While I was reading this book, there were lots of quotes that comes to my mind and made me think but the quote that was the most attract to me was one of the quote from chapter four, "Roger gathered a handful of stones and began to throw them. Yet there was a space round Henry, perhaps six yards in diameter, into which he dare not throw. Here, invisible yet strong, was the taboo of the old life. Round the squatting child was the protection of parents and school and policemen and the law." I think this passage in the novel is very meaningful because it show the beginning and important step of the kids starting to changing into savagery. They starts to cracks and beginning to show savage side of human that who has more power use force to overwhelm the smaller powers, and most of the boys lose their respect for parents and other forces. These forces breaks out as the savage instinct replaces the instinct for civilization among the boys. However, this quote had represented and showed the important step of kids starts to changing and show the savagery.
