Lord of the Flies - question
Just finished the book - great, great story - but one thing that bothers me: those boys on the island didn't know one another. Weren't they from the same military school? Nobody knew nobody?
Based on this fact that they arrived on the island as "strangers," I guess it could conceivably be possible to devolve into savagery against one another. But, if they had known one another, would it be equally possible?

There is at least one group of boys that do know each other: the choir group lead by Jack.

American schools don't have any universal learning plans; those are typically implemented on the local level. Reading materials can often be left up to the individual teacher.

I heard the two versions were not completely true to the book, although it told the essential story. Wonder when/if they'll remake it into the DEFINITIVE version.
