What if Lord of the Flies was written in Ralphs POV and was filled with more tension, and gruesome scenes? Well this book is my take on the novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding. In Ralph's point of view, with even more commentary on human nature. ¨ I can't seem to recognize him anymore, my heart sinking in my chest a bit, this stranger was filled with no mercy, red painted like blood. Smeared over the etches of his cheekbones, a new person.¨ ¨He erupts in laughter, turning to an animalistic growl, his eyes crazed. His sharp canines poke wildly from his smile, the mask a new identity, hiding anyone he would have been before.¨ ¨No longer Jack.¨
