We had to read this for high school, also clockwork orange, now we are reading one flew over the cucko nest I AM 18, I’m a high school senior

Simon IS quite a similar character to Fluttershy, and this IS how he met his fate.
One would wonder if Ponies share “man’s essential illness”. If all ponies harbor an inherent evil, as Lord of the Flies demonstrates humans do. (I’m so pissed I missed a Lord of the Flies discussion!!)

That’s where irony comes into play. The kids are destroying each other, and you think that they are just insane for doing so. The reality is that the adults are doing the exact same- in the form of a war.
@Zennistrad
I think you’re missing the point of the story. At the end the Navy Officer comes to save these savage little fucks… but the question is, whos there to save the Officer and his ship/country from the nuclear war that they’re in?
It’s 2014, any book reference is automatically obscure now.
Reference a pre-2000 book that is not the Bible or Harry Potter and you’re downright Epicurean.
I really liked this book. People always say children are innocent, but my experience with them as a child myself proved otherwise. Kids, simply put, are assholes, and they spend the better part of their childhood learning how to not be assholes.

*nods quickly* That’s right, they don’t.
I would think ponies would not share our “inherent evil”. I’ve seen few signs of human-like evil in Equestria.
OH WAIT, it changes as she goes from left to right, still in the foreground!
Damn. I didn’t realize that.
I hope the version from when she’s on the left is the usual one, but I have a feeling it’s not. x.x
Yeah.
That annoys me.
When she’s in the foreground there, her mane isn’t a consistent rainbow, no matter which way you look at it! D:
Not this world! *hides in Equestria, away from all the crazy humans*

Nuuuuuuuu, ponies are inherently good! ;-;

PLEDGE!!!!!!
It’s called high school required reading. It makes you learn that authors are crazy and that the world is insane.
Bucking humans.
I wash my hooves of this.

Curse you high school required reading.
