This has been going on ever since I can remember, and I feel like now more than ever, because of the recent wars, terrorist attacks, and horrible diseases that we hear about every day on the news.

Grief, Grief: Lord of the Flies”, states that “the island opens in Eden.” He uses this to show how the boys are allusions to Adam and Eve, being in paradise, bringing sin and evil, and then ultimately destroying it.
