What is the major theme of this novel? Why is this theme important to a teenager living in 2007?
I thought the theme of The Lord of the Flies was interesting and shown pretty straight forward
since the book is about kids stranded on a deserted island
it almost seems obvious that the kids becomes savages and become so brutal but at the same time
its hard to imagine in the social world
I mean think about it, kids who are 10~11 are killing pigs with sticks cutting their head off
and killing each other, not really what a second grader should do it his life
So the theme is that how people's (especially children) humanity can vanish so easly
and how brutal and cruel they can become
This can be important to a teen in the modern days because that
the characters in this books were teens as well so it should be pretty easy to
imagine putting yourself in that situation
Since the theme is that the humanity in people can vanish so easy, we should be carful
not to lose our humanity through out our lives
