Talk:Lord of the Flies

[edit] General Question

It is a great debatable question as to how long the boys spent on this island. If anyone has any thoughts, or general guesses, please leave some here.

>>I don't know about how long. However, I do know that the story did not take place during WWI or II. The author's opinions and ideas may have stemmed from his experiences in WWII, but at the time of his writing LotF it was supposed to be futuristic.

>> I agree with the point made above. I would guess it was written shortly after the stories about WWII were told. Golding probably used these stories to help further his thoughts and ideas.

[edit] Potential Copyright violation

User:Kernigh pointed out that the material on this page fails a google test. That may be true, but I'm thinking that instead of failing because the content was copyied from elsewhere, this is a failed test because many other sites are mirroring Wikibooks material and doing so illegally, unless they have also been granted copyright permission all of the users, including anonymous users (there are many for this Wikibook) who have contributed.

In short, by going over the history one edit at a time, I fail to see how this can possibly be a copyright violation by Wikibooks. Instead, it needs to be turned over to the Wikimedia legal team to have some real fun in terms of GFDL violations and other fun stuff that should be happening to people who abuse Wikibooks content.

Perhaps some minor content needs to be culled, but not this whole wikibook. --Rob Horning 03:11, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

On much futher review and really digging deep into the edit history, this edit is likely to be a copyright violation from an external source. Most of the rest of this Wikibook seems to have been generated a few sentances at a time, and typical of most Wikimedia development. I'm surprised with how many people have subsequently visted this page havn't caught this earlier. --Rob Horning 04:08, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
