About the main characters
Main characters of this story is Larph, Jack, Piggy and Simon.
Larph, he is a boy with fairy hair. He has desposition to be a leader and have enough capapbilty to lead the children in right and ideal way. But he is not calm and persisten enough to fight against Jack's resistance. Compared to Jack he wants more peacful, fair and ideal life. And in contrast, he symblos a man with value of civilization, which also means virtue.
Another leader in this story, Jack is different with Larph. He is always related with shadows and darkness. He dreams of being dictator, and he is in the island. He symblos moral infamy, wants firm liberty from civilization, entesion of power. But he doesn't have any concern or insterest in leading children.
Larph's helper, Piggy is very fat weat glasses, and has asthma. He has wick body and most of the chidren ignores him. But he is very wise and Larph's brain. He symbols actualism. He tries to slove problems betweens the two group, but later he killed by Jack's people.
Lastly, Simon. He is the only one who tries to face people with virtue. When every one was devoted with their own instinction, he was treats people with the norm of value which he learned form the ideal, and educated humanity. Also, he thinks if norm, value and education of ideal world are usless in that place.
Personally, I like Simon. When the children first came to the island, that place was very beautiful, and calm. We can also think this place as the land God first gave us. The place is full of nature and beautiful, but by humankinds, this place is turning to dreadful and evil place. But Simon is the only one who tried to keep his virtue in that situation. Sadly, he murdered by his friends. It gave me these thoughts: Is vice stonger than virtue? Can vice damage and kill vice? The thing happening is the island is maybe also happening in this world. Puching and killing each other, tries to escape from ideal land, tempted to vice, hates virtue.

1. The theme and how is it related to teenager in 2008.
The author is trying to show us the origial nature of human. Telling human's nature is virtue or vice.
By airplane accident, these children (in the book) came to the uninhabited island. In that place, there wasn't any adults, and they were the only people in the island. So, they had to live by themselves. As the time passed through, their instinct revealed. There wasn't any rules, and rhere wasn't any adults. They were(the children) people who have freedom to live freely in thier own way in this place without religion, culture, common sense or educated ideal. Later, by each one of the children's instict, the conflicts reveals and divided into two groups. Who tries to live without any rules, or civilized human's thinks, be cruel and simple-minded, which reveals vice. Ans also the people who are very religious, try to make rules and pursuit ideal life, which reveales human's virtue.
"Humans are virtue or vice" it was very interesting question to me. And before I read the book, I though humans would be very nice and gentle inside. But in this story, it told me that without any rules or sense, most of the people will be evil and wrong, but also their will be few people lives with virtue.
Teenagers living in 2008. In teenager, most of our personality or chacter formed. We can be more cruel or selfish people or more calm and ideal people. And, the environment around us can be one of the most important factor that will form our nature and character. However, even if you are in good and very educated place, it doesn't mean you will be a person who borned with virtue. Because, you will make the choice to be vice or virtue. and your choice will be your instinct. We(teenager) as grow up, we'll have many conflicts(inside or out). And when those conflicts come to us, we'll expose our instinct. Then, you have to make a choice, be primitive and slfish or be very ideal and true. Any time, unexpectedly, we can be in place without any rules and you have to rule and decide by yourself. And if you chose to be bad, you can have more benefits and easier time. But otherwise, if we chose to be right and true, you'll have to have harder time and be tired. You will make a choice and it will affects to all the people around you.
