The mood of this novel changes from the beginning and to the end. At the beginning the mood was very peaceful, cheerful, and happy, but after time passed by the mood became very depressing, frustrating, and sad. When they killed one person who is called Simon by playing the scene, which is killing the wild boar, I felt shock and sadden, because of the fact that young child died because of one play, and the fact that people is very weak and little that they can be killed by their own friends. After some time passed there was one victim in that island, who is called Piggy. He got hit by the rock, which was thrown in propose to kill Piggy. This event made me feel really sad about Piggy, Ralph and Jack. For Piggy, because he is dead even though he was too young for death, and for Ralph, because he saw one of his best friend dieing next to him and for Jack, because he has weak mind that could not control his anger.
