Lord of the Flies 2

Think a bit deeper about the themes present in the book - what do you think
Golding might have been trying to say about society and politics?
I think Golding was trying to state that no matter what, the human race can be a savage thing, no matter what the age. These boys end up singing about killing pigs, and and end up killing Simon. Society is only held together by rules and laws, and if people start to ignore those rules...well...all hell breaks loose. 


Do you agree with the idea that evil is inherent in people, regardless of
age? Discuss in relation to your own experiences as well as those in
the book. 
I believe that all people have some evil in them, as well as good, or else we wouldn't be people. I don't believe it's inherent, due to the plain fact that everyone's got SOME evil in them, and some more than others. Jack had some evil in him due to the fact that he killed a person, as well as the fact that he has a good side, by providing food for the tribe.
