onto the beach. The oldest among them are around twelve; the youngest are around six. Among the group is a boys’ choir, dressed in black gowns and led by an older boy named Jack. They march to the beach in two parallel lines, and Jack snaps at them to stand at attention. The boys taunt Piggy and mock his appearance and nickname. The boys decide to elect a leader. The choirboys vote for Jack, but all the other boys vote for Ralph. Ralph wins the vote, although Jack clearly wants the position. To placate Jack, Ralph asks the choir to serve as the hunters for the band of boys and asks Jack to lead them. Mindful of the need to explore their new environment, Ralph chooses Jack and a choir member named Simon to explore the island, ignoring Piggy’s whining requests to be picked. The three explorers leave the meeting place and set off across the island. The prospect of exploring the island exhilarates the boys, who feel a bond forming among them as they play together in the jungle. Eventually, they reach the end of the jungle, where high, sharp rocks jut toward steep mountains. The boys climb up the side of one of the steep hills. From the peak, they can see that they are on an island with no signs of civilization. The view is stunning, and Ralph feels as though they have discovered their own land. As they travel back toward the beach, they find a wild pig caught in a tangle of vines. Jack, the newly appointed hunter, draws his knife and steps in to kill it, but hesitates, unable to bring himself to act. The pig frees itself and runs away, and Jack vows that the next time he will not flinch from the act of killing. The three boys make a long trek through dense jungle and eventually emerge near the group of boys waiting for them on the beach. Source: www.sparknotes.com/lit/flies/section1/

This book is a classic. I read it first when I was a little girl of 8, some 60 years ago. Have reread it many times, since. It's one of my favorites. I was so glad to find this since my eyes have gone bad on me and I can't read dead tree books anymore. Thank you.
@@Blorckits Dead tree books are made by chopping down a tree and turning it into paper upon which a book is printed. You killed a tree to make a book. Therefore, dead tree books. It died so you could read.
my summer assignment for going into sophmore year im cooked bc my school starts in august and the project is really long and im just starting the book 😭🙏
There are two audiobooks of Lord of the Flies on audible, even one of them is William Golding reading himself, but yours are so much better! Quality, background, reading pace, intonation - all!
My teacher only does the work in Google meets and I finish my work 3 hours before her Google meets so I'm forced to play catchup cause my teacher cant take 15 minutes out of her day to just upload the work in a power slide form.
Tip: For anyone just starting the novel(or whoever wants to) If you think the audio is too long. Listen to the novel in 1.25, 1.50, or 1.75 speed. It makes the book go way faster, but the audio is still understandable.
This is a really awesome audiobook, probably the best I've ever heard since I started during quarantine You really did a great job I'm glad I'm reading this
@@fernandoelizarraraz6114 It’s a hard one- especially without a really good teacher and you being in 6th grade. But what makes it hard, and such a good book, is that it is kindof from the children’s perspectives and the children don’t fully understand what they’re talking about either. Like they call vines creepers because that’s their understanding of it. Simon being an almost prophetic character knows things but doesn’t necessarily know how to explain them. They are kids after all
@@JedmondFish Cant wait. I get to teach this to my students for student teaching, and this is far and above the best recording I've heard! Thanks for your hard work --- hopefully my kids will appreciate the book because of it!
I lowkey can't understand the way this book was written, but it feels a lot more relaxing listening to it than actually reading it (coming from someone who loves to read physical books)
I actually enjoyed this, surprising to me because I usually don't like Audio books or books in general. And what really put the cherry on the pancake was the background sounds, made it feel more real and alive.
Thank you, my brother. I am from Iraq. We are studying this novel, and it does not seem difficult at all, but I would have liked to hear it from people concerned with this novel, and it was published by people in the original language, and to hear the words being pronounced correctly. I hope you understood me. I may not have conveyed the idea to you. In any case, I am grateful to you for your efforts as well. sound effects
Imagine, 8/11//24, its 10;35 pm, The sun was setting on the last day of summer, casting long shadows across the pages of the book that had sat, untouched, on his desk for months. All summer long, he had dodged the nagging guilt that occasionally bubbled up whenever someone mentioned their summer assignments, brushing it off with a confident grin and a shrug. Procrastination was an art form he had mastered, a dance he executed with effortless grace. While others slaved away, pacing themselves like cautious marathon runners, he reveled in the freedom of days spent doing anything but reading. Now, as the looming deadline sharpened its claws, he felt the familiar rush of adrenaline that always accompanied the eleventh hour. His friends had always marveled at his ability to pull off the impossible, to churn out essays and projects with a precision and flair that belied the frantic energy behind them. He thrived under pressure, or so he told himself. The ticking clock was his muse, the dwindling hours a challenge that brought out his best. "I work better this way," he'd brag, flipping open the book with a smirk. "The pressure fuels me, makes me stronger. It’s like a superpower.” In reality, he knew that the coming hours would be a blur of frantic note-taking, desperate skimming, and caffeine-fueled panic. But that was the thrill of it, wasn’t it? He had danced with this particular devil before, and each time, he had come out on top, victorious and just a little bit smug. Now, with the weight of the summer pressing down on him, he was ready to prove, once again, that he could beat the odds, that he could turn procrastination into a triumph.
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whomsoever believe in him shall not perish but have everlasting life, repent and believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ and he will give you true life if you follow him, for only true life is found in the son! by the the grace of the one true God!
I'm not a student listening to this for a class or anything, just someone who loves books and wanted to experience this classic. If you've tried the version that's available on audio, you know it's read by the author, and MAN is it awful. Great writer, horrendous narrator. Really annoys me that they didn't just get someone who knows how to read in an engaging way. So thank you for recording this and making it so much easier to enjoy this classic!
I love to read but when it comes to school I just can’t and I had to reread this book for school and as much as I think it’s good I couldn’t read it so this audiobook really helps

He thrived under pressure, or so he told himself. The ticking clock was his muse, the dwindling hours a challenge that brought out his best. "I work better this way," he'd brag, flipping open the book with a smirk. "The pressure fuels me, makes me stronger. It’s like a superpower.” In reality, he knew that the coming hours would be a blur of frantic note-taking, desperate skimming, and caffeine-fueled panic. But that was the thrill of it, wasn’t it?
