      I mean... the world’s history (and current events) don’t really agree with your conclusion. Yes, there are stories of cooperation; in fact, it’s the main reason we have a civilization at all. But there’s also the mongol hoards, the romans, Bolsheviks.... and on it goes. I think lord of the flies was an important insight into one aspect of human nature, not an inevitable conclusion.

    The funniest part of _Lord of the Flies_ is that it was never meant to be a "oh, look how savage humans are when left ungoverned in their natural state, men are beasts, etc. etc.." William Golding was just so _sick_ of the huge amounts of 'British children go on adventures elsewhere' books that were being published at the time, and was also sick of his students, who he despised as spoiled, horrible specimens of people, that he wrote the book as a response. Each character is based off a real life student of his and he definitely achieved his goal of scandalizing British society with the book's publication. Children, especially 'upstanding,' wealthy British boys had never been portrayed as anything but genteel and sophisticated before this, so this was like the equivalent of something like _The Exorcist_ or Stephen King's _It_ in terms of literary backlash and secret admiration. It was only later on that this idea of him trying to showcase the true nature of humans came into being. He really wrote the book because he was fed up with the literary trend of the era and thought his students were an example of how boarding schools and gentry at the time allowed their children to become cruel, horrible people without exercising any mediating force and how the upper class was letting their children go to shit. He really _shouldn't_ have been a teacher...
    TLDR; Golding wrote _Lord of the Flies_ as a fuck you to his contemporaries and students, with each character specifically, _recognizably_ modeled after one of his students as an even bigger fuck you to them, their parents, and his peers because he was just so fed up with them.

    I think calling them "The Real Lord of the Flies" is absolutely perfect, since TLotF was written to claim that human nature was evil, but when it came down to the wire, and a bunch of kids were actually stranded on an island together, they showed everyone how a real group of kids would've acted if they needed each other to survive.

    I know myself that i have heard of people who seek to rule and have power over others. but we need people who will get things done, more than we need someone to say "do that.." . We need more people to ask "can you help me with this." Because the job is started, you have shown it can be done and you are working towards the goal. You are not in charge. But you are the leader, you show how to do things and you make things work by doing.
    Who wants to rule the world ? I definetly do not. Because you are then responsible for what happens. It is better to show others what is needed, than it is to demand they do something.

    This story is actually more in tune with what human history looks like, a collective effort to survive. It reminds me of a famous story about Margaret Mead:
    “Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.
    But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.
    A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said.”
    We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized.
    - Ira Byock.”

      There were hens, eggs, and starches (taro I think is the name of that fruit) from the former farmers, plus the fat from coconut. And meat from fish if they were fishing (but eggs are better or getting chicken meat). They built chicken scoops, so they caught some.
      That is enough to survive - it is not a very varied diet (it depends if there were any berries, plants that were edible and that they knew. So if they knew them, a little more variety). Not a lot of choices, but enough. And they were healthy teenage boys with plenty of workout, and enough to eat, so you bet they were in good physical shape.

      The human body can only survive 3 weeks (21 days) without food. So I would argue that it was supposed to be 8 not 80 days. This would therefore confirm the reasoning for the ‘on the 9th day’ term

      I thought this as well then I considered that you could technically live for 15 months on the island and then die (on the island). That wouldn't really be "surviving" if living until normal old age or making it off the island is classified as survival.
      In that way the thumb / title don't really give away the full story necessarily.
