Does anyone remember what happens at the end of Lord of the Flies? Going to be stranded on an island in a weeks time, and am idley contemplating likely outcomes….it must be pretty grizzly, as they made two films of it. In the one line description, it says something about reverting to savagery. And I remember something about a pig’s head on a stick. Which, coincidentally or not, is the gift I got from my friends who greeted me outside my last undergraduate exam. It was a great gesture, but quite difficult to balance the weighty skull and brain on a sharpened broomstick. Especially during the euphoric celebration following the end of 4 years of study. Or 2 years study and a bit of arsing about.
