In the novel ‘Lord of the Flies,’ the teenagers who were left in the islands are living like Indian tribes. The teenagers hunt pigs, cut woods, and build shelters. Just like Indian tribes, the teenagers have assemblies, and when there is an assembly, there is a conflict. They always have disagreement and those different thoughts sometimes bring them to violence. All of these situations are most likely to happen in the early centuries. From that point, I ponder that the theme of this novel is evolution in human history not physically but mentally. Getting a leader for their group, building shelters as their home, making spears to hunt, having assembly for their further plans, all of these support the theme of mental evolution in human history. Why would this be important to teenagers today? Let’s think about today’s teenagers holding the theme back for a second. Modern day teenagers have nothing to worry about because it’s already developed today. The teenagers in the novel, ‘Lord of the Flies’ are highly concerned with the theme since nothing’s available in the island. These teenagers have to keep thinking and thinking order to live throughout their surroundings. Let’s look at the modern teenagers now. Mental evolution to modern day teenagers symbolize for advancing in grade, studying hard, and stuffs. These teenagers have nothing to worry about since there is everything under control. Their parents take care of them, and they don’t have to be concerned with something, but some of them are somewhat being alarmed to their surroundings and they try their best on around it. As a result, the theme of mental evolution is very significant (or effective is better word to say), to those teenagers who are living today.
This is a poem related to my first entry, which is about human evolution.
Evolutionby Julie Donner Andersen
Who were you
when you were with her
(before you and I)?
Who were you
when you were her man
(before she died)?
Who are you now?
A different man…
or are you the same?
Stronger and wiser?
Gentler and kinder?
(My, how you’ve changed!)
Would I know you then?
Would she know you now?
How?
You have evolved.
Riddle solved.

I don't know... But I think kids in this novel had not enough education, at least if today teenagers falls into an island, I don't think they will kill a human and everything...
Thus you are saying that...
We also think harder as they do???
(They are the people who are lost in the island).
We should think about when are we going to do if everything is not under control??
If your poing are these that i have made, then i also agree with you... I think we have to think ourselves that what we are gonna do when the situation comes...
