The boys, acting on their first instinct, create a microcosm to model the society they have been so used to seeing. However, Golding emphasizes that savagery and evil exist in everyone and that the defects of the society on the island come from the defects in the boy’s character.

He does it to protect Pony and so the gang would love him more and let him be a part of it. When Johnny saves the children from the church, his lack of acceptance make him feel worthless, so much so he believes the kids he saved deserve to live more than he does.
