I believe that the kids are acting this way because they are unsupervised. Just like an undomesticated animal, they need to be trained and watched over. Without their parents they are a small fish in a big pond. They need to be guided through life, not figure it out for themselves. One connection I have to this story, is in middle school I read a book called the hatchet by gary pulsen where a a boys plane crashed and he was stranded by himself on an 'island' left to figure life out all on his own, when he clearly wasn't ready to be on his own. Although the boy in the story the hatchet was older than this group of boys in lord of the flies, he still had many struggles to face. One prediction I have for this story lord of the flies is that I believe things are going to start to go wrong, because ever since they've got there, things have just been going down hill. So I believe that something major is going to change the course of this book in the upcoming chapters.
