surprisingly to me all of the boys, by the end of lord of the flies decides to join jacks tribe. which surprises me when Ralphs system of a tribe is more civil and more ruleish. jack has his tribe in fear and this is how he stays ruler for that tribe. in the book it says that Jack was sitting in his rulers chair waiting for his food while the tribe members work like servants. unlike Ralphs way of leader ship. he is more on the lines of what needs to be done. he is not a crazy man running around only worried about meat. Raplh is mainly concerned about rescue shelter, water, and order. i think that society is corrupt and face the same type of problem as does on this island. our nation is not as bad but i think that people are corrupt to a level. i think this because every is a little crazy in some way but not every one is crazy enough to lets say commit a murder or rob a bank. but some people do things like lying.    

in my view of the book that i have read so far. it seems to me that he is comparing the book to human society. based on the book it seems like he is trying to show how human society can be corrupt. they are all very young in the book, and of course when you make rules kids seem to break them. they all decide at first to vote on a chief and make rules too follow. in that sense i think he is comparing them trying to follow rules on this island to kids trying to follow rules in a classroom. in chapter 3 they establish a rule saying that only the kid holding the conch can speak and wont be interrupted. then shortly after most of the kids are talking when the kid with the birthmark on his face is trying to tell them about the monster snake. so already the rules are being broken right away. also when piggy tells Ralph not to call him piggy, and then he starts calling him piggy. that shows me that these kids can not be trusted and people will in this sense turn on people. sorta like this class experiment when we would have to choose one finger or 2. if you both put one finger you gotta point, and if one of the kids put one finger and the other two the one with two got two point and the other lost a point. when the kids agreed to both go for one finger and then they both put out two fingers loosing points. it just goes to show you that people can turn on you even if you don't expect it.   

Can we trust people to be good? If we left a group of people on an island with adequate food and water and no external threats, would they be able to live together?
         
            i think that they would eventually get sick and tired of each other. also they might go their own separate ways because someone who could kind of be taking leadership makes rules or anything of that nature that the rest don't like. maybe they might even have their own kingdoms almost and claim land for themselves, and get into a war against each other. or they could all get along and learn how to deal with some of the ways people are trying to do things. another possibility would be to make sure that what ever they're going to do, lets say they have to make a tough decision. then they should make sure that every body agrees on the decision before they act.
