I am Locke

I am Locke, The great English Philosopher as one of the most influential of Enlightenment thinkers. For what I think of "Lord of the Flies", The tragedy at the end- many of them children were killed by Jack and his "hunters". They should possibly removed Jack as the leader. Therefore, his deeds are turning him into a bad person and led to chaos on the island. Ralph is worthy person to take the position as a leader- he is brilliant, good citizen, respects the law, and more protective with his followers including the littl'uns.

This seems more difficult for them to understand the human nature. Their survival on the island is a slight success but not many has lived- although no other adults were there to save them. They would be fine if things stay as if they were so no one is hurt or anything.

Story about the "Lost Boys" was identical to the "Lord of the Flies". Similar about it- They stick together, protect  others and their lives, and survive till the end. What's different is that the "Lost Boys" only thing they lost was their parents- "Lord of the Flies" were stranded on the island and they were the only ones that are lost.

The Lost Boys in Sudan starts to travel to Kenya or Somalia for safety and resources. They're over 1,000+ people walking together to find new home for themselves after their hometown was destroyed. Many has lost a lot of things and important things in their lives, carry things they have left and move on.

This is more primitive to the human society, how they follow others and lead their people to a safe place, place trust and hope on certain people and themselves, respect others, and live to the fullest. They only have one life and are doing their best to keep them alive- not many has survived after trying to get across the river full of crocodiles although many wish not to get killed by other humans but dared to get across or get eaten. A lot has came across, deployed their new home and then the Americans has helped finding them jobs and much more fancy homes in the United States to live eternally. America made a discussion and give full details about the United States and how it looks, then it has brought many happiness to the Africans for their new homes.
