After reading Lord of the Flies I realized that most people see the mayhem that occurred ro stranded boys on an island. However‚ i saw what they accomplished. They made a temporary society‚ something that would be difficult for any group of any age. Keeping a close leash on their sanity was difficult but most seemed to hold on in some way even the young “littluns.” Rescue was on everyones mind‚ and it was understood that they needed a signal‚ a smokey fire.
