The boys from “Lord Of the Flies” were stuck on an island and had to help themselves and each other, as there was no adult with them to lay down rules. By being by themselves someone had to set rules but these rules helped at the start when they were co-operating as it progresses the boys become wild and do whatever they want.
At the start Piggy found the conch and this helped them to keep their assembly’s, also whoever had hold of the conch had the power to talk. These boys had lots of discipline and had a military style as they were all cadets and always referred to sir, Though this respect didn’t take place throughout the entire film.

Though most of them never seen the point in rules and thought they could do whatever they like because there were no adults to give order and they ended up being crazy and turning against one another. Jack had changed the boys in his tribe to become just like he was, violent. This lead to the boys committing murders such as when they killed the pig and invited Ralph’s tribe to join them which also led to the younger boys leaving Ralphs tribe to join Jacks after seeing them do well with finding food and how much fun they had but after they had the feast they all played a game and seen Simon in the distance who Jack called out it was the monster and ended up murdering him.
