Robert Frost had once said "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” These words can easily compare to the book Lord of the Flies, written by William Golding. In this book there were boys who were stranded on an island and there had been a power struggle between two boys named Jack and Ralph.
