Inhumanity In Lord Of The Flies By William Golding

In the Roman Empire, England, France, and the Middle East, ever since people have been around, there has always been conflict and war and a common presence has been inhumanity.

Furthermore, Virgil Dickinson, a 13-year-old victim of hurricane Harvey, was able to save the lives of 17 neighbors with just an air mattress. Golding would be pleased that people are willing to put differences aside and support others. In Lord of the Flies Piggy had recently met
