So far the book is very good. I enjoy the detailed physical descriptions of the island, and all of the social controversy that is subtly going on in the boys lives. I have a few problems though. The book can be hard to understand at points because of the way it's written. There it a lot of British slang, and war references that would be a lot easier to understand if I was born at the time.
I am glad my topic to focus on is evil, because from what I've heard and seen, there is a lot of evil that becomes ever present in the boys now that they are on the island. It made me wonder what I would be like on an island like that. We all have our own views, and everyone has their different ways of expressing the, but in a situation like this would the darkness in everyone come out? Would I become a wild animal? It is rather strange to see how quickly people change in situations where danger is the reality. I do wish we would be able to see what the boys were like before all of this, to get a better view on how much they changed when they became stranded on the island.
