In his end discussion on Lord of the Flies, Golding says that it does matter what your teacher, the professor, or the writer says is in a book. All that matters is what you get from it. Therefore, what is the major theme/lesson that you have gotten from this novel? What event made you come to this conclusion most? (The deadline to post a response is midnight, Nov. 8, 2013.)

To me it was that rules are important. They provide order and civilization. The thing im the story that most showed this is when it started to show Ralph's side of the island and how savage and corrupt it was.PR1
The major theme of the story is that law and order is the most important thing anyone can have. When Ralph was having assemblies he was trying to make rules, but no one listened. He was trying to make law and order. When Jack and the others did not listen they made another society on the other end of the island, which did not have law or order. Yes there was a leader, but the leadership must be split up between certain things.
The biggest lesson this book showed me is that there is a beast inside every human. It doesn't always show out but certain events cause it to come out in everybody. The event in the book that showed me this is when Simon was killed and even Piggy and Ralph joined in and help them murder him.DB1
I learned that even the most innocent person can become savage and loose their humanity. It is possible to fit through it and not become that way. Keeping focus on what's important in this world can help anyone not fall short. AV1
