When he found out that he killed all the buggers he started crying. The IF lied to him and told him that it was just a game when it was not.
The boys believe that they will be rescued after their airplane crash-landed on a deserted island with no adults. They believe it is a short trip in paradise. Ironically, the boys learn the dark side of human nature: killing, stealing, and fighting. The book Lord of the Flies doesn’t offer any hope because most of the boys turned into violent savages who kill and steal. They had no solution to end it.
Lord Of The Flies Motif Essay In “Lord of the Flies”, William Golding uses symbols and motifs to convey his theme of the nature of mankind. In the beginning they are organized and behaving in a rational way. As the story progresses the boys become more and more savage until at the end they are hunting one of them with the intention of killing him. Through the book, Golding uses the conch, the fire, the hunting party, the clothing and the beast to convey that men are naturally savage without laws to control them.

Having a war or something?’” The officer did not even know the level at which the war (caused by Jack doubting Ralph) was at. The battle was between the only good left on the island (represented by Ralph) and the evil of dictatorship.

He isn't a proper chief.”(Gift for the Darkness, p.138) Jack challenges Ralph whom he calls a coward; Ralph had insulted Jack's hunters as "boys with sticks”.
