Flies" by William Golding.
Because of the war in England where the boys were from their human
experience was one of war. If there was no war going on in England at the time
they were evacuated from England, there would've been no deaths, no Lord of the
Flies, and certainly no beast. Because if they had came with a good human nature
then how would there have been a beast which Golding classified as the basic

A Lesson Well Taught
Words: 482 / Pages: 2 .... others. “This is mine, that’s mine,” (458) says Big Butt as he looks through the windows at all the toys. It is a child’s instinct to want, and I believe this was a lesson in itself. The fact that the children all wanted the toys that they saw but they couldn’t afford them made them think. It made them realize that the toys within the window looked good but were thy really worth what they cost? “…$480 it don’t make sense…” (458) The value of a dollar and how it is spent was one lesson the children understand and the phrase Money doesn’t grow on trees.
“..I kinda held back…I feel funny, shame”,(460) says Sylivia as s .....

right!"(115). Scout was reasonably appalled by his new manner, and asked
Atticus about it. "Reckon he's got a tapeworm?"(115). Although Scout's
conceptions about his [Jem's] behavior may have been wrong in some
respects, she was right to recognize he wasn't acting his usual self.
I believe these behavioral changes may have been because of Jem
acquiring a mask. He began wearing this mask around the start of his
teenage years, as a result of pressures from peers, and a fear of not being
accepted. Even in these different social and economic times, the 1930's,
issues like popularity and social acceptance were real and .....

I think that Tom and Huck are very smart boys, when Huck snuck out

me-yow! me-yow! as soft as I could, and then I put out the light and
scrambled out of the window on to the shed." This shows the boys
resourcefulness and intelligence.

gang planned to rob peo .....
