reading focus

my reading focus is loss of innocence. I think that there are many ways you can look at this. you can look at it in the way of them growing up, or in the way of their actions almost going from being innocent and civil, to becoming savage.

the loss of innocence that i have been noticing it them becoming more savage. they are changing from being proper boys to become savage children that live on an island alone. they are having to grow up and fast.

in the begging of the book, the boys try and kill a pig but get scared. i think this is loss of innocence because they had never thought of killing an animal before and now thats the only thing they can do to survive. another way they are loosing their innocence is how they treat each other. at first they were all nice to one another and now they are hurting each other physically and mentally.
