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.
