DEAR: A Wonderful Reading Experience

 As part of the "DEAR" (Drop Everything And Read) program implemented by my school, DJIS, we students have been reading for 30 mins at school on each Thursday. Through this accumulation of time spent reading, I have gained valuable insight and enjoy reading now.
 
 The book I chose was "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding. In this entertaining novel, Golding describes the struggle of a group of British boys stuck on a remote island. They try to govern themselves but fail miserably. Golding does a great job at describing each boy and his characteristics. Through reading about the boys' struggle at working together, I learned how to think responsibly and not make rash decisions. I highly recommend this novel to everybody and thank Mr.Ammar and the English department for adding such a beneficial program.
