Think of the difference between kids raised in a stable home with a loving family and kids raised alone in the streets, clearly a big difference. The Lord of the Flies is an intense book about a group of boys being forced to grow up and survive on a deserted island without any parents to guide them.

“He began to dance and his laughter became a bloodthirsty snarling.” (Golding, 1954, p. Page 58). Jack quietly became savage without anyone realizing it until near the end of the book, when all of a sudden boys started dying and he split the group into two separate tribes. After failing to kill the pig near the beginning of the story, he felt he needed to live up to his peers and kill one. This led to him making irrational decisions in order to fulfil his goal of killing a pig. In the end of the Lord of the Flies Jack showed complete savagery. Jack started a cold-hearted chant while playing with the boys, “Kill the pig! Bash him in! Cut his throat!” (Golding, 1954, p. Page 104). He lost all apathy he once had towards the pigs and the other boys. His priority was always to get meat, but he changed overall from believing this was more important than anything else, even the lives of the other boys. Jack lost his civilization, he tortured and scared the other choir boys to help himself achieve his goal, stopped caring about order, and didn’t listen to what anyone else
