No adult can understand the struggle of what these brave, heroic children went through. In this interview we will learn about the boys’ battle of survival, precarious adventures, and the thoughts that must have been ravaging in their young minds. First, we will interview the survivors of the island, next we will talk with the family of the survivors, and lastly, we will talk with the family of the deceased.
The Survivors
Author Ralph L.F discuss his adventure at the island and his upcoming novel, ‘Strangers Within’
Q: So we learned that you are planning to write a book on your adventure at the island, what inspires you to do so?
A: I would first like to say that this was not an adventure. Adventures are supposed to be fun and amusing-not …show more content…
A: At the beginning it was exhilarating! Nobody to tell you when to clean, to eat, or to study. The freedom we possessed was crazy, but soon went to our heads. Without adults to discipline us, the boys became ruthless savages—and even killed! Things would have gone a lot differently if there were adults.
Q: What did you learn while stuck on that island?
A: I learned a great lot of things, but one that truly struck me was that society depends on the ‘ethical nature’ of an individual, and that you must do what is right even if there is no one to support you.

Abbey, father of Simon Abbey, talks about death of his son
Q: How would you describe Simon?
A: Simon’s shy nature acted as a social impediment. He had few friends and wasn’t much of a talker. Nonetheless, he was caring and always helped whoever was in need. He has- I mean had- a gentle soul. He was creative and enjoyed drawing, singing, playing-like any boy! It was truly a shame that he had died.
Q: How did you feel about Simon’s absence?
A: Simon was so young and frail; I could not believe he was missing. His absence was truly disconsolate.
Q: How did you take the news that there was a batch of missing British schoolboys found?
A: I had hope he was alive. I was actually confident that he survived.
Q: How did you react to the knowledge of Simon’s death?
A: Words cannot describe how I felt for his death. His mom died at a young age, and he was an only child. I have trouble coping with his death-and it still hasn’t hit me that he’s gone.
