Lady of the Flies?

11 January 2017: "Did they just get along and not fight?" --a student in my Adolescent Literature class, asking another student what happens in a re-telling of Lord of the Flies with girls instead of boys. I loved this response for so many reasons, but mainly because A) it made me laugh, B) it's probably what would happen, and C) it was much better than my own (internal) cynical response, wondering if they got into cat fights and pulled each others' hair. These students...they teach me, too.
