6th Period
“What are we? Humans? Or animals? Or savages?” Savagery or Primitivity happened to be the main theme in my eyes for Lord of the Flies. To think that a group of well mannered boys can turn into savages with each other astonishes me. The book starts out with a group of boys who had moral values and were respectful for each other. However, throughout the book you find that over a small period of time the boys begin to change into something ugly. Anger, jealousy, envy, and hatred begin to take over their thoughts and acts. They lose all respect for each other and kill without true reason. If there is one thing I would have liked to see, is what would have gone differently if there were females on the island too. Maybe less division, maybe more. There are many outcomes that might have been altered if females were in this story.
