Why do humans need rules? A question that most people have asked themselves, most likely when they were a young age and didn’t agree with rules that had been made. In the novel Lord of the Flies written by William Golding in the 1950’s just shortly after World War II, a great number of boys are stranded on an island, the oldest being 12 and the youngest being 6. Golding had served in the War and had also taught to young boys prior to his days serving in the War, during this time Golding had realized that boys were very reckless. Which supports how due to the lack of rules, authority, and government regulations the stranded boys society would fall into a chaotic state.
