However, there is no society on the Island; there are no adults to tell the boys what is acceptable and what is not. The boys are able to make their own decisions and live their live however they want, yet their decisions make them to begin acting like a savage.

Jack’s appearance has drastically changed since there is no one around to tell Jack what is accepted in society and what is not, “a pair of tattered shorts held up by his knife-belt he was naked” (Golding 62).

He or she is a person who has not attained the age of legal majority. A feral child (feral, – wild or undomesticated) is a human child who has lived isolated from human contact from a very young age, and has no (or little) experience of human care, loving or social behaviour, and, crucially, of human language. Feral children are confined by humans (often parents), brought up by animals, or live in the wild in isolation. As a psychologist, we will notice that there are quite a huge difference in the development of a normal child and a feral child in many aspects. Physical growth in build and weight occurs over the 15–20 years following birth, as the individual changes from the average weight of 3.5 kg and length of 50 cm at full-term birth to full adult size.
