CHAPTER6 connection

At the beginning of this chapter,we were told that as the boys sleep,military airplanes battle fiercely above the island.During the battle,a parachutist drifts down from the sky onto the island,dead.The air battle and dead parachutist remind us of the larger setting of LORD OF THE FLIES:though the boys lead an isolated life on the island,we know that a bloody war is being waged elsewhere in the world--a war that apparently is a terrible holocaust.

This remind me that though we are living a happy and peaceful life,there are still many commotions and terrors in many other places all over the world.Just as the Virginia shooting which happened a week ago. When we were having our classes safe at school, 32students were killed in Virginia which is not far away from here. When we are eating delicious food, thousands of poor children may suffering from the starvation.One of the Chinese maxim said:''think os danger in times of peace."
