Chapter 12 Journal

The ending of the novel was great in that they were able to be rescued, however, it still leaves many unanswered questions. Such as: What happens to the boys when they return to civilization?, Are the boys reprimanded for their actions?, and Will they be sent to mental institution for PSTD? When the danger is over, Ralph cries because he sees a civilized person and realizes how far from civilization the boys are. Ralph cries over the broken order and the ongoing chaos that the boys live in. He grieves over the deaths, especially Piggy and the fear he had felt. He cries over the dark and cruel ways of humans, and the lost innocence of man.

 I despise Jack the most because he the one who incited the whole situation. He is selfish and prideful. He only wanted more power. Also, he encouraged the boys to act like savages and act out of anger. Also, he bullied Piggy constantly without reason.

I would recommend this novel to a friend because it's different than most books. It highlights the evil ways of humanity and argues that humans are innately evil. It's a great book to use for a debate. Also, it has a lot of violence and action. Lastly, it allows a person to ponder over how good or bad human nature really is.
