Relating Lord of the Flies to people in real world?

Answer 1

The whole process of the boys voting for Ralph as leader because they know he is pleasant, sensible and wants what is best and then defecting to join Jack even though he is an unpleasant bully who is blatantly interested only in himself equates to many common teenage experience. Teens often lobby to have youth clubs in their areas, places where they can play sports, games and do useful activities. Then many of the same teenagers fail to ever even go to the youth clubs and join gangs instead. Despite being told by adults that it isn't a good idea and despite knowing from there own experience they still go ahead and do it. They willing exchange a comfortable youth club with all its facilities for the boredom of standing on street corners doing nothing of any consequence, often in the company of at least one other person who they don't even like. They know they run the risk of getting in trouble with the police, often simply through association with the one person in the group who really is a trouble maker. They know at some point they'll having to explain their behaviour to their parents but they do it anyway. Call it peer pressure or teenage rebellion but it bears a remarkable similarity to the behaviour of Bill, Samneric and the rest in Lord of the Flies and they weren't even teenagers.
