What is the major theme of this novel? Why is this theme important to a teenager living in 2007?

I think the major theme of this novel is we need to know and keep important things in our minds and also we need to follow the rules of any group that you are in. Today people forget what is first and what is second or what is right and wrong. Sometime because of the mood, people commit something wrong even though they know it is not right. If people do not follow the rules then the society will be massed up and ruined. I think this theme is important to teenagers living in 2007 because teenagers are not grown up they are still learning and fixing. Teenagers are exposure in danger and temptation. Especially teenagers who are living in 2007, but not all of teenagers but many of them, they do not have much patience. And also they are rougher compare with before teenagers. Today’s movie or a program of television shows intense and stimulus without hesitation because of this reason teenager’s violence occurs frequently. Some teenagers do not have brothers or sisters. Only child doesn’t have to share something with her or his sibling. This source makes trouble when they are in group. In a small group, rules are important for maintain the group. For only child teenagers this surrounding might be strange for them. During the teenage is more susceptibility than rational so they are just swept away by mood so they oblivious what is the right way.

Are there any settings in this novel which you have found to be beautiful? or disturbing? or memorable? Describe these settings and comment on why they were meaningful to you.

The setting I liked best was the mountain. It was surrounded with pink rock and green trees. It was the place where the first fire was built. All the boys helped in making the fire by volunteering. The surrounding is refreshing and feels free. The nature in the middle of the island is so beautiful. On the top of the mountain you can see every part of the island and also the sea surrounding it.
The place that was most disturbing was the forest at night. It was creepy and stuffy. It is also scary and mysterious. You don't know when the beast will jump out or even if the beast exists. It is the place of question the most arguments were made because of this unknown part of the island.

What is the mood of this novel? What happens? How do the events of this novel make you feel?

The first mood of this novel was peaceful every kids were listening person who got the conch and they didn't break the rules. But later mood was change to anger and anxiety. Kids seperated by two groups. One group wanted to be just playing but another group thought about how to servive in this island. That two groups didn't like each other. Eventually they killed kids. At the first time they were friends but later they became savages. I didn't expect they would kill each other. It is such a huge happening. How come they killed people. This happening was so sad unbelievable.

What is the climax if this novel? What happens? How do the events of the novel make you feel?

I think the climax of this novel is Jack left Ralph and went the other place with his hunters and made another group. Jack became a leader of his group. Jack didn't care about the fire; he just hunted and enjoyed foods. Jack's tribe was dancing during the enjoying for foods and they thought Simon was a beast so they killed him. It was an accident, they surprised so they killed Simon. This happening made me feel so sad and absurd. Simon died because of Jack's tribe. They were in feast so everybody was impulsive. If he died because of beaster or wild animal’s attack then I could understand this happening but cause is not because of beaster or animal. This event makes me feel pitiable about Simon. Jack tried to injure Ralph’s tribes. This situation made me feel Jack is so wicked and a villain. Even though killed Simon is not on purpose Jack doesn’t feel any guilty about it and he is not sorry to Simon
