Chp. 12 Reflection

So some of the incidents that were blatantly evil were when all of the boys killed Simon. The act was completely on the whim of one boy who has started the frenzy, Jack. Another act is when Roger killed Piggy with the huge boulder. He did it out of spite and cruelty. I do kind of agree with what Golding said at the end of the book. I think the book was written to show how much humans could fall from their civilized life when exposed to no rules. I also believe that humans would naturally tend to lean towards chaos and savagry when accompanied with no rules. Some few people like Ralph would be more resonable and rational than the rest. "And in the middle of them, with filthy body, matted hair, and unwiped nose, Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man's heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend piggy," Pg.202
