What is the mood of this novel? Do you find this novel saddens you in any way? why?
I think the mood changed from hopeful to depressing and hopeless. First, when the kids arrived at the island, they cooperated and worked actively to organize their group. They set their leader through voting and planed ways to survive on the island until they are rescued. Since then, everything seemed to go peacefully. However, the peace didn't last long until Jack got out of the group and the group started to fall apart. Under the savagery, kids got wild and fell into chaos. Some children were even killed cruelly. Hopeless and depressing mood was intensified until the very end of the novel when the adults arrived. It's sad how we can fall into chaos and savagery in such a short period without adults' control over us.

I totally agree to this post. This describes the mood of the whole story very well. This also saddened me, the fact that people are corrupt, and savagery wins over civilizing. I just hope that this does not happen again in this world we are living in.
I do agree with the post, but there is something missing. The mood is depressing and hopeless, but at almost the beginning of the novel, the kids were filled with satisfactions and hopes.
I agree with your mood. I also thought the mood of the novel was depressing and hopeless. It's is extremely sad to see young kids figt over until death in a deseted island. I thought the mood of this novel was sort of scary as well. There are lots of violence and killing in this novel that made me feel scared.
