i hated this book soooo much. as much as i admire symbolism and admire analyzing it, the repetitive use of it essentially made it lose its meaning (which i guess what the book was trying to saying about society? but it was a pain to read). the descent into "savagery" that the boys go through is portrayed through racist diction and cultural appropriation. also it's so boring im so sorry god i hate white classics, they're full of racism and awful themes about society. if you're reading this book for school, im praying for you, good luck
