What is the major theme of this novel? Why is this theme important to a teenager living
in 2007?
I think the major theme of this novel is that everyone has a dark side inside. The children were a symbol of purity and righteousness. But when they were isolated, the dark side appeared. Most of them became wild, like an angry beast that can’t control himself, and they killed their friend without hesitation. How is it possible to kill a friend and not care about it; this theme is important to a teenager living in 2008. I think today’s environments are making teens wilder. When the shooting game came out, a guy in the army killed 5 people. Teens are smoking and taking drugs when they are below the age of 19. Perhaps, children are becoming more isolated, like on an unknown island.

Anyway, Ourself is the thing we truely don't know.
I am still reading(?) "Thr Lord of Flies", but i got shocked that there will be killing friends.
And i agree the part that you wrote:
" But when they were isolated, the dark side appeared. Most of them became wild, like an angry beast that can’t control himself, and they killed their friend without hesitation."
I sometimes dream about murdering someone. Really...
But, it was kind of entertainmnet...
I think this is my other kind of personality or say bad side of mine.
So, totally, I agree that everyone has dark side, and it is a problems that depends on time, situation, and place.(I added my opinion.)
