“Are Humans Naturally Violent?”
In Whipps and Glowacki’s essays, there are quite a few solid points that would make sense to some readers. In Lord of the Flies, “Everyone has experienced anger at one point in their lives and some of us -- males mostly, …. have channeled that anger into violence, perhaps by throwing a punch during a hockey game or after too many beers at the bar.”. Also in Lord of the Flies, there is a war going on “Then there’s aggression on a much sinister scale, in the form of murder, wars and genocide.”.

Jack and the Hunters in this quote are excited about finding the pig and killing it. “The madness came into his eyes again. ‘I thought I might kill.”(Golding 46).
