A Test Of Human Behavior! The Lord of The Flies
A group of boy scouts and their mentors were on a ship that wrecked in the middle of the ocean. The survivors floated to a deserted island. No adults were found alive. Left to fend for themselves, the boys formed tribes with the idea that each tribe would have a specific functionality. One being the hunters of the group, the other being the cooks and so on and so forth. Only to find, it was somewhat of a self fulfilling prophesy. The hunters, became control ridden and hungry for violence. It was bullying on another level, only this time there was no one wise enough to help or experienced enough to delegate.
One question I had after reading this book was, if this group had been a group of adults instead of children, would they have lost their societal senses quicker or slower than the children did ? We already know that (in some situations) bullying takes place with adults just as it does with children, but as this more a case of people who have never had to be independent, would bullying still be a thriving factor. As always the movie didn't meet the standard the book set . However under-rated, this book, was a delight to read .
