Question #2

Are there are any current situations in the world that relate to the novel? What are they, and how do they relate? Does the novel shed any light on how current situations could be resolved or "fixed"?

The government that is full of depravity and false accusation is one of the situations in the world that is related to this novel. The major theme of this book is about the false accusation and depravity in the peoples’ hidden mind, which is one of the evilness in our mind. In the story, after a while the two leaders of the children in the island fights because of their authority and power, as the result the group of children divided into two groups and one represents the wild life and the other represent the civilized life. The fight between two leaders became the group fight and brings the result that is the death of two civilized people. The government in some country today fight with the other government in other country because of their needs and power, and again the result of that fight is war between that countries and that also brings the death of many people in this world. At the resolution of the novel the number of civilized children get rescued, and the conflict between two groups solved, and the island got all burned and destroyed by the wild children in that island.
