RE: GCSEs
The book i am studying for English Literature is called 'Lord of the Flies'
Lord of the Flies is a translation of Beelzebub.
Beelzebub was originally the name of a god worshipped in the Philistine City of Ekron, but later became the name people referred to the devil by.
So Lord of the Flies really means the devil and the book is about evil and stuff so it fits well.
In the book, the lord of the flies is represeted as a pig's head on a stick which is surrounded by flies.
