First degree murder involves hatred and planning. (Doc A) Second degree murder has intent, but lacks hatred and planning. (Doc A) Mars’s death was 2nd degree murder and Piggy’s death was 2nd degree, but Simon’s an accident.
Why Mar’s death was second degree murder? Because there was no planning it wasn't some had hatred on him some didn't and it couldn't be by intent because he wanted to Sawyer shot him but missed and he was still alive, but Jack went in there and he was suffocating so Jack killed him so that he would not have to suffocate.

So if they had to tell who was guilty or who's not it would go like this. Sawyer tried to kill Mars but he missed so that would be 2nd degree murder because it was intended to do and jack finished it of so Sawyer would be the guilty one because his intention was to killing him and Jack didn't want to see him suffer so he did what he had to do. So whoever tried killing piggy is guilty it was intention of murder so they are guilty.And Simon’s death was an accident because they were having self defense and they didn't know who was

Adults are the ones that make the rules and ensure they are enforced. In chapter four "Roger grabbed a handful of stones and began to throw them. Yet there was a space around Henry, perhaps six yards in diameter, into which he dare not throw. Here, invisible yet strong, was the taboo of the old life. Round the squatting child was the protection of parents and school and policemen and the law. Roger's arm was conditioned by a civilization that knew nothing of him and was in ruins." This symbolizes civilization…

    From all of the facts and reasons presented throughout the book and in this essay it is obvious that Jack’s descension into savagery is indeed true. The fact that children are savages by nature cannot be denied since it has been proved thoroughly and explicitly throughout this novel. Golding also asserts that actually savagery is innate within each and every one of us, and that it is more primal than our instinct towards the civilized way of life. Having this been said, it can also be said that Jack’s development into a savage can be attributed to his loss of civilization. From what can be taken from this novel, it seems that Golding tries to illustrate and convey that moral behavior is something that society tends to train children to believe…

At first, Ralph and Jack got along with teamwork and split their parts and works among the boys.

Together, they chanted One! Two! Three! and they crashed the log on to the great pile” (Golding 39). This quotation uses the repetition of the word “together” because the author is trying to express the positive relationship between the two boys. This passage also symbolises the beginning…

    in the book lord of the flies, Piggy is treated like an outsider by all t the other boys on the island, mainly Jack. I personally think that the boys are treating Piggy that way because him and might be intimidated, Piggy is obviously very intelligent and i think all the boys had an idea of it when the were together for the first time and that's probably the main reason of the teasing because they know he's superior. In our society today so many people are treated like Piggy on a daily bases such as new kids at a new school, disabled people and people in different class systems.
