lord of the flies? 7
okay, so i’m not very much of a detective, but i’m really eager to help figure out some part in the ‘attics’ portion of the story, if that’s okay!
anways, i’m not sure if it’s just the late hour, or if i’m really on to something here, but it seems to me that the novel ‘lord of the flies’ by william golding could quite possibly tie into the story.
what i mean by this is i’ve found a few similarities between themes/plot in that novel and the story line of madina lake.
first of all, the main theme in lord of the flies is something along the lines of ‘it’s the people that corrupt the society, not the government or authority.’ (i’ll double check with the notes in the back) i was reading the latest post about the river people lyrics, which is when this whole connection dawned on me.
also, that book was written in the mid 1950′s, right about the time that the town of madina lake is set in. it takes place on an island, upon which the children are desperate to escape from. similarly, the town of madina lake is ‘isolated’ so they’ve said, and they’ve also mentioned that a major theme of attics is ESCAPISM. 
see the connection i’m talking about?
i reckon my final point (unless the other smart thing i was going to say slipped my mind) is that the entire book lord of the flies? yeah, it’s an allusion to the biblical garden of eden. i know they’re faaaar from religious, but you have to admit, it’s pretty coincidental, eh? although i’m not sure exactly the link between the allusion and the title ‘attics to eden’ i’m sure they’ve got something in common?
sorry if i’m going out on a limb here, but i just had that stroke of (what i thought to be) brilliance, and i had to throw it out there before i woke up tomorrow and forgot. apologies if i’m totally off-track, but i really think i’ve got something here.
i hope that helps.
edit: i forgot to mention when i touched on the themes of the novel, i think it’s got to do with the citizens of madina lake. the river people post prior to this explains it waaaay better.
ugh! i also forgot to mention that ‘scorched earth’ a military tactic used during both world wars could also have something to do with it, because in the novel there’s a nuclear war going on. sorry i keep going on about this all!
Interesting point there Hayley. I’m doing the Lord Of The Flies in my English class at school and I can very much see your point of view, and I agree with you 100%
According to my own monitoring, billions of people all over the world receive the home loans from good creditors. Thus, there is good possibilities to receive a short term loan in any country.
