In my opinion it reveals the dark side of human society and it is demonstrated by 25 boys’ behavior. For me the mood of this book was inky, gloomy, dull, pessimistic, tragic and really violent, cruel, evil, and harsh. Dark and wildness of human being are also displayed vividly. Somewhere in the book it was written that every single boy should have been to school and before coming to an uninhabited island they must have possessed mind of child. However as the time passes and as they adopt the new environment their minds and thoughts change not in a good way. In the beginning Ralph was elected as a leader, and most conditions were working out very smoothly. However without any guide lines such as adults or an intellectual, 24 boys had to assistance Ralph. He had to seek for every need and had to solve out the problems they had faced with. And of course there were no one advice to him except Piggy who had lots of knowledge which helped Ralph a lot. But still Piggy’s knowledge was not enough, and because of that unexpected incidents happened such as loosing kids, killing their friend Simon, and firing in island. It was violent and every action they have done was so cruel and aggressive. I was shocked to the facts that these little kids could do those things. Also it made me sad because they were young and indeed needed protects from adults. Jack couldn't control his feelings and antipathy to Ralph because he didn't have anyone teaching him how to restraint his mind.
