Lord Of The Flies, By William Golding

Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, is a perfect example of how kids would act when placed on an uninhabited island with no guidance or rule. The views the children once had were beginning to be dramatically affected by their surroundings. In Chapter one “The children gave him the same obedience that they have given to the men with megaphones” (Golding 18). All of their previously known comforts and security’s are now being molded by the environment around them. Many things can change when the luxuries of living are taken away.
The environment around a person can drastically change who they are no matter how they we brought up or raised. As an example any normal person could be short on cash with a family to feed and ends up robbing a convenience store and gets caught. They had good intentions and still do but have to serve time for it. While serving their time they could slip up and find themselves in solitary confinement which ,depending on how long they’re in” could lead to permanent mental damage. No matter how good of a person you were raised to be the environment around you could change you in just mere days for the rest of your life.
A person born without anything wrong with them can be destroyed mentally by an abusive family. In the Lord of The Flies Jack’s tribe was like an abusive household, commanding the boys to do whatever he wants and giving them nothing in return. “Jack ignored them for the moment, turned his mask down to the seated boys and pointed at them with the spear. ‘Who’s going to join my tribe?’ ”(Golding 150). All Jack cares about is his tribe doing what he wants them to do for his personal gain. This could have short and long term effects on the children, changing their lives
