I don't think the ending was justified enough because of all the build up that lead to the moment. The whole book has been becoming darker as it went on and to have a cliche ending of getting saved has little meaning. The fire was ironic that Ralph was trying to control a fire to get saved, although it never happened. Jack on the other hand didn't have intentions to get saved and lit an out of control fire to snuff Ralph out and is what got them saved.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought the ending felt rushed and put together because there wasn't enough detail. I also thought the ending was very predictable and I thought it wasn't that exciting.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought the ending was very cliche and I predicted it was going to end like that from the beginning. I didn’t like the ending because it was boring and I would’ve liked a big plot twist.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the ending of the book was not detailed enough of them getting recused and I think they should continue with being recused of them leaving the island. It happened too quickly to where it just got straight to the point and with no details of what actually happened after they got recused.

Question: What did you think of the ending? Did you like it? Why or why not?
Answer: I think the way that the book ended was a good way to end it. I did like the ending. At the end the boys finally get to feel a sense of relief. We get to see the way that Ralph truly felt about Piggy. Ralph weeps because his good and wise friend, Piggy didn't manage to escape.

# data[].attributes.body
I think I somewhat liked the ending because someone finally saw the smoke and they got rescued. I'm really disappointed about Simon and Piggy dying. Something else, the military man just came out of nowhere which honestly, I think it could be viewed as it was all an "experiment". Like after all that, the man comes out of nowhere and rescues them. At the end, Ralph was alone. Even though the twins weren't against Ralph and still helped him, they were still in Jack's group.

# data[].attributes.body
The ending more or less went how I predicted. Ralph definitely survived, and were rescued by officers, although not in the way I predicted. I did think Simon was not going to survive, due to him telling Ralph that he will go home, and not we. I did not expect that Piggy would die.

The ending seemed to rushed? but it was good overall. I honestly thought the Lord of the Flies would kill them off, but only made them follow him. I also thought that they would make up and work together and find a way to survive with the Lord of the Flies there and also find a way to get rescued.

# data[].attributes.body
the ending was ok i would of likes a more solo one not a a sad one.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked the ending because it was very similar to that what I thought and I really enjoyed reading this book, they were saved by a man. It could be more exciting but I still like this ending. It was very hard to survive, they could be died all with Ralph. they were trying to kill each other.

# data[].attributes.body
I honestly didn't think the book was going to end this way, I thought there was going to be a bit more difficulty than there was because after many times of Ralph setting up a fire, why to they barely see it now? and even before that they still were getting further and further into the forest and being outside with no adult and supervision, I don't think it should've been that easy for him to pop up and notice they were there.
I feel like the real Ralph came out at the end and everything came out that he was holding in and dealing with, and with the questions the officer was asking was like you've been waiting this whole time jus to come get them.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked some of the ending. I liked how Ralph was fighting and struggling to survive. I liked how Golding made Ralph the chief to being what they are hunting. I did not really like how they were saved. Golding should have written it out a little more slowly.

# data[].attributes.body
I do like the ending, though not everything about it was something I enjoyed. I wish that they had more of a discussion with each other, Ralph and Jack, and that Ralph would have the chance to explain what had happened to Piggy and the others to the naval officer. I do agree to the others when they said that they had such a quick ending.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the ending was unsatisfying, although I dislike it I am glad they found that closure of coming back in the real world. I was actually confused I thought it was a reality show gone too far when he said “you guys could’ve put on a better show” but overall I think it could of done a better ending

# data[].attributes.body
The contrast would be that I thought only Ralph was going to survive but when I read it, I wonder why the other boys where saved. I believe that Ralph should have said it was only him on the island left and that no one else lived because they were being mean and hunting him.

# data[].attributes.body
I felt like ending could have been better. The ending was okay, like a classmate said they could have had more chapters made. All of a sudden an officer appeared instead of just like slowly foreshadowing that he was going to appear.

# data[].attributes.body
When it came down to the ending, I didn't like it but I also didn't hate it either. I feel like it could have been pushed out more and not just thrown at us the way it was. It was very confusing.

# data[].attributes.body
At the end, I was surprised that the boys were rescued. If the fire hadn't been started in the first place, my theory would be correct. My theory was incorrect because I never expected for a forest fire to be started but without that fire they would never gotten rescued.

# data[].attributes.body
The ending was definitely not what I expected.I don’t now exactly how I feel about it but I do think that they ending could have been a little bit better because it felt rushed and the ending could have had more to it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the significance of the ending shows how far gone the boys were from their original innocence. At the last page of chapter 12 it states that Ralph wept for their loss of innocence, which can show the reader how far humans can corrupt themselves without order.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought the ending was a bit surprising, Ralph has his own moment at the end and jacks tribe tried to kill him which made me surprised overall. I liked it for the fact ralph had his moment and he survived and he got saved. It also shows they were all refiled.

# data[].attributes.body
The ending does not meet up with my predictions as I thought that Ralph would have gotten killed but he got saved last moment although was surrounded by everyone so it changed up how I thought it would have ended.

# data[].attributes.body
I predict that Jack and his tribe will kill Ralph and Piggy and then each other. Jack already seems like he's teetering on the edge of savagery. The slightest nudge and he's gone. They've killed pigs and Simon so the feeling of having killed a living, breathing specimen has been engraved into their brains and hands. What stops them from deciding to kill Ralph or Piggy? What will stop them from killing each other?

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that Ralph will be the last on standing and Piggy will die. In the book it can be seen that the lord of the flies represents reckless thoughts. The lord of the flies is dead pig so in a way it could symbolize that Reckless thoughts will lead to the end of survival. Lately, Ralph has been very rational and has kept to his own, his tribe is his main priority. However, Piggy has been more confrontational, he is not as scared to insult or tell off Jack and now that Jack has become very violent, it is not rational to combat him. Which could mean that Piggy will possible die.

# data[].attributes.body
I predict that the boys will be saved in chapter 12 the boys will be saved since a ship passed them earlier in the book. I also predict that jack will force the boys to kill one of them.

# data[].attributes.body
I predict that Sam and Eric would be forced to join Jack and his tribe. I think this because in chapter 11 it is seen that Jack and the choir slightly intimidate them. I also think that they might get rescued by Ralph's dad, but not before losing all civilization.

# data[].attributes.body
I predict that Ralph and his crew are going to eventually surrender to Jack and his team. Jack has built a team by intimidation. There has been more and more conflict between Jack and Ralph, and I feel that Ralph is going to back down and want to get on his good side. After seeing what happened to Simon, Ralph has been more cautious around Jack.

# data[].attributes.body
My theory is that the boy will end it with killing each other off because of the conflict between leaders and I think you can make a lot of connections to WWll here because there seems to be a direct superpower against a no power country kind of Jack is already thirsty to rule and thirsty to attack Ralph

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think the boys will get off the island because they have had many chances to maybe have gotten rescued but they messed those up because they were caught up on the fact that they needed to hunt and find food or they were arguing with each other because they weren't doing something right. Maybe if they would've been more consistent with their plan from the start of the story they could've been rescued a long time ago.

# data[].attributes.body
My theory was that the boys will kill each other off because there is rift between the boys. As we see Jack is already attacking Ralph's gang.

# data[].attributes.body
I predict that Jacks group will kill of the rest of Ralphs group and possibly even eat them. I believe that they might eat them because they have lost their sanity so much to the point where they don't seem phased of the idea of blood or anyone dying at this point.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that they might just stay stuck there. I believe in this because of how not mature they. They also have missed their opportunities to get rescued. They seem to be more focused on their conflict between themselves and on the island, than being rescued like in the beginning.

# data[].attributes.body
I predict that the boy in the end will revert back to their primitive ways because of all the hunting they are doing this is kicking in the instincts of their ancestor. Also, the killing of the pig and taking parts of it to sacrifice it is an example of this.

# data[].attributes.body
The specific patterns that we found when we were theorizing was death with either ralph and piggy, This kind of makes since because piggy is constantly picked on and ralph is the one who picks on, with these two combinations we know that death would be coming to one of them, I feel like piggy would be the one.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that not all the characters are going to all die one by one. I think that some are still going to continue being rescued and build the fire and keep going even though they have seen others die. So even though what happened it may make them want to try harder to keep trying on getting rescued.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Ralph is going to kill himself or get killed. I'm leaning more towards killing himself because with everything going on, I think it's going to be too much for him to handle. He's already been through a lot and with most of the boys going to Jack's group, he's already kind of given up. Piggy died so I think that's really going to make him go insane. I agree with Anna because she said that Ralph was and would be going through a lot of stress with the events.

# data[].attributes.body
Response:
I agree with Ana Maria's theory. As for now, Ralph seems to be the most rational of all of them, so he may be the only one to survive. He may be able to survive because his mindset has changed.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think everyone going to start kill each other but i think when they are found they are mentally going to be away but all the deaths that happen so far wasn't to pacifically kill that person more like a accident.

My prediction is that the boys will all slowly die by the end of the book I think this because of Golding's current writing in chapters 10 and 11 Piggy and Simon have already been killed off, so it's not hard to believe that he can do that to the other boys. They have all become more and more savage as well, this is why I think the group will all slowly die. Either from killing each other or just going insane like Simion.

# data[].attributes.body
Back when we first started the book many people made the prediction that Jack and Ralph were always going to be a power struggle and as the book went on that theory was slowly being more and more supported. This power struggle might influence the way we see the ending or the way we think about the characters at the end.

# data[].attributes.body
I think at the end the more time they spending on island more wild they will become. There will be no food, no civilization, they will become crazy because of this and started killing each other or accepting death and just die, they don't realizing yet that they will die.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't agree with the theory that Ralph is going to end up dying. I think instead of him dying he is going to want to get revenge on Jack. I believe Ralph blames Jack for the death of both Simon and Piggy. Simon died because Jack claimed that Simon was the beast and Ralph went to confront Jack about taking Piggy's glasses. If Jack hadn't taken Piggy's glasses they would have never went to Jack place.

I think ralph isnt going to kill himself i think hes going to be headstrong and survive and might be the last person to survive.

# data[].attributes.body
One of my theories was that at the end of the book the boys would cry when they accept what happened to them in the island. Since they are kids, there's is a limit to what they can handle. Piggy's denial about Simon's death in chapter 11 justified my theory. The boys couldn't accept that they were murderers but at the end of the book that will change.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that in the end, Ralph will be one of the survivors, if not the only one. I think this because Simon, when they were exploring on the other side of the island that they have not went to before, told Ralph that he will go home. He said that he just feels that Ralph will make it out of here, but never said "we" or "you guys" will go home. I believe this was a foreshadowing, implying that Ralph will definitely make it out out of this island.

# data[].attributes.body
I think piggy is gonna get killed because he has been picked on since the start of the book and he has only himself, and I feel like ralph is the only one who might not get killed because of his mindset compared to the others .

# data[].attributes.body
I think that at some point Ralph And Jack are going to have conflict between each other which would result in either one of them to die and claim leadership

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Ralph is going to start spiraling out of control after witnessing the deaths of both Simon and Piggy. He is going to try and get revenge on Jack because he will probably think Jack is responsible for their deaths. Ralph will also blame Jack for forcing his companions in joining his tribe. I believe he will start spiraling out of control because he is now alone and doesn’t have anyone to run his ideas past. The textual evidence that shows this is "This time the silence was complete. Ralph's lips formed a word but no sound came. Suddenly Jack bounded out from the tribe and began screaming wildly. "See? See? That's what you'll get! There isn't a tribe for you anymore! The conch is gone-" (Golding, 181) Another piece of evidence is  “Viciously, with full intention, he hurled his spear at ralph. The point tore the skin and flesh over Ralph’s ribs, then sheared off and fell in the water. Ralph stumbled, feeling not pain but panic, and the tribe, screaming now like the chief, began to advance.” (Golding, 181). These two quotes show that Ralph has no idea what he is going to do next. He is completely alone and in shock.

I think that in the end all of the boys will end up savage and slowly killing each other off.

# data[].attributes.body
When seeing the lord of the flies I was not surprised at all. From earlier little details in the story I knew the kids were slowly losing it. Such as when they were hungry. And this led me to believe that something such as this, and the importance of the beast, would eventually turn into a plot twist in a way.

# data[].attributes.body
The purpose of the Lord of the Flies is to symbolize the boys having lost their sanity. Just like how Sora said, the Lord of the Flies is meant to inflict damage, almost like if it's trying to hurt the boys. The Lord of the Flies is an important character because as Sie said it could be a sense of foreshadowing. Not only that, even the title of the book ties back to the pig's head. It is important because as I stated before, it symbolizes how the boys are doing mentally while on the island.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Lord of the Flies would be a beast or a demonic figure. The reason why is because throughout the story the boys are really scared on what is out there and are worried so much about the two figures they had seen when they were hunting.

# data[].attributes.body
My initial thought of the lord of the flies was its not a thing of life. I would've never imagines that the lord of the flies was a "bacon on a stick." It's hard to imagine that this whole time the book symbolism a pig rather than a fly. As my classmates are adding on the lord of the flies really isn't doing anything to protect them. I agree that it is sort of foreshadowing the demise of the boys.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that the lord of the flies was going to have their own form. I did not expect them to talk using the head of a dead pig. I feel like the Lord of the Flies decided to talk to Simon was because he knows far more than the other kids, considering that he does not take sides, and is always observing.

# data[].attributes.body
My reaction to meet the lord of flies was like i didn't thought that it's a pig's head on a stick that all of them fears it. I was surprised to meet the Lord of Flies. My thoughts were different that it's actually is. Only because of this thing no one can really do something because they are scared.

I think it's a part of detail that was included in the book. The people can have intrigue, and always think what will be happen next. Author made Lord of Flies character unexpected, so no one was even thought what it will looks like. His decision was right, so it become a common part of the book.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the Lord of the Flies represents the boys insanity. For example, Simon is hallucinating. He thinks he is able to hear the Lord of the flies because he is barely surviving. In my opinion, the Lord of the Flies mainly focuses on the boys' intrusive thoughts and their attempt to cope with what is happening. I think Simon is on the verge of reaching his mental health limit.

# data[].attributes.body
"I'm not going to be part of Ralphs lot" this is important as it foreshadows how jack is going to leave the group and wander on his own after the others didn't want to replace Ralph as leader. This is also important because it leaves lots of question whether jack will make it and whether the other are going to leave thinking they could also make it on their own and this could disband the boys.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with what they have to say about Simon and how the boys are starting to lose hope, and this is Simon's way of showing that he is starting to think that they might not be rescued. I also agree with the idea that the beast is not a real character but instead a thing that might have an effect on Simon and maybe so of the other boys later in the story. Simon sees the Lord of the Fillies as a superior being we know this because in page 143 he talks down to Simon.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the importance of the Lord of the Flies in the book is to symbolize the way that they boys changed because so far they are not the same boys that they were at the beginning of the book. At the start of the book they were all scared and afraid and they wouldn't doing anything like kill a pig. So now when they placed the pigs head in the stick it shows that they changed, slowly and slowly they are becoming more and more savage.

# data[].attributes.body
My reaction in meeting the Lord of the Flies was shocked, Because we all imagined it as a big visible beast, But it turns out its just Simons head. I feel like The cause of Lord of the flies is because of all the trauma Simon has gone through these past weeks and its all effecting him, so I can't believe that its all in his head.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with what Elizabeth said, because it does really connect to how a group of friends would act in reality.

# data[].attributes.body
When Ralph, Jack, and the other boys began reenacting their interaction with the boar in chapter 7, it reminded me of a group of friends that sometimes take things too far when messing around. Almost like really close friends that get physical with each other when they play.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with what Sie said. While the quotes may be confusing, and it gives key details and ideas. It also foreshadows upcoming events and gives imagery to the readers for better understanding of the context.

# data[].attributes.body
"We've got to start the fire again" this quote is important because they have forgotten about the fire during the game they were playing and the finding of the beast. "kill him! Kill him!" this quote is also important because when they were playing the game they were starting to hurt the kids who were the animals to the point where they chanted a saying they said when they killed the pig. So the boys seem to go a bit far with the roughness.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the discussion posts that caught my attention is the one that Ashley Pulido made! This is because she mentions that Ralph is really starting to analyze his surroundings and he is starting to lose faith which is huge for him because he is chief, and in order to be a good chief, you have to have the faith in order to have the motivation to follow through with plans. Being a leader is having hope when no one else does.

# data[].attributes.body
The power struggle between Ralph and Jack and their different ideologies of calm and responsible vs savage and forceful could relate to the Cold War and the struggle between capitalism and communism

While the airplanes were fighting above the island there was a parachute with a figure. This could have been the beast that Sam and Eric claim to have seen. "There was a speck above the island, a figure dropping swiftly beneath a parachute, a figure that hung with dangling limbs." (page 95)
-Estephanie Guerra

# data[].attributes.body
I think the way in which the boys are so scared of the beast that everything even the shadow of the body of the parachutist relates to the way in which people during WWII couldn't think the most logically because of the fear they were feeling at the time.

# data[].attributes.body
I can predict that Ralph is starting to see that He changed not only him but so did the other members change, In chapter 6 he realizes that he needs his nails clipped and a hair cut and etc., he noticed that the other boys also changed a lot, Their hair was tangled, He also is starting to lose faith which is a big impact for him. He sees they're stuck in the middle of this HUGE ocean and he thought that maybe there is no way out.

# data[].attributes.body
Fear and authority have been the main themes in chapters 6 and 7. The group becomes more fearful after Sam and Eric claim to have seen the beast, causing Jack to become more manipulative since he gains more authority because of the fear of the kids.

I think there might be some foreshadowing. Simon keeps telling Ralph "you'll get back all right". I think this means Ralph will make it out of the island unharmed, or at least make it out of island alive. Another thing I noticed is that he keeps saying "you'll get out get back all right", but does not say "we'll" get back alright. I may think he knows that he won't make it out alive, or at least, not make it out of the island.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the group is slowly losing connection with society and the real world as in chapter 7 after they failed to hunt the boar they turned violent against each other in their game, showing they they're slowly losing their humanity and respect.

# data[].attributes.body
"the spears of sharpened wood were like a fence" is a simile in chapter 6 of lord of the files

# data[].attributes.body
In chapter 5 I think Jack shows his true self. The reason why is because in the story he was starting to forget the initial plan they had to get off the island, he was trying to make his own rules or try to not do what they were going to do at the start of the book.

# data[].attributes.body
I predict that Jack will inflict pain on one of the boys. I feel like he'll do this because as time progresses Jack is becoming more aggressive and more irritable. You can see this mostly during chapter 4 and 5. Along with that he dislikes/ hates, being told what he should or shouldn't be doing. With this he may either hurt someone or he will make his own group to follow his lead. However, unlike other times, Ralph was able to establish and represent what a leader should look like during this chapter. Along with that, Piggy was able to grow a backbone, but that only angered Jack more. This might be because he feels threatened that he could be knocked off of his position.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like Ralph got some character development because he has put his foot down and began to think about more plans to get off the island. He calls a meeting and from the very beginning he make it clear that they are there to discuss important matters about shelters, water, food, the fire, and to bring awareness to the "beast". In the meeting he calls out all of the boys for not doing their jobs correctly or for not doing their jobs at all. He also acknowledges that Piggy is actually smart and he has good ideas. Jack is getting more agressive because he want to be chief, he is mad that he made a mistake, and he is mad that Ralph is calling him out. He doesn't like to be told what to do.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Jack shows his true character in this chapter. He doesn't think that any sort of rules are necessary, and I predict that he is going to start influencing the littluns into following him instead. He is going to convince them that no rules is the right way to approach surviving on the island. His primal instinct is getting to him, and he is beginning to forget about the initial goal on the island. He doesn't want to go home anymore, he just wants to survive. Ralph showed himself as a leader for the first time in this chapter. Jack, Piggy, and Ralph all developed as characters.

# data[].attributes.body
While listening to the lord of the flies I'm starting to see that the beast is constantly growing in fierceness. We also see that while this whole time we thought piggy was the mature and smart one it may have been Simon all this time. He view the beast as something symbolic and something that exist within them. The beast is them. As Simon put it the beast has been them all along.

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t think the beast is real. I think it’s just there to symbolize the fear the boys are having. The boys are most likely starting to hallucinate from lack of sleep and food and it can be affecting their mental health causing them to see things that aren’t actually there. That being it’s making them paranoid thinking the beast is actually there.

# data[].attributes.body
It looks like a snake because the first little boy literally says that, and the snake symbolizes parts of your brain that encourage you to do evil. For example, the snake in the Garden of Eden.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the beast is there to symbolize the growing of fear. The boys have an open imagination, so the answer is unanswered and I think the beast is put in the book to do that on purpose an mess with their head. It gets worse and worse throughout the book.

# data[].attributes.body
The beast probably represents fear and uncertainty. They've never seen it but they're still afraid because it's unknown. Being somewhere unfamiliar can make people anxious and paranoid. This paranoia most likely manifested into the Beast.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the beast represents society's problems. The boys could represent political leaders and civilians. Like Jack is the selfish or corrupt leader. Ralph is the good leader and goes by justice. Piggy could be the logical one but cowardly leader. The little children could be the people or society. The beast could be the problems that society has. In the book, Ralph and Jack ignore the beast and try to pretend that it doesn't exist. Just like in the real world were many leaders ignore issues that society has. The symbolism could represent society as a whole and how it works.

# data[].attributes.body
I think there so worried about beast because its actually hiding there fear for the fact that they'll probably die on that island. I think the beast symbolizes their reality. I think the boys fear the beast cause they wonder if that's what they'll end up being.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe both that there can be a beast and that the beast is an imagination and can symbolize something. I believe there can be one since the island has never been explored. At the beginning in the book it says that Ralph's dad is going to rescue them because he has a map of all islands but he does not recognize the island. That means that nobody knows that island exists except for them. I also believe it could symbolize, like the class said, their craziness. They could imagine the beast since they ae scared to not be alone in the island.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the beast represents the boys mental state and the conditions they are in. The boys have been in the island and are not used to the heat and not eating as well. With all of these things going on at the same time. They made the fear of the unknown into the "Beast".

# data[].attributes.body
I do not think the beast is real, but the kid might be saying it is a beast in place of someone on the island. What if the "beast" planned the crash of the plane, killed the adults, and is now planning on eliminating the kids one by one. Just a theory, though.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that this could be fear of the unknow because if you don't know what is out there it puts fear into you and with this fear as long as you focus on it will cause you to be paranoid

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the beast is not a tangible object, something that cannot be seen or touched. I feel that their "beast" is what is inside them, their fear, emotions and even their unknown and hidden evilness within them, i think that that is what the author wants to show or portray by calling it the "beast"

# data[].attributes.body
I think the beast is within themselves fight for there own lives every day.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think the Beast really exists, since the book is full of symbolism it could be another way of symbolizing something like corruption as the Beast is seen as a snake. It could also be the kids imagination as they're 6-13 years old stranded on an island far from society and from what they're used to.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the beast is Mr. beast greedy for money enslaver the the children in the wild for money

# data[].attributes.body
I think the beast is not real. I think it's not real because it's more likely their fear and paranoia making themselves 'see' a beast. They are also children and when you are a child, you may think of the monsters that might be in your room, or even your closet. But really they are freaking themselves out, and making themselves see it. They are feeding their imagination, to make their fear seem normal.

# data[].attributes.body
Continuing from before, I also think it could put Ralph's leadership into test in a way on how he'll deal with the situation.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the beast may be real. I think it's there to help them more and with the story. At the moment, everyone seems to be lacking teamwork and communication. They all seem to be doing their own thing, but with the beast coming into the story, they could come together to bring it down or so and I think it could help our characters connect in a way.

The war has turned civilized people uncivilized because the war is getting into their, just like how the boys are becoming uncivilized being stuck on the island. In the war there are people who are going against one another, just like how Ralph and Jack are going against Piggy. Also, how everyone stuck on the island was forced into a little group that they are in, that's how the war is going on with propaganda to change people's mind so they think the other side is wrong and they are right. The mindset that can be involved in any time period is on how people try to show off to seem better, this could be on the human nature. Humans, are sociable and should be able to stay that way so people can remain stable enough. Being social is probably a mentality how we should be or act. But, we would need people to help us build ourselves up. Herd mentality back in the day was a way to keep people in line, but this is not the main reason why people should stop being social. Being social can help you keep some sanity like the boys are trying to keep sanity. But since they are deciding who is leader and only following that person can lead to disaster and make them lose some kind of sanity. They are used to following so they look at someone who has more authority than they have, it leads to them following only the strongest people and not the most logical since they have the mentality, they wont be able to do anything to help with the situation.

I feel the boys being stuck in the Island can in a way relate to an abusive home life. The boys are stuck on that island and they have to fend for themselves, to the point where they lose their sanity is the same as children who are stuck in abusive homes. Everyday they live a life with pain and fear of what might happen to them. This relates to the boys being stuck on the island because everyday they too fear the danger and are in continuous suspense at what may happen to them. Also there are no grownups on that island. No adult can help and reassure them. They are missing an adult figure in their life making them feel helpless and lost.

I feel like lord of the Flies represents how people act upon their pride or in the moment instead of using rationalism. In the book, Ralph is elected leader and instead of coming up with plans to will help the group in the long term, he creates a dangerous plan that put the childrens safety at risk. Piggy is the voice of reason and rationalism however all the boys refuse to listen to him because they rather go with the flow and have fun and they prefer come up with plans that the THINK will work instead of coming up with plans that WILL work. Ralph hasn't realized that he is in charge of the boys safety he just let it all get to his head. They lack of rationalism will lead to their downfall.

The plot of the story was set around 1950 during world war II. The author symbolizes the conflict of the world war II in chapter one. The plan all of the boys were in was hit by a bomb which connects to the war. I think the author symbolizes the real world problems or outside the island by showing how uncivilized the boys are becoming.
