the book was forcing some selfish view of humanity down our throats
Ironically there was a real case of kids getting stranded on an island only to be rescued a year and a bit later, and you know what? They actually worked together and made it a rule that they would never drag out any hostilities, that they would resolve them and never take it any further.
EDIT: You can still find the true story if you google 'real lord of the flies kids'
lord of the flies is hobbesian, randian garbage and by far the worst book I was forced to read. even when I was a kid I knew the book was forcing some selfish view of humanity down our throats. I hope it’s no longer required reading for kids now.
