In Lord of the Flies, early on in chapter one, Piggy asks, "aren't there any grown-ups at all?" and Ralph says, "No grown-ups." How do the two boys...

The boys are quite thrilled to be without any adult
supervision. However, they really don't know how to react without it. They immediately
set out to recreate the society they knew on this deserted island They appoint a leader,
and give each other a particular, dedicated role.


The boys
constantly struggle to find the proper balance between freedom and control. They tend to
react in a pre-adolescent violent nature, showing that societal constraints must be
learned.


Even with all the violent conflict, they still are
excited at being able to develop their own societal rules.
