In the novel, “Lord of the Flies”, by William Golding, he shows as time increases the boys physical appearance changes in both subtle and dramatic ways and given these alterations of their appearance it changes the boy’s sense of community and their ideas of appropriate behavior.

There are many that one can reason, but I can argue that two main themes of chapters 1-3 are ‘’ Don’t base your judgement on someone solely because of the recourses they have”, and “Somethings are harder than we anticipate.” Take my first theme for example, when all the boys chose Ralph to be the leader because he had the conch. “ Him with the shell. Ralph!…
