Lord of The Flies

The Lord of the Flies is a publication of human origin, an allegorical novel written in 1954 in the United Kingdom, Earth. It discusses how culture created by man fails and how man shall always turn to barbarism, using parallels of a group of school-boys stuck on a deserted island who unsuccessfully try to govern themselves and consequently have disastrous results.

Senior Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez and Kurt-051 had both read the book some time before beginning the training of the SPARTAN-III soldiers. Kurt feared that the results of training hundreds of child soldiers would be similarly disasterous, but Mendez disagreed, believing Kurt would provide the leadership to make the SPARTAN-IIIs sucessful.
