LORD OF THE FLIES THEME PAPER   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Here invisible yet strong, was the taboo of the old life. Round the squatting child was the protection if parents and school and policemen and the law. (pg.62). Lord of the Flies written by William Golding is a book showing that without restrictions (laws, rules) anything can happen. The world could be havoc if it was just kids and no parents. Let me ask you this if you were stranded on an island and you were 12 years old and there was no adults would you go wild? Would you kill another kid? Would you put on war paint before hunting? These are the questions that you should ask yourself. In this book they could answer the questions for you or not you decide.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Without supervision from an adult figure these kids got out of control. They weren’t thinking about being saved except for Piggy and Ralph. All it was about was the hunting. Just to take down a pig with a spear and then killing it for food was their main priority.

They didn’t have teachers or parents to set them out of their trance. No one to show the way to being good kids. No one to punish them for wrongdoing. Since they were free of supervision they went crazy. They didn’t care about the fire going out. You talk. But you cant even build huts then you go off hunting and let out the fire. (pg.71). They just wanted to hunt all the time and they killed two other kids. One was accidental but they shouldn’t have thrown a huge boulder on top of Piggy’s head. Know if there was an adult supervision then the hunters wouldn’t be hunting they’d be made to watch the fire 24 hours and they wouldn’t be killing other kids either.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ralph and Piggy were really the only ones wanting to be saved. They were closest to being any kind of an adult supervision. But since they weren’t actually adults the kids wouldn’t listen to them. Piggy and Ralph knew what had to be done to be rescued but none of the kids cared about
