Why did you require us to read this book? I can think of one reason, being that no matter how old you are, morals and law are necessary for survival. Yet, I still believe that this book, despite its strong message, was weak and uninteresting.

What was so great about hunting? This obsession with hunting was what baffled me the most throughout this book. I honestly don't see what was so great about it, and why they let it interrupt their responsibilities. If they had not been distracted with hunting and just tended to the fire like they were supposed to, it's possible that could have been rescued earlier on in the book.

"Kill the pig! Cut his throat! Kill the pig! Bash him in!" (Chap. 7, pg. 114) This line shows that they have pretty much lost it

The societal structure was democratic yet bias. All of the boys were from somewhat aristocratic societies since they most likely belonged to a rich boarding school if they were flown from place to place. They discriminated against the "littluns" and Piggy because they were unable to help and saw them as useless. Many felt the need to be in a higher position than the other. Yet they elected a chief and made up laws. They were contradicting themselves.

The pig's head symbolized the boys' spiral down toward insanity. At this point, when they decided to plant a pig's head on a stick, they were already obsessed and diluted with hunting and killing. They were "off their rockers."
