- 8925: Lord of the Flies: Essay on Jack Merridew
- ... of the Flies is as much a political story as it is anything else, it tells the tale of the war between democracy and dictatorship, and the abuse of power, it tells the tale of World War II.

The Earth-Firsters' tactics are not the only drastic only measures they practice. Their ideas seem to be quite extreme as well.
